AMIS-42770 Dual High-Speed CAN Transceiver
For Long Networks
Data Sheet
1. 0 General Description
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial communication protocol, which supports distributed real-time control and multiplexing
with high safety level. Typical applications of CAN-based networks can be found in automotive and industrial environments.
The AMIS-42770 Dual-CAN transceiver is the interface between up to two physical bus lines and the protocol controller and will be
used for serial data interchange between different electronic units at more than one bus line. It can be used for both 12V and 24V
systems.
The circuit consists of following blocks:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Two differential line transmitters
Two differential line receivers
Interface to the CAN protocol handler
Interface to expand the number of CAN busses
Logic block including repeater function and the feedback suppression
Thermal shutdown circuit (TSD)
Due to the wide common-mode voltage range of the receiver inputs, the AMIS-42770 is able to reach outstanding levels of
electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS). Similarly, extremely low electromagnetic emission (EME) is achieved by the excellent
matching of the output signals.
