Texas Instruments TCAN6062 CAN XL Transceivers
Texas Instruments TCAN6062 CAN XL Transceivers are high-speed Controller Area Network (CAN) transceivers that meet the physical layer requirements of the ISO 11898-2:2024 Annex A (CAN XL) specification. These devices support PWM decoding on the TXD pin, enabling operation in SIC, FAST TX, and FAST RX modes. For SIC mode, these devices reduce signal ringing at the dominant-to-recessive edge and enable higher throughput in complex network topologies. In FAST TX mode, the device uses an H-bridge architecture to drive logic states actively. This driver architecture, along with FAST RX thresholds centered around zero and an input logic buffer (TXD) threshold centered around 50%, enables high-speed communication up to 20Mbps in multidrop networks. FAST RX mode uses a high-speed comparator to detect bus traffic up to 20Mbps and convert it into received logic data.
The Texas Instruments TCAN6062 includes internal logic-level translation via the VIO logic-supply terminal, allowing direct interfacing with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V controllers. The transceiver supports low-power standby mode, which allows remote wake-up via the CAN bus, compliant with the ISO 11898-2:2024 Annex A-defined wake-up pattern (WUP). The device also includes several protection features, including undervoltage detection, thermal shutdown (TSD), driver-dominant timeout (TXD DTO), and ±58V bus fault protection. These devices are pin-compatible with 8-pin CAN FD and CAN SIC transceivers such as TCAN1044Ax-Q1 and/or TCAN1472V-Q1.
