A beginner’s guide to CAN, CAN FD and LIN SBCs

SBCs are simply integrated circuits that integrate Controller Area Network (CAN) or Local Interconnect Network (LIN) transceivers with an internal/external ‘power element’. This power element could be a low-dropout regulator (LDO), a DC/DC converter or both. By Russell Crane, Texas Instruments

When a designer needs additional output power or layout options that require a discrete solution using both a transceiver and a discrete LDO or DC/DC converter, SBCs are a good fit.

SBCs are not new to the market; however, recent innovations in integration and performance have expanded the use of these devices. For automotive designers, the high level of integration and increased reliability enable lighter and lower-cost designs. The move from classical CAN to CAN Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) requires solutions that bridge the gap between CAN FD controller.
