with the ISO 118980-2/5/6, 11898-2:2016 and the SAE
J2962-2 standards. The ATA6562, ATA6563, ATA6564,
ATA6565 and ATA6566 build the industry’s first
automotive Grade 0 qualified CAN/CAN FD transceiver
family with an ambient temperature rating of -40° to
150°C.
The family also provides a CAN PN transceiver including
a window watchdog. All devices in the family are approved
by major car manufacturers for use without the external
Common Mode Choke (CMC) that is required for most
CAN transceivers.
“Microchip has one of the strongest and most complete
CAN portfolios in the industry,” said Matthias Kaestner,
vice president of Microchip’s automotive division. “Our
transceivers ensure reliable communication in the harsh
automotive environment with less external components
and minimal board space, which leads to lower system
cost.”
All family members include wake-up capability via CAN
bus with dual wake-up pattern according to ISO11898-
2:2016. A modern vehicle contains more than 70
Electronic Control Units (ECUs) with CAN interface. This
feature avoids unwanted power-up sequences, leading
to significant energy savings and reduced emissions.

Analog Devices’ Versatile 50 Mbps RS-485
Transceiver Series Protects Communication in
Harsh Environments
Analog Devices, Inc. today announced the availability
of two 50 Mbps RS-485/RS-422 transceivers for use
in harsh environments including industrial automation,
motor control, military and avionics. The ADM3065E
and ADM3066E transceivers combine IEC61000-4-2
Level 4 electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, high
speed data communication, support of 1.8 VIO logic
(ADM3066E), and an industrial temperature range all in
small space saving packages. These features provide
design flexibility while simplifying implementation
and improving performance of standard RS-485
communication links. System level IEC ESD threats
have discharge levels with much higher peak currents
and voltages compared to HBM (Human Body Model)
ESD. The ADM306xE’s IEC ESD level protection
provides a robust solution for customers operating
in industrial environments. With the receiver failsafe,
applications are immune to common real world faults
such as incorrect wiring which cause opens or shorts.
A receiver fail-safe guarantees a known state on the
data bus. Glitch free hot swap capability enables error-
free data operation when a circuit board is inserted into
a powered back-plane to ensure motors are properly
controlled, meters correctly read and machinery runs
smoothly with valid data. The RS-485 transceivers also
comply with several widely used protocols such as
Profibus, BACnet and Modbus to support a variety of
network topologies.
The ADM306xE transceiver series operates with a 3 V to
