3.3 V CAN transceiver in a SOT-23-8 footprint
The part comes in an SOT-23-8 package, a compact surface-mount footprint suited for space-constrained PCBs in engine control units, sensor nodes, and actuator modules. With one driver and one receiver onboard, it handles a standard CAN node interface. The base product number is TCAN330, indicating it belongs to the family of 3.3 V CAN transceivers from TI.
Supply voltage — the 3.3 V rail is a hard boundary
The TCAN330DCNR is strictly a 3.3 V device. The 3.3 V operation aligns with low-power microcontrollers and reduces bus emission edge rates compared to 5 V transceivers.
It will function reliably in engine compartments, transmission controllers, and industrial motor drives where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C. The 125°C upper limit covers the hottest under-hood locations, but derating for self-heating at high bus traffic should still be checked against the application's thermal profile.
