Innovative CAN FD System Basis Chip Solutions
Microchip Technology is proud to introduce its latest generation of ATA650x CAN FD System Basis Chips (SBCs), designed specifically for applications where space is at a premium. As modern industries continue to evolve, the demand for reliable wired connectivity solutions is greater than ever, making these cutting-edge chips a timely addition to our product lineup.
The Need for Enhanced Connectivity
Challenges in Automotive and Industrial Sectors
The automotive and industrial markets are experiencing an unprecedented convergence of technology, resulting in more connected devices than in the past. This increase necessitates the development of components that can deliver higher bandwidth and lower latency while maintaining robust security standards. In this fast-paced environment, effective communication technologies are vital for ensuring data is transmitted and processed seamlessly.
Microchip's Response to Demand
In response to the growing need for advanced connectivity, Microchip’s ATA650x SBCs feature a highly integrated high-speed CAN FD transceiver along with a 5V Low-Drop Voltage Regulator (LDO). Available in compact 8-, 10-, and 14-pin packages, our SBCs are meticulously engineered to meet the needs of today's complex applications.
Compact Design Meets High Performance
The ATA650x chips stand out due to their incredibly small footprint, measuring as little as 2 mm x 3 mm for the VDFN8 package. With data transmission and reception capabilities of up to 5 Mbps, they provide the performance necessary for high-demand scenarios without sacrificing space.
Energy Efficiency and Performance
Low Power Consumption
Designed with efficiency in mind, the ATA650x SBCs consume a mere 15 ?A during sleep mode, making them an excellent choice for power-constrained applications. These innovations reduce the overall current consumption needed for automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs), propelling forward humankind's quest for greener technology solutions.
Advanced Safety Features
Safety and reliability are paramount in the design of the ATA650x. Each chip is equipped with fail-safe mechanisms and diagnostic functions to ensure dependable bus communication in advanced networks, particularly in unpredictable environments. Engineered to endure Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and maintain Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), these components are ready for the rigors of harsh operational conditions.
Functional Safety Ready
The integration of functional safety features prepares the ATA650x series for customers pursuing ISO 26262 safety certification, along with the necessary ASIL level. Furthermore, these components are AEC-Q100 qualified with a Grade 0 rating, allowing for operation in extreme temperature ranges from -40°C to +150°C.
