FlexRay transceiver handles 125°C

The AS8221 FlexRay Standard Transceiver is certified to FlexRay Standard V2.1 Rev B. It interfaces between digital logic and copper cable transmission for the next generation of automotive networks with transmission rates of up to 10 Mbits/s, 20 times the speed of unshielded twisted copper cables used today.

The chip is suitable for automotive applications with temperatures ranging from –40° to 125°C and is available in a RoHS-compliant SSOP20 package. The IC takes a total supply current of 125 µA in low-power mode and 47 mA in high-power mode and has automatic thermal-shutdown protection. ($4.20 ea/1,000 — samples available now.)
