Microchip releases Radiation-Tolerant ATA6571RT CAN FD Transceiver

Microchip (MCHP) Technology announces the release of its Radiation-Tolerant ATA6571RT CAN FD Transceiver, a high-reliability communication solution designed specifically for space applications. This advanced transceiver supports flexible data rates up to 5 Mbps, making it well-suited for space systems such as satellites and spacecraft that require robust and efficient data transmission. The ATA6571RT transceiver offers significant advantages over traditional CAN solutions, which are typically limited to a 1 Mbps communication bandwidth. With the ability to handle bit rates up to 5 Mbps and support for larger payloads of up to 64 bytes per frame, the ATA6571RT enhances efficiency and reduces bus load. Backward compatible with classic CAN, the ATA6571RT offers a smooth transition for existing systems.
