ROHM’s New TVS Diodes: Supporting High-Speed CAN FD In-Vehicle Communication Systems for Autonomous Driving
  ROHM has developed bidirectional TVS (ESD protection) diodes compatible with CAN FD (CAN with Flexible Data rate) high-speed in-vehicle communication. Such protocols are seeing an increased demand in line with the ongoing advancement in autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). CAN FD is a crucial communication technology for safe, real-time data transmission between ECUs (Electronic Control Units) in vehicles. The new products achieve high-quality in-vehicle transmission by protecting electronic devices such as ECUs from surges and electrostatic discharge (ESD) while maintaining signal integrity in high-speed communication systems such as CAN FD.  The rapid evolution of autonomous driving technology and ADAS is boosting the demand for faster, more reliable automotive communication. Autonomous driving in particular requires quick and accurate processing of vast amounts of data from sensors such as cameras, LiDAR and radar - leading to the adoption of CAN FD that enables faster, higher capacity data transfer compared to traditional CAN used in automotive communication.  At the same time, to achieve high-speed in-vehicle communication, it is necessary to ensure stable transmission even under harsh environments. This has led to a growing demand for protection components that offer low terminal capacitance along with superior surge current rating and clamping voltage performance. As a result, the market for TVS diodes for automotive communication is expected to continue to grow in the future.  To meet market needs, ROHM developed the ESDCANxx series that combines low terminal capacitance with excellent surge tolerance. Two package types are available: SOT-23 (2.9mm × 2.4mm) and DFN1010 (1.0mm × 1.0mm), both supporting standoff voltages (VRWM) of 24V and 27V. The SOT-23 package includes four models: 24V ESDCAN24HPY / ESDCAN24HXY and 27V ESDCAN27HPY / ESDCAN27HXY. Similarly, the DFN1010 package is also offered in four models: 24V ESDCAN24YPA / ESDCAN24YXA and 27V ESDCAN27YPA / ESDCAN27YXA, totaling 8 products in the lineup.  The new products feature an optimized element structure that reduces terminal capacitance to a maximum of 3.5pF, preventing signal degradation during high-speed communication. High surge tolerance is also achieved, significantly improving the protection of electronic devices in automotive environments. For example, the 27V products of the DFN1010 package delivers approx. 3.2 times higher surge current rating and 16% lower clamping voltage compared to standard CAN FD-compatible products. This effectively safeguards expensive surge-sensitive electronic devices such as in-vehicle ECUs, ensuring high reliability even under harsh automotive environments. Going forward, ROHM will continue to develop products that support even faster in-vehicle communication in autonomous driving and communication environments - contributing to realizing a safer, more advanced mobility society.  Application Examples        • Autonomous driving and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)  • Automotive electric powertrain systems  • In-vehicle infotainment systems  Online Distributor Information        Sales Launch Date: December 2024  Pricing: $0.9/unit (excluding tax)  Target Products  SOT23 Package: ESDCAN24HPY, ESDCAN24HXY, ESDCAN27HPY, ESDCAN27HXY  DFN1010 Package: ESDCAN24YPA, ESDCAN24YXA, ESDCAN27YPA, ESDCAN27YXA  Terminology         CAN FD (CAN with Flexible Data Rate)  An extension of the CAN (Controller Area Network) standard, CAN FD offers faster data transfer speeds compared to conventional CAN, enabling the exchange of large volumes of data. Real-time communication between multiple in-vehicle electronic units (ECUs) is essential in systems like autonomous driving and ADAS.

