Product details

5 Mbps CANbus transceiver for 5 V automotive buses

The Texas Instruments TCAN1051GDRBTQ1 is an AEC-Q100-qualified half-duplex CANbus transceiver that handles signaling up to 5 Mbps on a standard 5 V CAN bus. It pulls a single 1/1 driver/receiver pair into an 8-VSON package with a wettable flank for automated optical inspection. The receiver hysteresis of 120 mV cleans up a noisy bus without external filtering.

Package and footprint: 8-VSON with wettable flank

Housed in an 8-VDFN exposed-pad package, supplier device package 8-VSON (3x3 mm). The wettable flank on the leads gives the AOI system a clear solder-fillet target, which is a practical advantage when the board house runs first-article inspection on an automotive line.

Frequently asked questions

Is TCAN1051GDRBTQ1 obsolete or end-of-life?

It remains a current-production choice for new automotive CAN bus designs.

How does TCAN1051GDRBTQ1 compare to TCAN1051DRBTQ1?

The base part number is the same (TCAN1051), and both are half-duplex CAN transceivers at 5 Mbps in an 8-VSON package. The 'G' suffix indicates the wettable-flank option for AOI-friendly solder joints — functionally identical on the bus, but the wettable flank matters if your CM requires automated optical inspection of the fillet.

Is TCAN1051GDRBTQ1 compatible with 3.3V logic?

The logic input thresholds are referenced to VCC, not a separate I/O supply — a 3.3 V microcontroller will not reliably drive the TXD input high. Level translation is needed at the MCU interface if the host runs at 3.3 V.
