Freescale Introduces Single-Wire CAN Transceivers for Automotive Networks and Body Applications; Eight-pin and 14-pin MC33897 Devices Designed to Provide Automotive Designers Increased Flexibility While Helping Reduce Costs
Freescale is offering single-wire CAN transceivers that boast 8- and 14-pin compatibility. Advanced automotive networks and applications such as power windows and door locks, seat and mirror controls and internal digital temperature gauges do not require high-speed data transmission.

In cost-sensitive applications, single-wire CAN solutions provide an adequate speed and cost alternative. Freescale’s MC33897 single-wire CAN transceivers allow the popular CAN protocol to be transmitted over one wire rather than two.
Dual-wire CAN transceivers are used in high- and medium-speed applications with the primary goal of data transfer. The extra power dual-wire CAN transceivers provide is wasted in these applications and can unnecessarily increase the cost of the system.
