Overview
The TCAN330DR, produced by Texas Instruments, is a 3.3-V CAN (Controller Area Network) transceiver that is part of the TCAN33x family. This device is designed to be compatible with the ISO 11898-2 High Speed CAN Physical Layer standard and supports data rates up to 1 Mbps. It operates on a single 3.3-V supply, making it suitable for direct interface with 3.3-V CAN controllers or microcontrollers. The TCAN330DR is available in both SOIC-8 and SOT-23 package options, catering to various application needs including space-constrained designs.
