General Description

The CA-IS305x family of devices is a galvanically-isolated controller area network (CAN) transceiver that has superior isolation and CAN performance to meet the needs of industrial applications. All devices of this family have logic input and output buffers separated by a silicon oxide  (SiO2) insulation barrier that provides galvanic isolation.  Isolation improves communication by breaking ground loops and reduces noise where there are large differences in ground potential between ports. Both the CA-IS3050 and the CA-IS3052 are available in wide-body SOIC8 and SOIC16,  but offer different pinouts; also, the CA-IS3050 is available in a small SOP8 package(DUB8). The 16-pin SOIC(W) is the industry standard isolated CAN package while the 8-pin SOIC(G) and DUB8(U) are much smaller packages that further reduce the board space in addition to reduced components due to the integration of isolation and CAN with protection features. The CA-IS3050U provides up to  3750VRMS (60s) of galvanic isolation; The CA-IS3050G/W and  CA-IS3052G/W provide up to 5000VRMS (60s) of galvanic isolation.
