TCAN330GDCNR

TCAN330GDCNR is a Texas Instruments CAN transceiver. It serves as the electrical bridge between a CAN controller (TXD/RXD) and the physical CAN bus (CANH/CANL), handling level shifting, bus impedance, and signal shaping for reliable CAN communication.
Key points:
- Interfaces a CAN controller to the CAN bus; supports standard CAN (and CAN FD on some variants) depending on the device.
- Features automotive-grade protection: undervoltage/overvoltage, bus fault protection, ESD protection, and wake/standby support for low power.
- Typical pins include TXD, RXD, CANH, CANL, VCC, GND, with optional standby/enable pins and slope-control options for EMI management.
- Designed for robustness in automotive and industrial environments; RoHS-compliant in the GDCNR package.
Use: pair with a CAN controller (MCU/SoC) to enable CAN network communication in applications like automotive gateways, industrial controllers, and embedded systems. For exact electrical specs and pinout, refer to TI’s datasheet for TCAN330GDCNR.

Here are the key features of TCAN330GDCNR:
- 1-channel CAN transceiver with CAN and CAN FD support ( connects to a CAN controller via TXD/RXD )
- Automotive-grade operation: VCC 4.5–5.5 V; wide temperature range (-40°C to 125°C)
- Sleep/low‑power mode with low quiescent current; wake-on-bus functionality
- EMI/EMC: slope control (gentle transitions) to reduce EMI
- Bus protection: robust protection on CANH/CANL with fault/short-circuit protection and ESD protection on I/O pins
- CAN FD capable: supports CAN FD data payload up to 64 bytes
- Easy integration: compact 8-pin package (GDCNR), RoHS compliant
- Standard interface: TTL-compatible TXD/RXD to CAN controller
- Suitable for automotive applications requiring reliable high-speed CAN/CAN FD transceiver
Note: For exact electrical specs, timing, and qualification data, refer to the TI TCAN330G datasheet.

- Pin count: 8 pins (SOIC-8/VSSOP-8 style)
- Function: One-channel CAN FD transceiver. Interfaces a CAN controller (TXD input, RXD output) to the CAN bus (CANH, CANL); provides VCC and GND, plus EN (enable) and STB (standby) control pins. Supports CAN FD electrical interface.

- Manufacturer: Texas Instruments (TI)
- What kind of company: A US multinational semiconductor company that designs and manufactures analog, mixed-signal, and embedded processing integrated circuits for automotive, industrial, and consumer markets.

TCAN330GDCNR is a CAN/CAN FD transceiver. Common application areas include:
