Description
The severe -2V to 7V common-mode and -3V to 16V failure tolerance requirements of the CAN bus have restricted its implementation to high-voltage processes with transistors tolerant to voltages above 16V. This paper demonstrates for the first time that a CAN transceiver can also be realized with standard 3.3V 350nm CMOS double and triple well devices available in Mixed Mode 180nm CMOS technologies. This leads to lower power consumption, lower bus port capacitances and facilitates integration with the CAN controller and large digital circuits, while for space provides higher radiation tolerance.
