Texas Instruments Inc.'s ISO1050 isolated controller-area network (CAN) transceiver combines TI’s innovative CAN and isolation technologies to reduce required components by at least half, and simplifies board design in industrial automation, motor control and medical equipment. Loop time is reduced by 34 percent; system-level power consumption is reduced by 38 percent compared to isolated optocoupler solutions; and board space, by 30 percent. Additionally, the ultra-low electromagnetic emissions (EME) support sensitive analog applications, such as industrial sensors. The device provides galvanic isolation of up to 4kV and life expectancy of more than 25 years.
