NXP^® Mantis HS-CAN Transceivers for In-Vehicle Networking

Tony Adamson, NXP^® Semiconductors, introduces NXP's next-generation Mantis family of HS-CAN transceivers, including Mantis (TJA1044T and TJA1057T) and Mantis GT (TJA1044GT and TJA1057GT) . The new Mantis transceivers target 12V automotive applications and deliver excellent EMC performance, with the high-end "GT" variant guaranteeing critical parameters for CAN FD (Flexible Data rate) networks. All members of the Mantis family are dual-sourced from locations in the Netherlands and Singapore to provide an agile, high-capacity and secure manufacturing base. Mantis takes a step forward by uniquely meeting today's EMC emission limits at 500 kbps without requiring a common-mode choke -- and with a choke, these same limits can be met at data rates of 2 Mbps in CAN FD networks. In addition, the devices' bus pins are tolerant to ±42 V, and ESD meets automotive requirements of 6 kV (IEC-61004-2) with typical standby currents of 10 µA. http://www.nxp.com/news/press-releases/2013/05/nxps-mantis-family-sets-new-standard-in-can-transceiver-market.html http://www.nxp.com/products/interface_and_connectivity/transceivers/can_transceivers/series/TJA1044T_TJA1057T.html
