Product details

CAN transceiver for 3.3V systems with 5 Mbps support

Supply voltage and bus compatibility

It interfaces directly with 3.3V microcontrollers and CAN controllers without level shifters. For mixed-voltage systems where the bus is shared with 5V transceivers, the part's bus pins are typically tolerant to common-mode voltages within the CAN standard, but the supply rail must stay within the 3.6V maximum — do not connect a 5V supply to the VCC pin.

The wide range also provides margin for self-heating in high-duty-cycle CAN traffic.

Lifecycle status — active, no EOL concern

For supply resilience, the base product number TCAN330 family includes multiple package and temperature variants that share the same core design.

Frequently asked questions

Is TCAN330GDCNT a direct replacement for SN65HVD230 or other 3.3V CAN transceivers?

The TCAN330GDCNT is a 3.3V CAN transceiver in a SOT-23-8 package, while the SN65HVD230 typically comes in an SOIC-8 package. The pinout may differ between the two packages, so a direct PCB replacement is not guaranteed without verifying the footprint. Both parts operate from a 3.3V supply and support CAN bus communication, but the TCAN330GDCNT offers a higher data rate of 5 Mbps versus the SN65HVD230's typical 1 Mbps. Check the respective datasheets for pin compatibility before substituting.

Does TCAN330GDCNT support 5 Mbps data rate and is it compatible with 5V CAN bus systems?

Yes, the TCAN330GDCNT supports a data rate of 5 Mbps, which enables CAN FD operation. For compatibility with a 5V CAN bus, the transceiver's bus pins are designed to meet the CAN standard's common-mode voltage range, allowing it to communicate on a shared bus with 5V transceivers. However, the VCC supply must remain at 3.3V — do not apply 5V to the supply pin.
