Key Differentiators

  • ±58V bus fault protection (vs TCAN1051VDRQ1)
  • AEC-Q100 qualified (vs MCP2551)
  • CAN FD support up to 2 Mbps (vs SN65HVD230)

Design Notes

The SOIC-8 package has limited thermal dissipation. At 5.5V supply and 45mA current, power dissipation is low (~0.25W), typically no heatsink is needed. However, in high-noise environments with bus shorts, keep the junction temperature below 150°C. Use a copper pour under the device to improve thermal conductivity and ensure adequate vias to the ground plane.

Place a 100nF decoupling capacitor as close to VCC as possible, and add a 10µF bulk capacitor near the device. Route CANH and CANL as a balanced differential pair with 120Ω termination at the far end. For improved EMC, use a split termination network with a center-tapped capacitor to ground. Keep the trace lengths balanced and away from high-speed digital lines.

Do not exceed the 5.5V supply voltage. Connect the S pin to an I/O to control silent mode; leaving it floating may cause undefined operation. Ensure bus voltage does not exceed ±58V; otherwise, the device may be damaged. Always verify the pinout before substituting with other brands, as some SOIC-8 CAN transceivers have different pin assignments.
