High speed CAN transceiver

Overview

Part: TJA1050

Type: High speed CAN transceiver

Description: High speed CAN transceiver with very low electromagnetic emission, improved unpowered node behavior, and bus pins protected against automotive transients, supporting baud rates from 60 kbaud up to 1 Mbaud.

Operating Conditions:

  • Supply voltage: 4.75–5.25 V
  • Operating temperature: -40 to +150 °C (virtual junction temperature)
  • Baud rate: 60 kbaud up to 1 Mbaud

Absolute Maximum Ratings:

  • Max supply voltage: +6 V
  • Max junction/storage temperature: +150 °C

Key Specs:

  • Supply current (dominant): 75 mA (max, V TXD = 0 V)
  • Supply current (recessive): 10 mA (max, V TXD = V CC)
  • Differential bus input voltage (dominant): 1.5–3 V (V TXD = 0 V)
  • Propagation delay TXD to RXD: 250 ns (max, V S = 0 V)
  • Differential receiver threshold voltage: 0.5–0.9 V
  • TXD dominant time-out: 250–750 μs (V TXD = 0 V)
  • Short-circuit output current (CANH): -95 mA (max, V CANH = 0 V, V TXD = 0 V)
  • Short-circuit output current (CANL): 100 mA (max, V CANL = 36 V, V TXD = 0 V)

Features:

  • Fully compatible with the 'ISO 11898' standard
  • High speed (up to 1 Mbaud)
  • Very low ElectroMagnetic Emission (EME)
  • Differential receiver with wide common-mode range for high ElectroMagnetic Immunity (EMI)
  • An unpowered node does not disturb the bus lines
  • Transmit Data (TXD) dominant time-out function
  • Silent mode in which the transmitter is disabled
  • Bus pins protected against transients in an automotive environment
  • Input levels compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V devices
  • Thermally protected
  • Short-circuit proof to battery and to ground
  • At least 110 nodes can be connected.

Applications:

  • High-speed automotive applications
  • Nodes in a power-down situation in partially powered networks

Package:

  • SO8 (plastic small outline package; 8 leads; body width 3.9 mm)
  • Bare die (die dimensions 1700 · 1280 · 380 m m)

Features

  • Fully compatible with the 'ISO 11898' standard

Pin Configuration

TJA1050 Pinout

Package: SO8 (SOT96-1)

Pin NumberPin NameTypeDescription
1TXDITransmit data input; reads in data from the CAN controller to the bus line drivers
2GNDPGround
3VCCPSupply voltage
4RXDOReceive data output; reads out data from the bus lines to the CAN controller
5VrefOReference voltage output
6CANLI/OLOW-level CAN bus line
7CANHI/OHIGH-level CAN bus line
8SISelect 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.
