The ISOW1044 device can be
used with other components from Texas Instruments such as a microcontroller
and a linear voltage regulator to form a fully isolated CAN interface.
Typically two power supplies isolated from each other are needed to power up
both sides of Isolated CAN device. Due to the integrated DC-DC converter in
the device, the isolated supply is generated inside the device that can be
used to power isolated side of the CAN device and peripherals on isolated
side, thus saving board space.
