Product details
Overview
TCAN332DR from Texas Instruments is a 3.3V high-speed CAN transceiver compliant with ISO 11898-2, supporting up to 1 Mbps data rate in normal mode only, operating across –40°C to 125°C, with ±12V common-mode range and total loop delay < 135 ns. It interfaces directly with 3.3V CAN controllers in industrial automation and building control networks.
For engineers reviewing the TCAN332DR datasheet, TCAN332DR pinout, TCAN332DR application, or TCAN332DR equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOIC-8 package, absence of standby/silent/shutdown modes, integrated driver/receiver dominant time-out protection, and compatibility with 5V CAN transceivers on shared buses.
Technical Context
The TCAN332DR implements a differential bus interface with matched dominant/recessive common-mode behavior for robust EMC performance. Its receiver features 500–900 mV input threshold with 120 mV hysteresis and supports –12V to +12V common-mode voltage in normal and silent modes.
Driver output symmetry is specified within ±400 mV (CANHREC + CANLREC – CANHDOM – CANLDOM), and it includes undervoltage lockout (2.2–2.6 V rising, 1.65–2.5 V falling) and thermal shutdown at 175°C with 5°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 1 Mbps - supports standard CAN (not CAN FD) in highly loaded networks without timing symmetry constraints. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - enables direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Common-Mode Range | ±12 V - ensures reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments with ground offsets. |
| Total Loop Delay | < 135 ns - meets timing budgets for real-time CAN communication at 1 Mbps with margin. |
| ESD Protection | ±25 kV HBM, ±12 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact - eliminates need for external TVS diodes on bus lines. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded applications. |
| Bus Fault Protection | ±14 V - withstands transient overvoltage events on CANH/CANL without latch-up or damage. |
Pinout & Package
TCAN332DR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (4.9 mm × 6 mm), with pin 1 marked by a beveled corner or dot. Pin functions are fixed per device variant: pins 5 and 8 are NC (no connect), confirming no standby, silent, or fault functionality.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 TXD | Input | CMOS-level transmit data input; LOW = dominant, HIGH = recessive; internal pull-up ensures fail-safe recessive default. |
| 2 GND | Ground | Primary reference for all logic and bus circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3 VCC | Supply | 3.3V power input; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed ≤5 mm from pin. |
| 4 RXD | Output | CMOS-level receive data output; tri-state during power-down; drives MCU input with 0.2–0.4 V LOW and ≥2.64 V HIGH. |
| 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 bus terminal; designed for twisted-pair termination; supports ±14 V fault tolerance. |
| 7 CANH | I/O | Differential high-side bus terminal; matches CANL for common-mode rejection; same fault rating as CANL. |
| 8 NC | No Connect | Not internally bonded; floating per TI device comparison table; no pull-up/down or internal function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single 3.3V supply operation | Eliminates need for dual-rail supplies or level shifters when interfacing with modern 3.3V CAN controllers. |
| Driver and receiver dominant time-out (DTO) | Prevents bus lockup: TXD DTO (1.2–3.8 ms) disables driver after prolonged dominant state; RXD DTO (1.6–5 ms) forces RXD high if bus stays dominant too long. |
| Optimized unpowered behavior | Bus pins (CANH/CANL) and logic pins (TXD/RXD) enter high-impedance state when VCC = 0 V, avoiding loading of live bus or MCU. |
| Integrated 12 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection | Meets industrial surge immunity requirements without external protection components, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| Matched dominant/recessive common-mode behavior | Enables excellent EMC performance (CISPR 25 Class 5) in automotive and industrial noise environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CAN transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TCAN332D | Same SOIC-8 package, identical pinout and electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (DR = cut tape, D = reel). | No functional difference; both support 1 Mbps, NC on pins 5/8, same thermal and ESD ratings. | Select TCAN332D for automated SMT assembly requiring full reels; TCAN332DR suits prototyping or low-volume production with manual placement. |
| SN65HVD232DR | Also 3.3V, 1 Mbps, SOIC-8, but lacks driver/receiver DTO, has lower ESD (±16 kV HBM), and narrower common-mode (±7 V). | Suitable for benign environments only; cannot replace TCAN332DR in industrial settings requiring ±12 V CMR or bus-lockup prevention. | Choose SN65HVD232DR only where cost is critical and system-level fault protection is implemented externally. |
Compared with TCAN332D, TCAN332DR offers identical performance in cut-tape form for flexible procurement; versus SN65HVD232DR, it delivers superior bus robustness via integrated DTO, ±12 V common-mode, and ±25 kV HBM ESD-critical for unattended industrial deployments.

FAQ
Does TCAN332DR support CAN FD?
No, TCAN332DR supports standard CAN up to 1 Mbps only. CAN FD capability is exclusive to TCAN332G variants (e.g., TCAN332GDR), which include enhanced timing symmetry parameters for 2–5 Mbps operation and are explicitly designated with the "G" suffix in the part number.
What are the functions of pins 5 and 8 on TCAN332DR?
Pins 5 and 8 on TCAN332DR are No Connect (NC) terminals-unbonded and internally unconnected. They must remain unpopulated and unconnected on the PCB layout to prevent noise coupling or unintended current paths, as confirmed in TI's Device Options table and Pin Functions table.
Can TCAN332DR coexist on the same CAN bus with 5V transceivers?
Yes, TCAN332DR is fully compatible with 5V CAN transceivers on the same bus. Its differential output voltages (VO(D) = 2.45–3.3 V on CANH, 0.5–1.25 V on CANL) and input thresholds meet ISO 11898-2 requirements for interoperability, enabling mixed-voltage network designs without level shifters.
What protection features does TCAN332DR include beyond ESD?
TCAN332DR includes driver dominant time-out (1.2–3.8 ms), receiver dominant time-out (1.6–5 ms), undervoltage lockout (2.2–2.6 V rising threshold), thermal shutdown (175°C), and ±14 V bus pin fault tolerance-providing comprehensive defense against software faults, power anomalies, overheating, and wiring errors.
Is TCAN332DR qualified for automotive applications?
TCAN332DR is not AEC-Q100 qualified. While it operates from –40°C to +125°C and meets ISO 11898-2, it lacks automotive-specific qualification testing (e.g., stress testing, failure analysis). For automotive use, TI recommends AEC-Q100–qualified alternatives such as TCAN1042 or TCAN1051.
