3.3V/5V 4Mbps CAN Transceiver with ±60V Fault Protection

February 28, 2015 By admin Comments are Off

Linear Technology Corporationintroduces the LTC2875, an exceptionally rugged, high-voltage tolerant CAN (controller area network) transceiver to greatly reduce field failures without the need of costly external protection devices. In practical CAN systems, installation cross-wiring faults, ground voltage faults or lightning induced surge voltages can cause overvoltage conditions that exceed absolute maximum ratings of typical transceivers. The LTC2875 features ±60V overvoltage fault and ±25kV HBM ESD protection on the data transmission lines, protecting bus pins during operation and shutdown. Whether a circuit is transmitting, receiving or powered off, the LTC2875 tolerates any voltage within ±60V without damage, increasing the robustness of typical CAN networks.

CAN bus systems are becoming increasingly popular in industrial controls, instrumentation networks and automotive electronics. The CAN bus has a well-defined protocol stack, with support for standalone controllers, FPGAs and ASICs, making implementation easier over alternative interfaces, such as RS485. The LTC2875 provides the flexibility to be powered from a 3.3V or 5V rail, which is very useful in industrial applications where a 5V rail may not be present.

In addition to the high fault and ESD protection, the device features a low electromagnetic emission (EME) driver with a transmit data (TXD) dominant timer to prevent faulty controllers from clamping the bus, as well as a high electromagnetic immunity (EMI) receiver with an extended ±36V common mode range to enable operation in electrically noisy environments and in the presence of ground loops. The LTC2875 features a high speed data rate of 4Mbps with an adjustable slew rate for data rates as low as 1kbps. A shutdown mode brings all of the LTC2875’s outputs to high impedance and reduces power consumption to 1µA.

The LTC2875 is offered in commercial, industrial, automotive and military (-55 to 125 degrees C) temperature grades and is available in 3mm x 3mm DFN-8 and SO-8 packages, with industry-standard pinouts. Pricing starts at $1.72 each in 1,000 piece quantities.
