CAN transceiver meets the standards
GIFT compliance means the AMIS-42665 CAN transceiver meets the standards and specifications needed to ensure true interoperability with similar devices from other semiconductor manufacturers.
AMI Semiconductor has complemented its existing range of GIFT compliant single-chip transceivers with the introduction of its AMIS-42665 high-speed (up to 1Mbit/s), low power device The device has been fully verified and certified to the requirements of the generalised interoperable (GIFT) CAN transceiver specification

Clock generator saves space in portable designs
AMI Semiconductor (AMIS) has introduced a low-cost clock generator that will save space and reduce component count in high-performance MPEG-2 applications such as DVD players.
GIFT compliance means that the AMIS-42665 CAN transceiver meets the standards and specifications needed to ensure true interoperability with similar devices from other semiconductor manufacturers.
Fully compliant with the ISO11898-2 and -5 standard as well as with the SAE J2284 standard, the AMIS-42665 CAN transceiver provides the interface between a controller area network (CAN) and the physical bus.
The device is suitable for use in both 12 and 24V systems in automotive and industrial applications.
GIFT compliance plus pin-and-function compatibility with existing standard parts makes it ideal for both new designs and for use as a drop-in replacement for existing applications using transceiver modules from other suppliers.
The AMIS-42665 features very low-power operation, and due to the wide common-mode voltage range of its receiver inputs, is able to withstand high levels of electromagnetic interference.
Similarly, extremely low electromagnetic emissions are achieved by the excellent matching of output signals, removing the need for a common-mode choke.
The device operates with an extremely low standby current of less than 10uA with "wake-up" via the bus.
Further key features of the AMIS-42665 include a power down mode in which the transmitter is disabled, no disturbance of the bus lines with an un-powered node and ideal passive behaviour when supply voltage is removed.
The AMI-42665 has an operating temperature range of -40 to +125C and incorporates a range of safety features that include thermal protection and bus pins that are protected against the transients found in automotive environments.
The device is also short circuit proof to supply voltage and ground.
The GIFT compliant AMI-42665 is available in a "green" SOIC 150 8-pin package and is priced, for budgetary purposes, at $0.81 per unit in quantities of 5000 units.