NOVOSENSE Launches NSIP3266 Full-Bridge Transformer Driver with Integrated Crystal Oscillator, Simplifying Isolated Driver Power Supply Design
  NOVOSENSE today announced the launch of the NSIP3266 full-bridge transformer driver with integrated crystal oscillator, multiple protection functions and soft start support, which can be widely used in isolated driver power supply circuits in automotive on-board chargers (OBCs), traction inverters and charging piles, photovoltaic power generation and energy storage, server power supply and other systems. NSIP3266 supports a full-bridge topology with a wide range of inputs, and with clever pin and function design, it greatly simplifies the design of isolated driver’s power supply circuits, facilitating system manufacturers to optimize system circuits and shorten product time to market.  Currently, isolated driver's power supply in high-voltage systems is available in three architectural forms: centralized, fully distributed, and semi-distributed. Centralized architecture has only one stage of power supply, and the auxiliary power input voltage has a wide input range, requiring closed-loop operation. At the same time, the transformer design is complicated, and especially when a single low-cost isolated power supply is used, there are problems of multi-output load regulation and long wiring, which increase the difficulty of system design and debugging.  Fully distributed architecture uses independent isolated power modules to supply power to isolated drivers. The advantage is that 1-to-1 power supply and targeted protection can be achieved for isolated drivers, but a corresponding number of isolated power modules need to be configured, and the system cost is high.  Semi-distributed architecture adopts a balanced strategy. Through a two-stage auxiliary power architecture, the first stage uses devices with a wide input voltage range to generate regulated rails, and the second stage can be a compact open-loop form using other devices to provide isolated power supply for isolated drives. Semi-distributed architecture is gaining popularity among engineers because of its simplicity in design and balance of system cost, performance, and protection requirements.  Simplified circuit design with full-bridge topology  NOVOSENSE's NSIP3266 full-bridge transformer driver is designed for semi-distributed architecture with isolated driver power supply. Common topology options for semi-distributed architecture include push-pull, LLC, and full-bridge. NSIP3266 adopts full-bridge topology. Compared with other solutions, the principle of full-bridge topology is simple, the transformer structure does not require a center tap, the working principle does not involve the design and selection of external L and C, and the peripheral BOM is often minimal. At the same time, the full-bridge topology is more tolerant to transformer design, including leakage inductance and parasitics, which saves engineers' efforts in system design and debugging.  Ingenious design releases MCU resources  It is worth mentioning that NSIP3266, through the internal integrated crystal oscillator circuit and RT pin design, allows engineers to complete the switching frequency configuration with only external resistors, achieving decoupling of MCU control and more flexible layout. At the same time, it can still provide safe power supply when the MCU fails, promoting higher system safety. In addition, the built-in soft-start function of NSIP3266 also eliminates the need for MCU control. While not requiring MCU domain routing, it saves secondary-side current limiting resistors, greatly simplifying board design and improving architectural flexibility.  Wide voltage input and comprehensive protection  NSIP3266 supports a wide operating voltage range of 6.5V~26V. No additional TVS protection tube is required in the system circuit, allowing engineers to choose the pre-stage power supply more flexibly. In addition, NSIP3266 provides multiple protection functions, including undervoltage protection, overcurrent protection, over-temperature protection, etc. The comprehensive protection functions enable engineers to focus on the optimization and innovation of the core system functions, and to design the system quickly and efficiently to meet the reliability requirements.  Packaging and selections  NSIP3266 is available in EP-MSOP8 package (3.0 x 3.0mm x 0.65mm, with thermal pad). The industrial version, NSIP3266-D, and the automotive version, NSIP3266-Q1, which meets the requirements of AEC-Q100, will be mass-produced in the first half of 2025. Please contact NOVOSENSE's sales team (sales@novosns.com) for product details or to request samples.  Rich isolation products meet diverse needs  With its expertise and leadership in isolation technology, NOVOSENSE provides a series of isolation and "isolation+" products covering digital isolators, isolated sampling, isolated interfaces, isolated power supply, and isolated drivers. NSIP3266 is a new addition to NOVOSENSE's isolated power supply family. NOVOSENSE also offers a selection of other cost-effective and high-performance, high-integration options, including: the NSIP605x series of push-pull transformer drivers; the NSIP88/89xx and NIRSP31x series with integrated transformers and multi-channel digital isolators; the NSIP83086 isolated RS485 transceiver and the NSIP1042 isolated CAN transceiver with integrated transformers and isolated interfaces.

