AMI Semiconductor Offers AMIS-42665 CAN Transceiver IC

AMI Semiconductor Inc. (AMIS, Pocatello, ID), a manufacturer of application-specific integrated circuits and structured digital products, announced its new AMIS-42665 next-generation controller area network (CAN) transceiver IC for high-speed, in-vehicle networking. The AMIS-42665 IC combines operation to 1 Mbaud with a low-current standby mode and a bus-initiated wake-up capability.

Suitable for both 12 V and 24 V automotive applications, the AMIS-42665 is fully compliant with both the ISO 11898-2 and ISO 11898-5 standard, and is suitable for vehicle body and comfort control functions ranging from electric windows to climate control. High tolerance to electromagnetic interference and an electrostatic discharge rating of &pluamn;8 kV human body model eliminates the need for additional filtering and protection, while a low standby current helps designers to meet power targets when the vehicle is idle. Remote wake-up can be initiated either locally or via the CAN bus, depending on specific application requirements.

The AMIS-42665 CAN transceivers are priced at $0.92 each in quantities in excess of 5,000 units.
