NXP Semiconductors CAN Signal Improvement

NXP's CAN SIC technology is a highly robust and high-performance solution, enabling both much higher bit rates, while delivering the reliability of communication that conventional transceivers have been delivering for years. NXP's solution, as implemented in the TJA146x CAN SIC transceiver series, is based on a new and highly symmetrical transmitter, which is both reliable and allows for tighter control over the transmitted signal. This results in greatly improved ringing performance and shorter bit times, unlocking increased topology freedom and CAN communication up to 8Mbps.

The TJA146x transceiver is a pin-to-pin and drop-in replacement for existing CAN solutions. As it fulfills the ISO 11898-2:1029 specifications, it allows simple upgrades for existing designs. Besides that, the TJA146x series fully embody the CiA 601-4 2.0.0 specification.