Renesas Extends Line-up For Industrial Ethernet and Multi-Axis Motor Control Solutions with High Performance Quad-Core Application Processor
  Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today launched the RZ/T2H, the highest performance microprocessor (MPU) offered by Renesas for industrial equipment. Thanks to its powerful application processing and real-time performance, the RZ/T2H is capable of high-speed, high-precision control of industrial robot motors for up to 9 axes. It supports a variety of network communications including Industrial Ethernet on a single chip. The MPU targets industrial controller equipment such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motion controllers, distributed control systems (DCSs), and computerized numerical controls (CNCs).  With the growing demand for unmanned and labor-saving manufacturing, industrial robots such as vertically articulated robots, and industrial controller equipment are being deployed to accelerate automated production. The Renesas RZ/T2H MPU combines all the functionality and performance required for developing these applications. While industrial systems traditionally required multiple MPUs or a combination of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to control these applications, the RZ/T2H MPU can now meet all the requirements on a single chip. This reduces the number of components and saves time and costs of FPGA program development.  “We have enjoyed outstanding market success with RZ/T2M and RZ/T2L,” said Daryl Khoo, Vice President of Embedded Processing 1st Business Division at Renesas. “The RZ/T2H builds on that momentum, allowing our industrial customers to leverage their existing design assets while addressing even more innovative, demanding industrial motor control and Linux applications. Our customers have been particularly impressed that the RZ/T2H enables them to implement a 9-axis motor control all on just one chip!”  High-Performance Application Processing and Fast Real-Time Control on a Single Chip  The RZ/T2H is equipped with four Arm® Cortex®-A55 application CPUs with a maximum operating frequency of 1.2 GHz. For external memory, it supports 32-bit LPDDR4-3200 SDRAM. Two Cortex-R52 CPUs with a maximum operating frequency of 1 GHz handle the real-time processing, with each core equipped with a total of 576 KB of high-capacity tightly coupled memory (TCM). This allows high CPU- and memory-intensive tasks such as running Linux applications, robot trajectory generation, and PLC sequence processing, to be executed on a single chip. At the same time, the RZ/T2H can handle fast and precise real-time control such as motor control and Industrial Ethernet protocol processing.  Motor control of up to 9 axes reduces component costs and development time  The Renesas RZ/T2H controls up to 9-axis servo motors in industrial robots with high-speed and accurate operation. The RZ/T2H comes with everything required for up to 9 axes of motor control including 3-phase PWM timers, delta-sigma interfaces for measuring current values, and encoder interfaces (A-format™, EnDat, BiSS®, Hyperface DSL, and FA-CODER are all supported). Furthermore, peripheral functions for motor control are placed on a Low Latency Peripheral Port (LLPP) bus of the Cortex-R52 real-time CPU core, allowing high-speed access from the CPU.  Flexible support for network communications including Industrial Ethernet  The RZ/T2H has four Ethernet ports, three Gigabit Ethernet MAC (GMAC), plus an Ethernet switch. It also supports EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, and the next-generation Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standard. The combination of these Ethernet switches and GMAC allows the MPU to support multiple Industrial Ethernet controllers and devices, providing flexibility to adapt to a wide range of controller requirements, such as upper-layer Ethernet communications.  Specialized boards and software available for industrial robots and controllers  The RZ/T2H comes with the Renesas Flexible Software Package (FSP), as with all Renesas MPUs, together with a Linux package that comes with long term support. An out-of-the-box multi-axis motor control evaluation solution is available including inverter boards for driving 9-axis motors, a multi-axis motor control software package, and Motion Utility Tool (a motor control software tool). Sample protocols for industrial Ethernet and software PLC package are also included to kick-start system development.  “As industrial equipment continues to evolve, these systems increasingly require more complex functions and performance,” said Micael Borgefeldt, Product Manager at IAR Systems. “Including the latest RZ/T2H MPU from Renesas, we empower the developers to unlock flexible application configurations across 32-bit MCUs and 64-bit high-end MPUs multi-core environments. Our IAR development solution enables engineers to accelerate next-generation industrial innovation, streamlining development and boosting efficiency like never before.”  Winning Combinations  Renesas also offers “9-axis Industrial Motor Control with Ethernet” solution that combined the RZ/T2H with numerous compatible devices such as the RV1S9231A IGBT Drive Photocoupler and RV1S9353A Optically Isolated Delta-Sigma Modulator to offer a wide array of Winning Combinations. These Winning Combinations are technically vetted system architectures from mutually compatible devices that work together seamlessly to bring an optimized, low-risk design for faster time to market. Renesas offers more than 400 Winning Combinations with a wide range of products from the Renesas portfolio: renesas.com/win.  Availability  The RZ/T2H is available today. Renesas plans to release the new RZ/N2H device in Q1/2025, which offers the same performance as the RZ/T2H in a smaller package. This is ideal for industrial controller equipment such as PLCs and motion controllers.
