with the ISO 118980-2/5/6, 11898-2:2016 and the SAE J2962-2 standards. The ATA6562, ATA6563, ATA6564, ATA6565 and ATA6566 build the industry’s first automotive Grade 0 qualified CAN/CAN FD transceiver family with an ambient temperature rating of -40° to 150°C. The family also provides a CAN PN transceiver including a window watchdog. All devices in the family are approved by major car manufacturers for use without the external Common Mode Choke (CMC) that is required for most CAN transceivers. “Microchip has one of the strongest and most complete CAN portfolios in the industry,” said Matthias Kaestner, vice president of Microchip’s automotive division. “Our transceivers ensure reliable communication in the harsh automotive environment with less external components and minimal board space, which leads to lower system cost.” All family members include wake-up capability via CAN bus with dual wake-up pattern according to ISO11898- 2:2016. A modern vehicle contains more than 70 Electronic Control Units (ECUs) with CAN interface. This feature avoids unwanted power-up sequences, leading to significant energy savings and reduced emissions. For more information about the ATA65XX family, visit: www.microchip.com/CAN Development Support The ATA65XX family is supported by the ATA656X-EK development kit, ATAB6570A development kit and the ATA6563 click board, all of which are available today. Pricing and Availability Microchip provides the new family in SO 8/14 and DFN8/14 packages with wettable flanks, ready for automatic optical solder-joint inspection.

Analog Devices’ Versatile 50 Mbps RS-485 Transceiver Series Protects Communication in Harsh Environments Analog Devices, Inc. today announced the availability of two 50 Mbps RS-485/RS-422 transceivers for use in harsh environments including industrial automation, motor control, military and avionics. The ADM3065E and ADM3066E transceivers combine IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, high speed data communication, support of 1.8 VIO logic (ADM3066E), and an industrial temperature range all in small space saving packages. These features provide design flexibility while simplifying implementation and improving performance of standard RS-485 communication links. System level IEC ESD threats have discharge levels with much higher peak currents and voltages compared to HBM (Human Body Model) ESD. The ADM306xE’s IEC ESD level protection provides a robust solution for customers operating in industrial environments. With the receiver failsafe, applications are immune to common real world faults such as incorrect wiring which cause opens or shorts. A receiver fail-safe guarantees a known state on the data bus. Glitch free hot swap capability enables error- free data operation when a circuit board is inserted into a powered back-plane to ensure motors are properly controlled, meters correctly read and machinery runs smoothly with valid data. The RS-485 transceivers also comply with several widely used protocols such as Profibus, BACnet and Modbus to support a variety of network topologies. The ADM306xE transceiver series operates with a 3 V to
