Product details

CAN FD transceiver for automotive networks

The 8-VSON package with wettable flanks supports automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints, a requirement for high-reliability automotive assembly.

The 5 Mbps data rate supports CAN FD (flexible data-rate) frames, allowing payloads larger than the classical 8 bytes per message. In a mixed-speed network, the transceiver handles arbitration at the standard CAN rate and switches to the higher rate during the data phase. This matters for ECU firmware updates over CAN and for high-bandwidth sensor data streams where classical CAN would bottleneck.

AEC-Q100 and the temperature envelope

Wettable flank package for AOI

The 8-VSON (3x3 mm) package includes wettable flanks — exposed metal on the side of the package that wets with solder during reflow. This lets an AOI system verify the solder joint from the side, not just the top. For automotive production lines that require 100% solder-joint inspection, this package avoids the need for X-ray or manual check.

Frequently asked questions

Is TCAN1042GVDRBRQ1 automotive qualified (AEC-Q100)?

Yes, the TCAN1042GVDRBRQ1 is part of the Automotive, AEC-Q100 series.

Is TCAN1042GVDRBRQ1 a drop-in replacement for TCAN1042D?

Both parts share the TCAN1042 base product number and the same 1/1 driver/receiver configuration. Pin compatibility depends on the specific package variant — verify the footprint against your board layout.

Is TCAN1042GVDRBRQ1 compatible with 3.3 V logic?

The logic interface levels are referenced to the supply rail. For 3.3 V microcontroller I/O, a level translator or a CAN transceiver with a separate VIO pin would be needed.
