New automotive and industrial interface devices, integrated protection functions, and meet key standards

TI Korea (CEO Kent Tran) announced the launch of two CAN (controller area network) transceiver families that meet all industry standards for EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) required by automotive manufacturers in the U.S. and Europe.

The new TCAN1042 and TCAN1051 CAN transceiver families support high-level bus fault protection, fast CAN flexible data rates (FD), and the industry's shortest loop latency, providing optimal protection and high performance for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications.

This product meets the EMC standards of major international organizations. The 16 AEC-Q100 certified products satisfy the EMC requirements of automotive manufacturers in the US (SAE J2961) and Europe (IBEE-Zwickau), and the 8 industrial products meet CISPR 22, IEC 61000-4-6 (10V), IEC 61000-4-4 Standard A (4kV), and IEC 61000-4-3 (80MHz~2.7GHz, 100V/meter).

Also, remove the common mode choke. Using these products eliminates the need for external noise-suppressing common-mode choke components, thereby reducing bill of materials (BOM) costs and space in automotive and industrial designs.

It also features high-level bus fault protection and ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection. The high level of bus fault protection, reaching up to 70V, exceeds 12V, 24V, and 48V battery requirements and protects 24V DC industrial power supplies, thereby safeguarding CAN bus pins against DC voltage short circuits. Additionally, since it provides ESD protection down to -15kV, it eliminates the need for external TVS (transient voltage suppression) diodes, allowing for reduced board area and costs.

High CAN FD speeds of up to 5 Mbps improve communication speed and data transmission capacity between electronic control units and nodes on a CAN network, and provide the industry's best flexibility: achieving the industry's shortest loop latency of 175 ns allows for high margins in system design. This enables longer-distance networks and the addition of more nodes via the CAN bus.

Tools and support to reduce design time

TI provides an Evaluation Module (EVM) that allows engineers to evaluate the performance of the TCAN1042 and TCAN1051 product families more easily and quickly. The TCAN1042DEVM is currently available for purchase at the TI store and authorized distributors for $49.
