Protection against damage due to short circuit conditions on the
bus (positive and negative battery voltage)
Operating temperature range -40ºC to +125ºC
Lead-free SSOP20 package
3 Applications
The AS8221 FlexRay Standard Transceiver is best fitting for
automotive FlexRay nodes where bus wake-up and voltage regulator
control for voltage supplies is needed.
The device addresses all ECUs connected to the permanent battery
supply (clamp 30). The AS8221 can be used as only ECU wake-up
component with very low power consumption in SLEEP mode.
