TEP0001-01

Overview

The Trenz Electronic TEP0001-01 is an industrial-grade dual CAN FD transceiver module designed for the Digilent Pmod interface. It integrates two Texas Instruments TCAN337G transceivers to provide independent CAN0 and CAN1 channels. The module supports data rates up to 5 Mbit/s and complies with ISO 11898-2 standards. It operates on a single 3.3V supply voltage within a range of 3V to 3.6V. Physical dimensions are 54 mm × 20.5 mm, with a PCB thickness of 1.6mm. The operational temperature range extends from -40°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual CAN FD PHY implementation supporting independent bus communication
• Integrated ESD protection rated at 12 kV IEC-61000-4-2 contact discharge
• Bus pin fault protection capability of ±14 V
• Pmod interface compatibility with multiple physical connection options

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring redundant or multi-channel CAN communication
• Automotive testing and development environments utilizing Pmod baseboards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific hardware revision printed on the PCB next to the model number before procurement. Confirm that the required operating environment falls within the specified temperature and voltage limits. Ensure the host system provides a stable 3.3V supply capable of handling peak current demands during dominant states with bus faults.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a compact solution for dual-channel CAN FD connectivity via a standard Pmod header is required. It is suitable for designs needing integrated fault protection and ESD immunity without external components. Consider the physical height constraints as connectors extend approximately 9.5mm from the PCB surface.
