MAX14878–MAX14880 Isolated CAN Transceivers Analog Devices MAX14878–MAX14880 Isolated CAN Transceivers are high-speed transceivers that improve communication and safety. This is achieved by integrating galvanic isolation between the CAN protocol controller side of the device and the physical wires of the network (CAN) bus. Isolation improves communication by breaking ground loops and reducing noise where there are large differences in ground potential between ports. The Analog Devices MAX14879 provides up to 2750VRMS (60s) of galvanic isolation, while the MAX14878/MAX14880 provides up to 5000VRMS (60s) of galvanic isolation.
