TCAN6062-Q1 Overview
A CAN transceiver is a physical-layer interface IC that converts the differential CAN bus signals (CANH, CANL) into the single-ended TXD/RXD logic levels required by a host microcontroller or CAN controller. It sits in the hierarchy bus transceiver -> bus interface IC -> interface IC -> semiconductor, providing galvanic isolation, level shifting, bus dominant/recessive arbitration, and EMC/ESD protection for the in-vehicle network. Modern CAN XL extends classical CAN and CAN FD by adding a higher data-rate payload channel while preserving backward compatibility with ISO 11898-2.
Key features include an integrated standby mode for low-power sleep current, ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection on the bus pins, ±58 V bus fault protection, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40 °C to +125 °C ambient). The TCAN6062-Q1 also supports PWM-decoded signaling on TXD, enabling the SIC mode to actively reduce signal ringing during dominant-to-recessive transitions, which is critical for reliable multi-drop CAN XL networks at high data rates.
The device architecture pairs a high-speed differential driver/receiver pair with an internal logic core that monitors TXD and decodes PWM-coded commands to switch between normal, FAST TX, FAST RX, SIC, and standby states. Compared with legacy CAN FD transceivers (e.g. TCAN1044A-Q1), the TCAN6062-Q1 adds CAN XL PHY support and the signal-conditioning features required for ISO 11898-2:2024 Annex A compliance, while remaining pin-compatible to 8-pin SOIC footprints used by prior TCAN families.
Typical applications include automotive CAN XL backbone and zone-architecture networks, ADAS sensor ECUs (radar, lidar, camera), powertrain and chassis CAN nodes, body-domain controllers, and industrial CAN networks migrating from CAN FD to CAN XL.
A key design consideration: ensure the bus termination (typically 120 Ω at each end of the CAN XL backbone, with SIC transceivers often allowing split termination) is sized according to the cable DC resistance and number of in-line stubs. STB pin logic levels must respect the wake/sleep timing in the datasheet to avoid bus contention on cold-start.

Typical Applications
TCAN6062-Q1 is suitable for 6 applications: Automotive CAN XL Backbone Networks, ADAS Sensor ECUs (Radar, Lidar, Camera), Powertrain and Chassis CAN Nodes, Body and Comfort Domain Controllers, Industrial CAN Networks Migrating to CAN XL, Battery Management and EV Charging Communication.
Automotive CAN XL Backbone Networks
The TCAN6062-Q1 is engineered for the new CAN XL (ISO 11898-2:2024 Annex A) backbone in zonal E/E architectures, where data rates up to 20 Mbps are needed between zone gateways. Its integrated SIC mode actively damps the dominant-to-recessive ringing that otherwise limits classical CAN FD at multi-Mbps on long stubs. Deployed between the zone gateway MCU's CAN XL controller and the twisted-pair backbone, it preserves electrical compatibility with legacy CAN FD nodes mixed on the same segment, allowing staged migration without re-cabling.
Recommended
ADAS Sensor ECUs (Radar, Lidar, Camera)
Modern radar and camera ECUs stream multi-gigabit raw data over Ethernet but still rely on CAN XL for command, configuration, and low-rate sensor fusion traffic. The TCAN6062-Q1's ±8 kV ESD on CANH/CANL and ±58 V bus fault tolerance handle the harsh automotive electrical environment around sensor mounting points. AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification and -40 °C to +125 °C operation cover behind-bumper thermal exposure. Designers use SIC mode to keep signal integrity clean even when the harness runs parallel to high-current power cables near the ECU connector.
Recommended
Powertrain and Chassis CAN Nodes
Engine, transmission, ABS, and steering ECUs need deterministic, EMC-robust communication in electrically noisy under-hood environments. The TCAN6062-Q1's high bus fault tolerance (±58 V) and integrated SIC signal conditioning keep CAN XL frames intact even with ignition-system transients on the harness. The standby mode enables the ECU to drop below 100 µA quiescent current during key-off, supporting stringent OEM parasitic-drain budgets. Pin-compatible upgrade path from TCAN1044A-Q1 lets OEMs transition the powertrain CAN bus from FD to XL on a known-good footprint.
