TLE9371SJ | Infineon’s TLE937x family with up to 8MB/s flexible data rate

Overview

CAN Signal Improvement transceivers actively improve the signal integrity in a network, reducing signal ringing effects and help to operate in larger topologies at bit rates significantly faster than before. The CAN FD SIC parts can replace existing CAN (FD) transceivers, making the adoption of this technology straight-forward and without significant changes in the application. Even more, they are backward compatible to existing CAN transceiver solutions.

Summary of Features

Highly accurate transmitter allowing precise control of CANH and CANL signals, active drive of recessive edge and active signal improvement
Ringing in CAN networks significantly reduced, star-based typologies with higher data rates possible
Increases maximum achievable CAN speed to 8MB/s
Increased EMC performance
Guaranteed CAN FD protocol operations under all conditions incl. error handling and arbitration scenarios
Fully interoperable with CAN XL protocol

Benefits

Connection of more nodes with more functions possible
Entry for more complex applications e.g. autonomous driving with security requirements, new comfort features in-body applications
Less cable with decreased weight & costs; more positive CO2 balance, no cable variants for optional nodes, decreased No. of connectors
