CAN FD transceiver for 5 Mbps automotive buses
5 V supply rail — not 3.3 V logic compatible
If your MCU runs on 3.3 V, you need level translation on the TXD/RXD pins or a CAN transceiver with a separate VIO supply. The 5 Mbps data rate is achievable only with CAN FD controllers that can clock the arbitration phase above 1 Mbps; classic CAN controllers are limited to 1 Mbps.
Active lifecycle and automotive qualification
The AEC-Q100 qualification covers the stress tests required for automotive-grade components: extended temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and ESD robustness.
Wettable flank package for AOI
The 8-VSON (3x3) package includes wettable flanks, which allow solder-joint inspection after reflow using automated optical inspection (AOI). This is a practical advantage for automotive production lines where hidden solder joints under a standard DFN would require X-ray.
