Pin Configuration
TJA1050 Pinout
Package: SO8 (SOT96-1)
| Pin Number | Pin Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TXD | I | Transmit data input; reads in data from the CAN controller to the bus line drivers |
| 2 | GND | P | Ground |
| 3 | VCC | P | Supply voltage |
| 4 | RXD | O | Receive data output; reads out data from the bus lines to the CAN controller |
| 5 | Vref | O | Reference voltage output |
| 6 | CANL | I/O | LOW-level CAN bus line |
| 7 | CANH | I/O | HIGH-level CAN bus line |
| 8 | S | I | Select input for high-speed mode or silent mode |
Notes
- Pin S (Mode Select): Connect to GND for high-speed mode (default); connect to VCC for silent mode (transmitter disabled). Philips recommends connecting to GND even if not used, for optimal EMI performance.
- Bus Protection: CANH and CANL are protected against automotive transients per ISO 7637.
- Thermal Protection: Transmitter shuts down if junction temperature exceeds ~165 °C; resets when TXD goes HIGH.
- TXD Dominant Time-Out: If TXD is held LOW for >450 µs (typical), transmitter disables to prevent bus lockup.
- Vref Output: Provides 0.5 VCC reference (typical 2.5 V at 5 V supply) for external biasing.
