Microchip Technology's ATA6660-TAPY 19

The ATA6660-TAPY 19 is a high-performance, stand-alone CAN (Controller Area Network) transceiver that serves as a bridge between a CAN protocol controller and the physical two-wire CAN bus. This device is designed by Microchip Technology, a leading provider of smart, connected, and secure embedded control solutions.

Featuring a V<sub>CC operating range from 4.5V to 5.5V, this transceiver is optimized for high-speed automotive networking applications, capable of transfer rates up to 1 Mbps. It is compliant with the ISO 11898-2 standard, ensuring reliable communication in the CAN network. Furthermore, the ATA6660-TAPY 19 is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the automotive environment, boasting excellent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) performance.

This transceiver also includes features such as a battery supply pin with very low current consumption in power-down mode, making it suitable for use in systems that require a permanent connection to the battery. The device's remote wake-up capability via the CAN bus is an essential feature for modern automotive applications, where low power consumption during standby is a critical requirement.

The ATA6660-TAPY 19 comes in a small 8-pin TSSOP package, offering a compact solution for space-constrained applications. It is designed to operate over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, ensuring reliable performance in a wide range of operating conditions.

With its robust design and advanced features, the ATA6660-TAPY 19 from Microchip Technology is an ideal choice for automotive applications, industrial automation systems, and any other systems requiring a reliable CAN communication interface.
