NXP TJA1051TK/3,118 High-Speed CAN Transceiver

The TJA1051TK/3,118 is a state-of-the-art high-speed Controller Area Network (CAN) transceiver from NXP Semiconductors. It serves as an interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical two-wire CAN bus. Designed for high-speed automotive networking, it is capable of speeds up to 1 Mbit/s. The device is part of the third generation of high-speed CAN transceivers from NXP, offering improved electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) performance.

This robust transceiver is housed in a small leadless 8-pin HVSON package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. The TJA1051TK/3,118 is also characterized by its low power consumption, with a very low current Standby mode with bus wake-up capability. This feature is especially important for automotive applications where power efficiency is crucial.

The TJA1051TK/3,118 is fully compatible with the ISO 11898-2 standard and also offers a silent mode in which the transmitter is disabled, providing a means to listen to the bus traffic without influencing it. This functionality is particularly useful for diagnostic equipment and for nodes that require a low-power mode with wake-up capability via the bus.

Key features of the TJA1051TK/3,118 include:

• Improved EMC and ESD performance
• Compatible with ISO 11898-2 (high-speed CAN)
• Operates from -40°C to +150°C
• Low current Standby mode with wake-up trigger
• Silent mode when the transmitter is disabled
• Differential receiver with wide common-mode range for high immunity against electromagnetic interference

The device's robustness and reliability make it an excellent choice for automotive networking applications such as powertrain, chassis, safety, driver assistance, and infotainment systems. The TJA1051TK/3,118 is also suitable for industrial automation, medical equipment, and other demanding environments where a reliable CAN communication interface is essential.
