Interface and supporting products
Controller-to-bus connection
CAN, CAN FD and CAN SIC transceivers
SIT CAN transceivers connect the controller to the differential bus. CAN FD parts support the faster data phase of CAN FD networks; CAN SIC devices such as SIT1463Q add signal-improvement functions to suppress ringing in more complex wiring. Supply, logic-side voltage and low-power modes remain device-specific.
Local interconnect nodes
LIN transceivers
SIT LIN transceivers connect controllers to a single-wire vehicle bus. The range includes single-, dual- and four-channel devices; SIT1021Q also provides an INH output for node power control. Channel count, local or remote wake-up and sleep behavior determine how the interface fits the node and its standby-power design.
Communication and node supply
CAN and LIN system basis chips
SIT CAN and LIN system basis chips combine the bus interface with regulated supply functions for a control node. This can replace separate communication and supply devices in the node design. The number of regulator outputs, available output current and wake-up behavior distinguish the SBC options.
Differential serial links
RS-485 and RS-422 interfaces
SIT RS-485 and RS-422 devices provide differential transmit and receive channels for industrial serial links. Half- or full-duplex arrangements change the wiring and channel needs; data rate, bus loading and common-mode range set the electrical limits. Termination and protection complete the link at board level.
Equipment serial ports
RS-232 drivers and receivers
SIT RS-232 drivers and receivers translate between a controller and the electrical levels of an equipment serial port. Driver and receiver channel counts determine which data and control signals the port can carry. Supply voltage, external components and package pinout matter when fitting the interface to an existing board.
Support around the interface
Power and protection devices
SIT also lists LDO regulators, MOSFETs and ESD/TVS protection devices. These perform different jobs: regulating a rail, switching a load or limiting a transient. For a protected bus node, coordinate the regulator limits, transistor drive conditions and protection clamp behavior with the transceiver and the complete board-level circuit.
Vehicle and industrial applications
Wake-up and power states
Vehicle control networks
CAN and LIN nodes need both bus communication and a way to wake the controller without keeping the whole node powered. SIT transceivers and SBCs offer different sleep, wake-up and supply-control arrangements. The chosen automotive part must also meet the vehicle program's operating range, qualification and fault-response requirements.
Connections between controllers
Industrial and energy-storage links
An energy-storage cabinet can use CAN between its battery-management controller and other control units, and RS-485 for metering or monitoring links. SIT transceivers provide the electrical connection; the controller runs the application protocol. Ground-potential differences and external cabling determine whether the link also needs isolated data and power paths.
