AMIS-4168x Fault Tolerant CAN Transceiver
Product Description
Key Features
Important Characteristics
Note: The parameters VCM-peak and VCM-step guarantee low electromagnetic emission.
Support for 3.3V and 5V CAN controller interface
3.3V interface: AMIS-41683
5V interface: AMIS-41682
Fully compatible with the “ISO 11898-3” standard
Optimized for in-car low-speed communication
Baud rate up to 125kBaud
Up to 32 nodes can be connected
Very low electromagnetic emission (EME) due
to built-in slope control function and a very
good matching of the CANL and CANH bus
outputs
Fully integrated receiver filters
Permanent dominant monitoring of transmit
data input
Differential receiver with wide common-mode
range for low electromagnetic susceptibility
(EMS) in normal- and low-power modes
ESD protection guaranteed up to +/-8KV
Transmit data (TxD) dominant time-out function
Management in case of bus failure
In the event of bus failures, automatic switching
to single-wire mode, even when the CANH bus
wire is short circuited to Vcc
The device will automatically reset to differential
mode if the bus failure is removed
During failure modes there is full wake-up capability
Protection
Short-circuit proof to battery and ground
Thermal protection
The bus lines are protected against transients in
an automotive environment
An un-powered node does not disturb the bus lines
Support for low power modes
Low current sleep and standby mode with wake-up
via the bus lines
Power-on-reset flag on the output
Two-edge sensitive wake-up input signal via pin SLEEP
The AMIS-41682 and the AMIS-41683 are fault tolerant
CAN transceivers with 5V and 3.3V compatible
interfaces to the CAN controller. The transceivers work
as the interface between the CAN protocol controller
and the physical wires of the CAN bus. They are
primarily intended for low speed applications, up to
125kBaud, in passenger cars. The devices provide
differential transmit capability to the CAN bus and
differential receive capability to the CAN controller.
To reduce EME, the rise and fall slope are limited.
Excellent matching of CANL and CANH output stages
that allow the use of an unshielded twisted pair or a
parallel pair of wires for the bus lines.
The symmetry of the outputs is guaranteed through the
parameters VCM-peak and VCM-step.
The failure detection logic automatically selects a
suitable transmission mode, differential or single-wire
transmission.
These products consolidate the expertise of AMIS in car
multiplex transceivers and adds to the growing line of
transceiver products currently available: AMIS-30522
(VAN), AMIS-30660 and AMIS-30633 (CAN high-speed
5V and 3.3V), AMIS-30600 (LIN), and AMIS-42665 (CAN
high-speed 5V - low power, sleep and Vsplit circuit).
