Reference design for wireless optical comms
A new technology from Texas Instruments dramatically cuts the cost and complexity of bringing the high-speed datarates of optical networking to end users.
The SN65HVD251 is not limited to DSPs, and it can also be used with stand-alone CAN controllers and microcontrollers with CAN controllers.
Intended for applications employing the CAN high-speed serial communication physical layer in accordance with the ISO11898 standard, the device provides differential transmit capability to the bus and differential receive capability to a CAN controller at speeds up to 1Mbit/s.
Designed for operation in especially noisy industrial environments, the SN65HVD251 features 12kV ESD protection, a sixfold reliability enhancement over existing solutions; crosswire, overvoltage and loss of ground protection of +/-36V; wide common-mode and high-impedance in off-state for continuous operation.
The transceiver interfaces the single-ended CAN controller with the differential CANbus found in industrial, building automation, and automotive applications.
Applications include CAN databuses, DeviceNet databuses, smart distributed systems (SDS), SAEJ1939 standard databus interface, and wired or dataline driver.
The SN65HVD251 family of products are available now from TI and its authorised distributors in 8-pin packaging at $0.82 in quantities of 1000.
