Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated
1/1 Transceiver, Isolated CANbus 16-SOIC
NRND800 in stock

Overview

The MAX14878AWE+T is a high-speed, galvanically isolated CAN transceiver designed to provide robust communication in harsh environments. It supports data rates up to 1Mbps and features integrated isolation that protects sensitive controller-side circuitry from high-voltage transients on the network bus.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver offers a wide 1.71V to 5.5V logic-side supply range, making it compatible with both low-voltage MCUs and standard 5V controllers. It includes 125mV receiver hysteresis for improved noise immunity and operates across a wide temperature range of -40degC to 125degC.

Applications

Industrial Automation
Reliable fieldbus communication in factory environments with high electromagnetic interference.
EV Charging Stations
Isolated CAN interface for communication between charging infrastructure and vehicle battery management systems.
HVAC Systems
Networked climate control sensors and actuators requiring isolation from motor noise.
