The tie-in is that CAN network isolation is easier than ever with new NVE products (see stories at right). Labor Day NVE will be closed Monday, September 3 for Labor Day. Wide-Body, Low-Power Isolated CAN Transceiver   The newest member of NVE’s ground-breaking isolated CAN transceiver family is the wide-body, low-power IL41050TAE. The new part is in stock for immediate delivery. The wide-body 16-pin SOIC package offers a full 8 mm external creepage distance and 300 Vrms working voltage. The new “A” versions boast 10% lower quiescent and dynamic supply current than the original IL41050T version while matching speed and other specifications. The new part broadens NVE’s unique family of isolated CAN transceivers:   Part  Number  Max. Quiesc. Supply (Rec.) Max. Supply (Dom.) Typ. Loop Delay CDM ESD  Package  IL41050 T-3E 13 mA 78 mA 180 ns +200 V 0.15" SOIC-16 IL41050 TE 13 mA 78 mA 180 ns +200 V 0.3" SOIC-16 IL41050 TA-3E 12 mA 70 mA  180 ns   +500 V  0.15" SOIC-16  NEW!  IL41050 TAE 12 mA 70 mA 180 ns +500 V 0.3" SOIC-16   Advanced features allow unmatched versatility and reliable bus operation. Unpowered nodes do not disturb the bus, and a unique nonvolatile programmable power-up feature prevents unstable nodes. The devices also have a hardware-selectable silent mode that disables the transmitter. A narrow-body version, the IL41050TA-3E, was introduced in May 2012, and provides a remarkably small footprint.

A detailed reference circuit is as follows: For more on isolating CAN, watch this technical video:
