Click2Contact

Texas Instruments has released its TCAN1042 fault-protected CAN transceivers with flexible data rate. The transceivers work with the TI CAN evaluation board to perform CAN (controlled area network) evaluation. This includes the load and termination settings required for electronic design engineers looking to evaluate CAN transceiver operation and performance in factory and building automation, smart grids, automotive infotainment and advanced driver assist systems, communications infrastructures and more.

The transceiver family meets the requirements of the ISO11898-2 high-speed CAN physical layer standard. It also has simple connections to the TCAN1042DEVM evaluation board, which is equipped with the necessary jumpers for flexible device pin and CAN bus configuration. All devices are designed for use in CAN FD networks up to 5 Mbps.

The transceiver comes equipped with protection features including ESD protection of bus pins, undervoltage protection on supply pins, thermal shutdown protection, TXD and RXD receiver with dominant time out. It has a high operating temperature of +125°C and is AEC-Q100 qualified.

Other benefits include: common mode choke not required (per OEM); a wide VCC range (4.5 to 5.5 V) for start and stop without boost; wide I/O voltage level adapting reduces external components; extended bus-fault protection supporting 48 V systems; hot swap support with glitch-free bus I/O on power up and down; and P2P compatible packaging.
