TLE6250GV33XUMA TLE6250GV33 Automotive CAN Transceiver IC 3.3V SOP8 High Speed Differential Mode Data Transmission

Introduction

The TLE6250GV33 is a high speed CAN transceiver IC that operates at 3.3V and comes in a SOP8 package. It is designed for automotive and industrial applications that require fast and reliable data transmission over a differential bus. The IC is compatible with the ISO/DIS 11898 standard and can work in both 12V and 24V systems. The IC also features an integrated wake-up function, a low power mode, and a thermal shutdown protection.

In this review, we will evaluate the performance, features, and applications of the TLE6250GV33, and compare it with some of its competitors in the market.

Performance

The TLE6250GV33 is optimized for data rates up to 1 Mbps, which is sufficient for most CAN applications. The IC has a low electromagnetic emission (EME) and a high electromagnetic immunity (EMI), which makes it suitable for harsh environments. The IC also has a low power consumption, which is important for battery-operated devices. The IC can enter a low power mode when the bus is idle, and can be woken up by a remote signal or a local wake-up request. The IC also has a thermal shutdown protection, which prevents damage from overheating.

The TLE6250GV33 has a differential receiver and driver, which enables it to transmit and receive data over a twisted pair of wires. The IC has a high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR), which means it can filter out noise and interference from the bus. The IC also has a short circuit protection, which protects the IC and the bus from damage in case of a short circuit. The IC also has a bus pin protection, which protects the IC from transients and surges on the bus.

Features

The TLE6250GV33 has several features that make it a versatile and reliable CAN transceiver. Some of the main features are:

- Compatible with ISO/DIS 11898 standard: The IC conforms to the international standard for CAN communication, which ensures interoperability and compatibility with other CAN devices.

- Supports 12V and 24V systems: The IC can work in both 12V and 24V systems, which covers a wide range of automotive and industrial applications.

- Integrated wake-up function via bus: The IC can detect a wake-up signal on the bus, which allows it to resume normal operation from a low power mode. This feature can save battery life and reduce system complexity.

- Low power mode with remote wake-up capability: The IC can enter a low power mode when the bus is idle, which reduces the power consumption to a minimum. The IC can also be woken up by a remote signal from another CAN device, which enables a flexible and efficient power management.

- Thermal shutdown protection: The IC has a built-in temperature sensor, which monitors the IC temperature and shuts down the IC if it exceeds a certain threshold. This feature prevents damage from overheating and improves the reliability of the IC.

- Short circuit protection: The IC has a current limiting circuit, which limits the output current in case of a short circuit on the bus. This feature protects the IC and the bus from damage and ensures a safe operation.

- Bus pins protected against transients: The IC has a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode, which clamps the voltage on the bus pins to a safe level in case of a transient or a surge. This feature protects the IC from damage and improves the robustness of the IC.

Applications

The TLE6250GV33 can be used in various automotive and industrial applications that require high speed and robust data communication over a CAN bus. Some examples are:

- Engine management systems: The IC can be used to connect the engine control unit (ECU) with the sensors and actuators that monitor and control the engine performance, such as the fuel injection, ignition, and emission systems.

- Transmission control systems: The IC can be used to connect the transmission control unit (TCU) with the sensors and actuators that monitor and control the transmission operation, such as the gear shifting, clutch, and torque converter systems.

- Chassis control systems: The IC can be used to connect the chassis control unit (CCU) with the sensors and actuators that monitor and control the chassis dynamics, such as the anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and adaptive suspension system (ASS).

- Body control modules: The IC can be used to connect the body control module (BCM) with the sensors and actuators that monitor and control the body functions, such as the lighting, wiper, door, and window systems.

- Instrument clusters: The IC can be used to connect the instrument cluster with the other CAN devices that provide the information and feedback to the driver, such as the speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, and warning lights.

- Diagnostic interfaces: The IC can be used to connect the diagnostic interface with the other CAN devices that allow the diagnosis and mainten
