Novosense adds EMC-Compliant CAN transceivers and motor driver to automotive portfolio
Novosense has announced the European launch of four new industry-leading interference-resistant CAN transceivers and a stepper motor driver to add to its portfolio of automotive body control devices for European OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
As the number of electronic control units (ECUs) in vehicles continues to grow, in-vehicle communication must be more robust and reliable than ever. CAN networks serve as the communication backbone for systems such as lighting, ignition devices, powertrain, inverters, and other essential body electronics. However, electromagnetic interference from powertrain systems, ignition devices, inverters, and wireless equipment can disrupt CAN communication, leading to signal errors or system failures.
The Novosense CAN transceivers have successfully passed the stringent requirements of IBEE/FTZ-Zwickau electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) certification, which is based on IEC62228-3 and referenced by automakers within Europe and beyond.
Novosense will be showcasing the full range of automotive body control products below at PCIM Europe 2025 in Nuremberg, Germany, from May 6-8 at Hall 4A, Booth 119.
• CAN transceivers: （High EMC performance: Full pass the IBEE/FTZ-Zwickau EMC test）
￮ NCA1044-Q1 very low-current standby mode with BUS wake-up capability, offers excellent EMC performance and proprietary ringing suppression for energy-efficient ECU operation. Supports CAN FD communication up to 5 Mbps.
￮ NCA1057-Q1 supports silent mode，offers excellent EMC performance and proprietary ringing suppression for energy-efficient ECU. It also includes thermal protection and dominant timeout for enhanced system safety and reliability.
￮ NCA1043B-Q1 Low-power management controls the power supply throughout the node while supporting local and remote wake-up with wake-up source recognition.
￮ NCA1145B-Q1 offers low power consumption in standby and sleep modes and supports CAN partial networking using ISO11898-2:2024 compliant selective wake-up functionality. It features excellent EMC performance and proprietary ringing suppression function.
￮ NCA1462-Q1 is a high-speed CAN FD transceiver with signal improvement capability (CiA601-4 standard), supporting up to 8 Mbps. It reduces signal ringing in large topologies, ensures tight bit timing symmetry, and offers seamless replacement for standard CAN and CAN FD transceivers.
• High-side switch series NSE34/35xxx is designed to drive resistive, inductive, halogen, and capacitive loads in automotive BCMs and ZCUs. Available in 1-, 2-, or 4-channel variants in HSSOP-14/16 packages with Rds(on) from 8 to 140 mΩ, the series offers precise current sensing for diagnostics and monitoring, integrated protection features, and AEC-Q100-012 Grade A certification for over one million protection cycles.
• Bipolar stepper motor driver NSD8381-Q1 with built-in current control, sensorless stall detection, and full-featured diagnostics. It supports up to 1/32 microstepping, operates up to 40 V, and delivers up to 1.35 A per channel.
