ATA6847T-5033E/NHX

Overview

The ATA6847T-5033E/NHX is a high-performance automotive transceiver designed for robust communication in demanding environments. It integrates a CAN FD controller, a LIN slave interface, and a high-current half-bridge driver capable of driving external loads such as lamps or buzzers. The device supports flexible data rate transmission on the CAN bus and provides comprehensive diagnostic features including short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown to ensure system reliability.

Feature Summary

• Integrates CAN FD controller with hardware support for flexible data rates
• Includes integrated LIN slave interface for local network connectivity
• Features a high-current half-bridge output stage for direct load driving

Applications

• Automotive body control modules
• Door control units
• Seat adjustment systems
• Lighting control modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NHX' against the official Microchip datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with required operating voltage ranges and temperature grades before procurement. Cross-reference the full part number to avoid confusion with similar variants lacking the LIN or CAN FD integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single chip solution is required to combine CAN FD communication, LIN connectivity, and power switching capabilities. It is suitable for applications needing to reduce board space and component count by integrating the transceiver, controller, and driver into one package. Consider thermal management requirements due to the integrated high-current driver stage.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AURIX-based or standard automotive transceiver family from Microchip Technology, focusing on integrated solutions for body electronics. It replaces discrete combinations of separate CAN transceivers, LIN controllers, and H-bridge drivers, simplifying the design of modern vehicle interior networks.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-to-pin compatible alternatives within the same product family that may offer different packaging options or updated revision levels. Verify if newer generations provide enhanced diagnostic features or improved electromagnetic compatibility performance.
