AM6548: External CAN Transceiver

Part Number: AM6548

Hi,

Our customer has understood that a external CAN transceiver IC is needed to use MCU_MCAN in AM65x.

They would like to know whether any other IC is needed or not?

Regards,

  • Hello,
    yes, your customer should use additional chip for the CAN transceiver.
    In general MCU's do not contain transceiver buffers in their die for many reasons.
    Separate chips are used for this purpose with better ESD protection and reliable high current line buffers which TI can provide.
    Just for reference you can check (but not limited to) the SN65HVD2xx or SN65HVD10xx series of chips.

    Regards,