Recommended
Body and Comfort Domain Controllers
Body-domain controllers consolidate BCM, lighting, HVAC, and access functions and increasingly need higher bus bandwidth to serve multiple sub-nets simultaneously. The TCAN6062-Q1 serves as the CAN XL gateway between the body-domain MCU and the in-cabin harness, leveraging SIC mode to maintain signal integrity on the dense wiring typical of body harnesses. Its small 8-pin SOIC footprint keeps board real estate minimal in space-constrained behind-dash modules. Standby mode aligns with the OEM requirement that body modules drop to <100 µA within seconds after key-off.
Recommended
Industrial CAN Networks Migrating to CAN XL
Industrial automation backbones are beginning to migrate from CAN FD to CAN XL to support higher payload rates on long factory-floor harnesses. The TCAN6062-Q1's ISO 11898-2:2024 Annex A compliance and SIC signal conditioning make it a forward-compatible choice for new industrial PLC and drive designs. Its industrial ambient temperature rating supports cabinet-mounted applications; for harsher industrial environments, designers should evaluate derating against the AEC-Q100 Grade 1 spec. Pin-compatibility with TCAN1044A-Q1 lets industrial designers re-use existing CAN FD layouts while transitioning firmware to CAN XL.
Recommended
Battery Management and EV Charging Communication
Battery management systems (BMS) and off-board EV chargers increasingly use CAN XL for high-rate cell telemetry and charge-state coordination. The TCAN6062-Q1's ±58 V bus fault tolerance and integrated SIC mode suit the long harnesses and high-noise environments typical of EV battery packs and DC fast-charging stations. AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification supports under-pack thermal exposure. Standby mode aligns with EV sleep/wake requirements (UN R155 cybersecurity, ISO 21434), allowing the BMS to power down the transceiver while still supporting wake-up on CAN activity.

Design Notes
Place the TCAN6062-Q1 close to the bus connector to minimize stub length. Keep the CANH/CANL traces as a tightly coupled differential pair with 100 Ω characteristic impedance; route over an unbroken reference ground plane. Per TI layout guidance, split termination (two 60 Ω resistors with 5 nF-100 nF capacitor to ground) is recommended with SIC mode to absorb ringing at the bus ends.
Decouple VCC with a 100 nF X7R ceramic close to the pin and a bulk 4.7 µF-10 µF tantalum or ceramic on the same rail. For the TCAN6062V-Q1 VIO variant, place a separate 100 nF decoupling cap adjacent to the VIO pin. Keep the digital VCC/VIO supply separate from the bus 5 V to reduce digital switching noise coupling onto the bus.
Avoid leaving the STB pin floating - it must be tied high or low with a defined logic level, or the device may enter an indeterminate state at power-up. The TXD pin expects PWM-decoded commands in SIC/FAST modes; a static logic level alone will not enable SIC mode. Verify the host MCU's CAN controller is CAN XL-capable before relying on 20 Mbps operation.
SIC mode reduces dominant-to-recessive ringing on the bus, but the TCAN6062-Q1 still requires proper termination. End-of-bus termination is 120 Ω across CANH/CANL; with SIC mode a 60 Ω / 60 Ω split with a center-tap capacitor improves the edge rate. Keep bus stub lengths under 1/10 of the bit time at 20 Mbps to prevent reflections.
The SOIC-8 (D0008B) package dissipates typically <200 mW under normal CAN traffic. No external heatsink is required. For under-hood applications near heat sources, verify junction temperature using the datasheet theta-JA and worst-case supply current; the AEC-Q100 Grade 1 limit of +125 °C ambient is rarely approached in practice.
