Digi-Key kan nu levere CAN-controllere fra NXP

Digi-Key kan nu levere NXP Semiconductors LPC11C14 CAN controllere fra LPC11C00 serien (in english).

Digi-Key has announced it is now stocking NXP's LPC11C00 series, starting with the LPC11C14, a Controller Area Network (CAN) 2.0B-compliant controller for industrial and embedded networking applications. The LPC11C14 is now available for purchase on Digi-Key's global websites and will be featured in future print and online catalogs.

While CAN has long been considered one of the best choices for robust, real-time communication, the price has been prohibitive for low-cost embedded applications. With the introduction of the LPC11C00 series, NXP now provides a new low-cost entry point and total CAN solution that reduces product development risk, lowers total system cost, and speeds time to market for high-performance embedded designs.

Additionally, by incorporating CAN and CANopen drivers in on-chip ROM, the LPC11C00 series provides design engineers with easy-to-use API commands to the CANopen protocol, enabling rapid integration into CAN-based networks.

- With the addition of several low-cost CAN device options, the LPC11C00 family is continuing to expand into even more 8- and 16-bit application areas, says Geoff Lees, vice president and general manager, microcontroller product line, NXP Semiconductors. - Offering CAN and CANopen protocol support directly on-chip greatly simplifies the plug-and-play integration process.

Dave Doherty, Digi-Key vice president, semiconductor product, says:
- We are very pleased to offer this new low-cost, high-value microcontroller to the thousands of design engineers who rely on Digi-Key to provide them with the latest and most innovative products for their designs.
