The MAX13051ASA is a high-performance automotive-grade CAN transceiver from Maxim Integrated, designed to facilitate communication in vehicle networks. It is built to interface between a Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol controller and the physical two-wire CAN bus. This device is particularly suitable for automotive applications and other CAN bus-related operations where high-speed data transmission and reception are required.

Key Features

• High-Speed Operation: The MAX13051ASA supports the ISO 11898 standard for high-speed (up to 1Mbps) CAN communications, ideal for real-time applications.
• Thermal Protection: With an integrated thermal shutdown feature, this transceiver ensures protection against excessive power dissipation and prevents damage due to high temperatures.
• Low Power Consumption: It is designed with low-current operation in mind, making it a power-efficient solution for automotive networks.
• Robust ESD Protection: The device offers ±15kV ESD protection on the CAN bus pins, safeguarding against electrostatic discharge events.
• Differential Receiver with High Common-Mode Range: This allows for reliable data reception in the presence of common-mode voltage variations, which are typical in automotive environments.
• Standby Mode: The MAX13051ASA includes a standby mode with wake-up capability, which reduces power consumption when the CAN bus is idle.

Applications

The MAX13051ASA is versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, particularly in the automotive sector. These include but are not limited to:

• Automotive Networks
• Body Control Modules
