Comparisons of CAN transceivers

Hi – I’ve had a standard transceiver, the SN65HVD251, I’ve used in many of my designs in the past couple years. Unfortunately, it will not work in an upcoming design as it cannot handle talking to a 3.3V CAN controller, as it expects at least 0.7VCC for a high input and I’m running it at 5V. So now I’m forced to look at what else is on the market. I’m trying to find the fastest possible 5V CAN transceiver that can handle 3.3V TXD high input. I previously have been using the SN65HVD251 which lists a max propagation delay from TXD to RXD of 150ns. Right now, the Maxim MAX3050 is looking best to me with a propagation delay of 130ns and support for TXDh as low as 2V.

 

Any suggestions for anything better? I am really hoping to avoid the Maxim part as I have had some problems with their supply chain in the past, but currently it’s looking to be the best option.

 

Thanks,

 

-Michael

Michael,

 

Take a look at the 3.3-V CAN transceivers from Texas Instruments at ti.com.  They are ideally suited to your needs and run at very low power as compared with the Maxim part.  Plus, they send you free samples – the next day.

 

SN65HVD230

SN65HVD231

SN65HVD232

SN65HVD233

SN65HVD234

SN65HVD235

 

Cheers,

Steve C.

Steve – In the past I had troubles mixing 5V and 3.3V TI CAN transceivers. It was years ago and I never fully investigated the problem, so I can’t really say what the cause was. Do you see any reason to be worried about mixing CAN transceivers like this?

 

Thanks,

hi  sir 
i am a biginer in CAN

i am sending one message continuously using a while loop
messages transmitting but after some time it will Waite for CANTA signal..and transmission will  stop..in other node also the same after some time it will stuck in CANRMP....

Why not use 3.3v CAN transceivers such as the SN65HVD232 from Texas Instruments?

Hi Michael,

 

I have never seen any problems in mixing them.  I have both on a bus that have been running for years without problems.  They are slightly more capacitive, but this would only become a problem (as do 5-V transceivers) when they are “clustered” too close together on a bus – especially when there is a distant node talking to the “cluster.”   The 3-3V devices are slightly more sensitive to this syndrome, but that’s about it.

 

Cheers,

Steve C.

Joy,
   You need to explain the problem/symptoms better to enable folks to help you. The fact that you are able to transmit for a while indicates that baud-rate mismatch is unlikley the problem. Could it be that one of the nodes is going bus-off?

p.s: BTW, it would be a good idea to start a new thread with an appropriate subject line when you post a *new* question to the forum.

Michael,

if you want to keep your SN65HVD251, you may think of using
a single gate logic chip like the 74HCT1G32 for the
transceivers TX signal. Let it be powered by 5V, it can
drive the SN65HVD251 while accepting the 3V high level of
the CAN controller.

how do 5V and 3.3V Can tranceiver work together?

we have a product with a 3.3V micro / 3.3V can tranceiver. the PC CAN adapter is a 5V design. the seem to talk to each other. At high baud rates we get lots of errors, also the CAN_H signal seems to be very distorted.

I do have TI 3.3V CAN transceiver works together with many other +5V CAN transceivers from different vendors. It seems no issue at all on my applications.

What's your slew rate control resistor for the Transceiver? It shouldn't be a big issue for normal baud rate of 250K, but you should be able to do some test by changing it with higher baud rate, like 500K and 1M.

The pro is you can use the +5V transceiver, the con is you need two voltage regulator, one for +5V, and one for +3.3V.

how is this actually? looks to me that the 'off' voltage is 2.5V, when the 3.3V transceiver wants to send a 'on' he can only pull the level to 3.3V, a 0.8V level shift. that'n not a lot to load the the line capacity. The 5.0V receiver is used to a 2.5V level shift (5V-2.5V).
This could be the cause of the maringal performance I see at 500Kb.

Wow, that must be a magic transceiver to get 5-V levels with a 5-V supply.  Hang on to that one.  Mine typically get 3.5 V with app. 2V differential.  That’s way more noise margin than I need.

Indeed. This is also the typical requirement for SAE J1939. See the charts in following links for reference:
http://www.auelectronics.com/forum/index.php/topic,41.msg106/topicseen.html#msg106

At dominant state:A typical CAN_H is about 3.5V, and a typical CAN_L is about 1.5V.
At recessive state: the CAN_H and CAN_L are both at the same voltage level and should be about 2.5V.
