Transceivers

BECAUSE OF the ever-increasing demand for information exchange in modern vehicles, the

automotive industry implemented data communication networks using the CAN (Controller Area Network)

and LIN (Local Interconnect Network) protocol-based bus systems.

Transceivers are the link between the protocol unit (the controller) and the physical transmission

medium (bus cable). In addition to their driving function (reception/transmission of signals from the

bus to ECU) the transceivers also provide a wide range of protective and fault-diagnosis functions.

Infineon offers an extensive product range of transceivers and integrated system-basis chip solutions

for CAN high-speed, CAN low-speed and LIN protocols, featuring the best ESD and EMC combined

performances of the market.
