CAN bus avionics databus interface controller with integrated transceiver introduced by Holt
Sept. 16, 2010
MISSION VIEJO, Calif., 16 Sept. 2010. Holt Integrated Circuits in Mission Viejo, Calif., is introducing the HI-3110 ARINC 825-compliant CAN bus controller with integrated transceiver for avionics applications. CAN bus stands for Controller Area Network. Holt engineers are capitalizing on their expertise in mixed-signal ARINC 429 and MIL-STD-1553 avionics databus solutions to create the ARINC 825 CAN controller for harsh-environment applications. The controller operates in the full military temperature range of -55 to 125 degrees Celsius.Â
MISSION VIEJO, Calif., 16 Sept. 2010. Holt Integrated Circuits in Mission Viejo, Calif., is introducing the HI-3110 ARINC 825 -compliant CAN bus controller with integrated transceiver for avionics applications. CAN bus stands for Controller Area Network.
Holt engineers are capitalizing on their expertise in mixed-signal ARINC 429 and MIL-STD-1553 avionics databus solutions to create the ARINC 825 CAN controller for harsh-environment applications. The controller operates in the full military temperature range of -55 to 125 degrees Celsius, and meets ISO 11898-1:2003(E) (CAN protocol) and ISO 11898-5 (CAN transceiver).
The databus interface device communicates with an external microcontroller via a serial peripheral interface (SPI) and has transmit and receive FIFOs that hold as many as eight CAN frames each. The HI-3110 includes monitor mode, loopback mode, and a low-power sleep mode. Automatic wake-up from sleep mode is also possible.
The HI-3111 is a digital-only version (no transceiver) for applications with an external transceiver. All device variants are available in an 18-pin SOIC package or a compact 44-pin QFN. For more information contact Holt online at www.holtic.com.
