“This Click board is ideal for automotive body electronics, industrial automation, and other embedded systems that require simultaneous dual-protocol CAN and LIN communication with power management and fault protection,” claimed Mikroe CEO Nebojsa Matic. “Code featuring the CAN-LIN SBC Click can be found on Mikroe’s embedded projects platform, EmbeddedWiki.”
ATA6586 supports ISO 11898-2:2016 CAN FD up to 5Mbit/s, and a 20kbit/s LIN transceiver compliant with LIN 2.2A, ISO 17987-4 and SAEJ2602-2.
It is functional-safety-ready for ISO 26262 ASIL B and IEC 61508 SIL 2.
CAN ‘partial networking’ is supported, allowing some nodes on a network to enter low-power sleep while others continue to operate (the ATA6581 is a similar CAN IC without partial networking).
Also on the chip are a two regulators: one a 5V 150mA low drop, and the other a 5V3.3V 30mA supply for sensors.
The transceiver separates the bi-directional CAN bus into separate transmit and receive serial data streams for the host processor, and does the same for the LIN bus. Control data from host to transceiver is over a separate SPI bus.
