The TCAN285xx devices are very similar to the TCAN284xx devices except that the devices support CAN-SIC instead of classical CAN. There is not much difference in how to setup either device as the key difference between CAN and CAN-SIC is that in standard CAN communication there is a dominant (driven) state and a recessive (non-driven) state – however in CAN-SIC the recessive state is driven during the signal transition. The benefit of driving during the dominant to recessive transition is that this can reduce ringing caused by parasitic capacitances and inductances on the bus which can improve overall signal integrity. In general, the best CAN bus performance can be using CAN-SIC transceivers which are supported by the TCAN285xx line of devices.
