Texas Instruments debuts high-bandwidth CAN XL transceiver for next-gen robots - SDxCentral

Texas Instruments (TI) has launched the industry's first commercially available Controller Area Network (CAN) XL transceiver, the TCAN6062, designed to meet the high-bandwidth communication needs of n... Read original →

TI's launch of the CAN XL transceiver marks a significant leap in industrial communication, enabling higher bandwidth and lower latency for robotics and sensor networks. This advancement pushes upstream chip designers and downstream automation vendors to rapidly adapt, potentially accelerating the phase-out of CAN FD. From a regulatory perspective, the technology may prompt renewed scrutiny of industrial chip exports, especially in critical infrastructure sectors. Competitors like Infineon and others are likely to respond with accelerated product development, intensifying technological rivalry. Within the next 12 months, CAN XL is expected to gain traction in high-end manufacturing, becoming a foundational element in AI-driven smart factories.
