ON Semiconductor has introduced two new integrated transceiver devices for use in local interconnect network (LIN) and control area network (CAN) designs in automotive and industrial applications. Both the NCV7425 LIN+LDO transceiver and NVC7441 dual CAN transceiver offer space saving and cost-effective solution for automotive 'convenience' applications as well as LIN and CAN based industrial designs.
The NCV7425 features integrated voltage regulator and reset functionality. The LIN version 2.x /SAE J2602 device interfaces between a LIN protocol controller and the physical bus, and supports transmission rates of up to 20 kilobits per second (kb/s). Available in 3.3 volt (V) and 5 V output options, the NCV7425 supports loads up to 150 milliamperes (mA) and is compliant with the latest automotive standards. An integrated slope control function ensures electromagnetic interference (EMI) compatibility.
Jim Alvernez, Director, Automotive Product Division, ON Semiconductor said, "The use of LIN and CAN networks has allowed the cost effective implementation of a wide variety of functions in modern vehicles, such as mirror adjustment, seat adjustment, sunroof opening/closing and door lock mechanisms. By selecting the feature rich NCV7425 and NCV7441 transceiver devices, engineers will be able to develop automotive comfort systems that require less board space, save power, and have considerably lower overall component count."
The NCV7425 is offered in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 WB EP package, and is priced at USD0.84 per unit in 1,500 unit quantities. The NCV7441 is offered in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant SOIC-14 package, and is priced at USD0.95 in 3,000 unit quantities.
