CAN transceiver isolates signals to 5 kV rms, handles temperatures to 125℃

摘要

Signal isolation-for those who know what it is-is a wide-ranging, often-mandatory problem-solver; for those who don't, it's a magical function, which, they hope, can somehow save their design. Either camp will be able to use the ADM3054 digital CAN (controller-area-network) transceiver from Analog Devices. It provides isolation for digital signals as high as 5 kV rms and operates at temperatures of -40 to +125℃. Target applications are automotive and industrial designs requiring isolation for either user safety or signal integrity, including ground loops and floating signals.
