Product details
Overview
TCAN332DCNR from Texas Instruments is a 3.3V high-speed CAN transceiver compliant with ISO 11898-2, supporting up to 1 Mbps data rate in standard CAN networks. It operates across –40°C to 125°C, features ±12V common-mode range and ±14V bus fault protection, and functions exclusively in Normal mode with no standby, silent, or shutdown capability. It is used in industrial automation and building control systems requiring robust, low-power CAN physical layer interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the TCAN332DCNR datasheet, TCAN332DCNR pinout, TCAN332DCNR application, or TCAN332DCNR equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed Normal-mode operation, SOT-23-8 package footprint, 135 ns max loop delay, integrated TXD/RXD dominant time-out protection, and compatibility with 3.3V CAN controllers without level-shifting.
Technical Context
The TCAN332DCNR implements a differential driver/receiver pair with matched dominant and recessive common-mode behavior for superior EMC performance. Its internal logic enforces TXD and RXD dominant time-out (1.2–3.8 ms and 1.6–5 ms respectively) to prevent bus lockup during controller faults.
No mode-control pins are functional: Pin 5 (SHDN) and Pin 8 (S) are No Connect (NC), disabling all power-saving modes. Bus terminals (CANH/CANL) provide ±25 kV HBM and ±12 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection, eliminating need for external TVS diodes in many system-level designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 1 Mbps - supports standard CAN (not CAN FD); sufficient for CANopen, DeviceNet, and NMEA2000 protocols. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - enables direct interface with 3.3V microcontrollers without voltage translation. |
| Total Loop Delay | ≤135 ns - ensures timing compliance in high-speed CAN networks with tight propagation budgets. |
| Common-Mode Range | ±12 V - maintains reliable communication in electrically noisy industrial environments with ground offsets. |
| Bus Fault Protection | ±14 V - withstands transient overvoltages on CANH/CANL without latch-up or damage. |
| ESD Protection | ±25 kV HBM on CANH/CANL - meets automotive and industrial immunity requirements without external protection components. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood, factory-floor, and outdoor embedded applications. |
Pinout & Package
TCAN332DCNR is housed in an 8-pin SOT-23 package (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. Pin functions are validated per TI SLLSEQ7F datasheet Figures 4-2 and Table 4-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - TXD | Input | CMOS-level transmit data input; LOW = dominant, HIGH = recessive; internal pull-up eliminates need for external resistor. |
| 2 - GND | Ground | Primary reference for supply and signal integrity; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3 - VCC | Supply | 3.3V power input; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin. |
| 4 - RXD | Output | CMOS-level receive data output; tri-state capable; drives HIGH for recessive, LOW for dominant bus state. |
| 5 - NC | No Connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or EMI. |
| 6 - CANL | I/O | Differential low-side CAN bus terminal; connects directly to twisted-pair CAN-L line with 120 Ω termination at network ends. |
| 7 - CANH | I/O | Differential high-side CAN bus terminal; connects directly to twisted-pair CAN-H line; symmetric layout critical for EMC. |
| 8 - NC | No Connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected; floating NC pins reduce noise susceptibility vs. grounded stubs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Normal-mode-only operation | Eliminates complexity of mode control logic and associated PCB routing; ideal for cost-sensitive, always-on CAN nodes. |
| Integrated TXD/RXD dominant time-out | Prevents permanent bus lockup due to MCU firmware hang; auto-releases bus after 1.2–5 ms without external watchdog intervention. |
| ±25 kV HBM ESD on bus pins | Enables direct board-level integration into harsh environments (e.g., factory floors) without discrete ESD protection devices. |
| Unpowered bus pin high-impedance | Allows safe hot-plug or power sequencing where VCC may be absent while CAN bus remains live; zero loading on active network. |
| Matched dominant/recessive common-mode | Reduces radiated emissions by >6 dB compared to asymmetric transceivers; simplifies EMC pre-compliance testing. |
Applications
| Industrial Automation Node | Building Climate Control Hub |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Distributed I/O module communicating with PLC over CAN bus in a manufacturing cell with variable ground potentials and motor drive noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Physical layer transceiver converting 3.3V UART signals from ARM Cortex-M4 MCU to differential CANH/CANL bus signals with <135 ns loop delay.

