The LT3960 is a robust high-speed transceiver that extends a single-master I2C bus through harsh or noisy environments at up to 400kbps using the CAN-physical layer.
Key Features and Benefits
● I2CAN transceiver for transmitting I2C over two twisted pairs: Differential communication is significantly more robust in harsh environments.● Operation from 4V to 60V Power Supply Range with Internal 3.3V Regulator: Ability to be powered directly from high voltage rails shared by neighboring devices (e.g. LED Drivers). Eliminates need for additional buck regulator
● Wide Common Mode Range of +/-36V: Extends functionality in environments with high common mode voltages due to electrical noise or local ground potential differences due to ground loop.
Applications
● Automotive: A2B, Road noise cancellation, LED Driver communication, matrix LED managers● Industrial Automation
● General Purpose
