SLLU312A July 2019 – May 2022 TCAN4550-Q1
The TCAN4550-Q1 has a temperature monitor located by two components that can cause thermal issues; VCCOUT LDO and CAN transceiver. This is a device protection mechanism. When TSD temperature is reached, the device enters the TSD protected state as shown in Figure 3-6. In this state, the VCCOUT LDO is turned off and the CAN transceiver is disabled. This helps mitigate bus communication fault, shown as 2, and VCCOUT issues, shown as 9, in Figure 3-5 and is considered safety mechanism SM-05. Undervoltage lock out prevents operation of the device and communication with the MCU and the CAN FD Bus when there is insufficient power on VSUP, VIO or VCCOUT.
