Active12,641 in stock

Overview

The ATA6561-GBQW-N is a high-speed CAN transceiver that provides an interface between a Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol controller and the physical two-wire CAN bus. It supports data rates up to 5Mbps for CAN FD (Flexible Data-rate) and is designed for high-reliability environments with a wide operating temperature range from -40 to 150 degrees Celsius.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver features ultra-low power consumption in standby mode (12uA) and includes integrated protection against short circuits, overtemperature, and automotive transients. It offers excellent ESD handling and is 5V tolerant with a wide supply voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V.

Applications

Automotive Networking
Ideal for body control modules and vehicle gateways requiring CAN FD communication and AEC-Q100 qualification.
Industrial Automation
Used in PLC-to-sensor networking and factory floor communication where robustness against electrical transients is critical.
Battery Management Systems
Connects battery cell monitoring units to central controllers in electric vehicle and energy storage applications.
