CAN Tranceiver 3.3V
lollandster:
Hi,
I' working on a simple CAN transmitter for interfacing between various sensors and a datalogger (no car is involved). The design will be based around a STM32F103 (at least that is where I started).
My question is about voltage levels.
Most transceivers I've found need a 5V power supply. Since the STM32 is 3.3V, this isn't ideal. I've found several transceivers that claims to work on 3.3V, but all of them have a lower output voltage than the 5V transceivers.
Does anyone have experience with 3.3V based CAN transceivers? I'm thinking TCAN332G for my design.

The CAN Tx and Rx pins on the STM32F103 are 5V compatible so you can connect a 5V transceiver directly to them. Another option is to use a transceiver with a separate supply for the logical interface. Look for a Vio pin and connect your 3.3 V supply there.

That isn't the issue. I don't want to have a regulated 5V supply.
I did find some more information about 3.3V compatibility from Linear Technologies. It looks like it shouldn't be an issue.

Rerouter:
the issue is the bus active state, the can high line needs to go above 3.3V, so unless the device has an internal boost converter it needs to have a higher supply, you cant get away with using a simple bucket-brigade 3.3-5V regulator?, no complex inductor stuff involved. just a single capacitor and an IC.

So why do Texas Instrument, Linear Technology and Maxim Integrated sell 3.3V CAN transceivers? It clearly works. I'm just wondering if there are issues related to doing so.
