Analog Devices Introduces Industry's First Fully Isolated Industrial CAN Transceivers

“CAN was originally developed for the automotive industry, but has become widely adopted in industrial and instrumentation systems, including factory automation, building controls, wind turbines, and elevators, in which communication with and management of multiple sub-systems is essential,” said Mike Britchfield, vice president, Industrial and Instrumentation Group, Analog Devices. “Targeted specifically for the industrial and instrumentation market, the ADM3052 and ADM3053 are the first transceivers to combine signal and power isolation in a single device for Devicenet, CANOpen, and other CAN-based communications applications.”

The ADM3052 and ADM3053 extend ADI’s portfolio of isolated bus communication products that includes similar products for other popular industrial and instrumentation protocols, including RS-485/422, RS-232, USB (universal serial bus) and I2C. These isolated communication products integrate ADI’s transceiver devices with iCoupler digital isolation technology and isoPower integrated, isolated dc-to-dc converters and have already helped simplify customer product designs by integrating signal and power isolation into single, small-form-factor packages. Extending this same level of integration to the CAN-bus standard, the ADM3052 and ADM3053 transceivers deliver the reliability, performance, and control required by today’s sophisticated industrial equipment and at the same time reduce design complexity and help customers accelerate their time to market.
