CAN Transceiver features simplified design and layout.
Press Release Summary:
Model ISO1050 combines CAN and isolation technologies in 6.1 mm wide, 8-pin DUB package with minimized EM emissions to support sensitive analog applications, such as industrial sensors. Single-chip transceiver includes isolators that provide galvanic isolation up to 4,000 V. Unit meets requirements for ISO 11898 standard as well as for DeviceNet and CAN timing and offers temperature range from -55 to +105°C, suitable for many industrial applications.
Original Press Release:
Texas Instruments Simplifies System Design and Layout with Industry's First Isolated CAN Transceiver
Transceiver cuts number of required components by at least half in industrial applications
DALLAS, July 13 / / - Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today introduced the first isolated controller-area network (CAN) transceiver. The ISO1050 combines TI's innovative CAN and isolation technologies to reduce required components by at least half, and simplifies board design in industrial automation, motor control and medical equipment. Loop time is reduced by 34 percent, giving designers flexibility to use longer network cables than can be used with other common isolated CAN solutions. For product details or to order samples, see: www.ti.com/iso1050-pr.
The ISO1050 reduces system-level power consumption by 38 percent compared to isolated optocoupler solutions. In high-voltage applications where minimum clearance is required, the 6.1 mm wide-body package reduces board space by 30 percent. Additionally, the ultra-low electromagnetic emissions (EME) support sensitive analog applications, such as industrial sensors.
"Customers are being challenged to design more complex industrial systems in smaller spaces," said Art George, senior vice president of TI's High-Performance Analog business unit. "The ISO1050 single-chip isolated CAN solution eases system design and allows engineers to reduce component count and speed time-to-market."
Additional features and benefits
- The capacitive technology in TI isolators provides galvanic isolation
of up to 4000 V and life expectancy of more than 25 years
- Meets requirements for the ISO 11898 standard
- Meets DeviceNet and CAN timing requirements
- Wide temperature range from -55C to 105C accommodates the requirements
of a variety of industrial applications
- Customers can speed time-to-market with compatible TI devices
including power isolation (DCR010505), and the Piccolo(TM), Delfino(TM)
and Stellaris® microcontroller series
Availability and pricing
The ISO1050 is available now in an 8-pin DUB package, and the 16-pin SOIC package will be available in late 4Q09. Suggested resale pricing is $1.55 in 1,000-piece quantities.
