NXP Introduces Dual LIN Transceiver for Smaller, Lighter and More Cost-Efficient Modules in the Car

NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) – the world’s largest supplier of in-vehicle networking semiconductors – today announced the availability of the TJA1022, a dual LIN 2.2 transceiver that provides an interface between a LIN master/slave protocol controller and the physical bus in a LIN network. It combines two LIN transceivers into a single package, offering more compact, flexible and cost-efficient modules in the car. The TJA1022 is primarily intended for modules with multiple LIN sub-networks such as body control modules, gateway modules, and intelligent parking assistance that enhance passenger comfort and the overall driving experience.

“As the number of electronic control units in the car is growing, there is an increasing need for LIN nodes in networks, creating pressure for manufacturers to respond to larger system complexity,” says Toni Versluijs, vice president and general manager, In-Vehicle Networking, NXP Semiconductors. “We developed the TJA1022 in collaboration with major automotive manufacturing customers around the world, responding to their needs for a product which would offer more functionality in a smaller footprint.”

The TJA1022 offers module suppliers the possibility to further reduce design costs by eliminating the need for an external protection diode due to excellent intrinsic ESD protection of the transceivers. The TJA1022 is LIN 2.0, LIN 2.1, LIN 2.2 and SAE J2602-compliant, as well as compatible with K-Line. It is also fully software and pin-compatible with other NXP LIN products including the TJA1027, and thus supports a flexible, scalable platform approach.

For convenience, the new transceiver is available in two package variants: an SO14 package and an HVSON14 package. The HVSON (Plastic thermal enhanced very thin small outline package; no leads) packages are the next step in evolution of packages for automotive in-vehicle networking transceivers, while the leadless dark green RoHS (halogen free and Restriction of Hazardous Substances) packages are compliant with improved Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) capability. Both packages are automotive-qualified according to AEC-Q100 grade 1.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