| Telecom Base Station Monitor | Off-Road Vehicle Control Unit |
Use Scenario: Remote monitoring unit reporting status (fan speed, temperature, power supply health) from telecom base station cabinets via CAN backhaul. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolated CAN physical layer node interfacing with 3.3V telemetry MCU; operates continuously at 85°C ambient. Use Value: –40°C to 125°C operating range ensures reliability in uncooled outdoor enclosures; low 3.5 mA recessive supply current extends backup battery life. | Use Scenario: Engine control module in agricultural machinery using CAN to coordinate hydraulic valves, PTO, and GPS-guided steering systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ruggedized CAN transceiver surviving vibration, wide temperature swings, and load-dump transients on 24V vehicle electrical system. Use Value: ±14V bus fault protection withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (load dump); unpowered high-impedance bus pins prevent interference during ignition cycling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CAN transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN65HVD230DR | 5V supply only; no TXD/RXD DTO; 125°C max junction temp; SOIC-8 only. | Requires level-shifter for 3.3V MCUs; lacks bus-lock prevention; less suitable for battery-powered or thermally constrained designs. | Select when legacy 5V systems dominate and DTO is not required; verify thermal margin in enclosed enclosures. |
| TCAN337DR | Includes open-drain FAULT output pin; same 3.3V supply and 1 Mbps rating; SOIC-8 package. | Enables real-time fault diagnostics (bus short, overtemp, UVLO) without additional GPIO polling; larger footprint than SOT-23. | Choose when system-level fault reporting is mandatory and PCB space allows SOIC-8; not drop-in compatible due to pinout and package. |
Compared with SN65HVD230DR, TCAN332DCNR offers native 3.3V operation and bus-lock protection but lacks fault signaling; versus TCAN337DR, it trades diagnostic capability for smaller size and lower cost-ideal for cost-optimized, always-on CAN nodes where fault visibility is handled at MCU level.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the TCAN332DCNR?
The TCAN332DCNR supports up to 1 Mbps data rate in standard CAN networks. It is not rated for CAN FD operation-only the TCAN332G variants (e.g., TCAN332GDR) support 5 Mbps. This 1 Mbps limit ensures timing compliance with ISO 11898-2 for networks up to 40 meters in length with proper termination.
Does the TCAN332DCNR support low-power modes like standby or shutdown?
No, the TCAN332DCNR operates exclusively in Normal mode. Pins 5 (SHDN) and 8 (S) are No Connect (NC), so standby, silent, and shutdown modes are disabled. Power consumption remains at ~3.5 mA in recessive state and ~55 mA in dominant state-intentionally simplified for always-on applications.
What package type is used for the TCAN332DCNR, and what are its dimensions?
The TCAN332DCNR uses the SOT-23-8 package, measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm (nominal, including pins). This compact footprint is ideal for dense PCB layouts in space-constrained modules such as sensor nodes and edge controllers, and is distinct from the SOIC-8 option used by other TCAN33x variants.
How does the TCAN332DCNR protect against bus faults and ESD events?
The TCAN332DCNR provides ±14 V fault protection on CANH/CANL pins and ±25 kV HBM ESD protection on those same pins. It also includes IEC 61000-4-2 ±12 kV contact discharge protection-enabling direct integration into harsh environments without external TVS diodes or RC filters in most industrial use cases.
Is the TCAN332DCNR pin-compatible with other TCAN33x devices like TCAN334 or TCAN337?
No, the TCAN332DCNR is not pin-compatible with TCAN334 or TCAN337. While all share the SOT-23-8 outline, Pin 5 is NC in TCAN332DCNR but functions as SHDN in TCAN334 or FAULT in TCAN337, and Pin 8 is NC here but serves as STB or S elsewhere. PCB layout must be specific to TCAN332DCNR's NC pin configuration.
