Product details

Supply voltage and bus margin

If your board runs a 5 V rail from a buck converter, keep the output setpoint above 4.75 V to hold margin through load transients. Below 4.5 V the transceiver may not drive the recessive/dominant levels correctly, so a separate 5 V LDO for the CAN transceiver is common in mixed-voltage designs.

That covers cold-crank at -40°C and the junction temperature inside a sealed ECU near the engine. For industrial applications, the same range handles outdoor enclosures in direct sun or near a motor drive. The 8-SOIC package with 3.90 mm width fits standard footprints, and the surface-mount assembly is straightforward for reflow.

The base product number TCAN1042 covers multiple variants (different temperature grades and wake features), but the HGD suffix specifically denotes the 8-SOIC package and the extended temperature range.

Frequently asked questions

What is the TCAN1042HGD data rate?

The TCAN1042HGD supports data rates up to 5 Mbps, covering both classical CAN (up to 1 Mbps) and CAN FD (flexible data-rate) frames. The 5 Mbps rating is the physical-layer limit; the actual bus throughput depends on the CAN controller and network loading.
