Isolated CAN transceiver is industry’s first

Isolated CAN transceiver is industry’s first

Said to be the first isolated controller-area network (CAN) transceiver, the ISO1050 reduces component count and simplifies board design for industrial automation, motor control, and medical equipment applications. The chip’s capacitive technology isolator provides galvanic isolation of up to 4,000 V and life expectancy of more than 25 years. The chip has a wide temperature range of –55° to 105°C.

The device reduces system-level power consumption by 38%, compared to isolated optocoupler solutions. Ultralow electromagnetic emissions support sensitive analog applications. In HV applications where minimum clearance is required, the 6.1-mm wide-body package reduces board space by 30%. It comes in an 8-pin DUB package, and a 16-pin SOIC will be available.
