Automotive Interfaces (Can, Audio, Ethernet)

Automotive Interfaces (Can, Audio, Ethernet)

Automotive interfaces deliver sound and data throughout the car to combine connectivity with mobility. ADI’s portfolio of automotive interface products encompass communication signaling that utilizes both the CAN (controller area network) protocol and A²B^® (Automotive Audio Bus^®) technology. Isolated CAN with iCoupler^® digital isolation features integrated isoPower^®and signal-only transceivers in an SOIC form factor or a complete galvanically isolated µModule^® (micromodule) transceiver—both with options that support CAN FD (flexible data rate). ADI’s A²B-enabled digital audio systems distribute high fidelity audio along with control data, clock, and power over a single, unshielded, low cost twisted-pair wire. The A²B automotive interface delivers high fidelity audio while significantly reducing the weight of existing cable harnesses for improved vehicle fuel efficiency and a better, greener, more dynamic automotive experience. A²B devices meet all relevant automotive interface ESD, EMI, and EMC requirements, and are fully AEC-Q100 qualified.

Automotive Ethernet Connectivity

Analog Devices (ADI)’s automotive Ethernet connectivity solutions facilitate seamless connectivity to vehicle edge nodes, supplanting legacy low data rate protocols such as controller area network (CAN) and local interconnect network (LIN) interfaces. Our automotive Ethernet transceivers offer an advanced feature set and software designed to support diverse automotive applications, such as internal and external lighting, body and chassis domain control, in-vehicle networking and sensor actuator networking.

As automotive design evolves toward zonal architectures and software-defined vehicles, ADI’s next-generation Ethernet connectivity solutions are helping to drive this industry transformation. Our robust portfolio of 10BASE-T1S solutions includes Ethernet to Edge Bus (E²B™) transceivers that enable microcontroller-free edge nodes for deterministic low latency applications, as well as fully compliant MACPHY solutions.

Isolated Controller Area Network (CAN)

ADI isolated controller area network (CAN) transceivers provide the differential physical layer interface between the data layer link, hardware protocol (for example, embedded in some of ADI's Blackfin^® processors), and the physical wiring of the CAN bus. ADI's portfolio includes transceivers with integrated iCoupler^® and isoPower^® isolation, providing, fully isolated off-the-shelf CAN PHY's.

Non-Isolated Controller Area Network (CAN)

ADI nonisolated controller area network (CAN) transceivers provide the differential physical layer interface between the data layer link, hardware protocol (for example, embedded in some of ADI's Blackfin® processors), and the physical wiring of the CAN bus. ADI's portfolio includes transceivers with integrated iCoupler^® and isoPower^® isolation, providing, fully isolated off-the-shelf CAN PHY's.
