TJA1041AT,518

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The TJA1041AT,518 is a high-speed CAN transceiver designed for automotive applications up to 1 Mbit/s. It provides an interface between the protocol controller and physical bus, fully compatible with ISO 11898. Operating voltage ranges from 4.75V to 5.25V on VCC, 2.8V to 5.25V on VI/O, and 5V to 27V on VBAT. The device supports half-duplex communication in a 14-pin SOIC package (SOT108-1). Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 40ns to 255ns and virtual junction temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Advanced low-power management supporting local and remote wake-up with source recognition
• Comprehensive protection and diagnosis functions including short circuits and overtemperature detection
• Automatic adaptation of I/O levels to match host controller supply voltage
• Passive behavior when supply voltage is off to prevent bus disturbance

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Automotive high-speed Controller Area Network (CAN) nodes
• Engine management systems requiring differential bus signal representation
• Body multiplexing applications within partially powered networks

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized NXP distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any obsolescence notices prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this transceiver for designs requiring robust EMC performance and advanced power management features. Ensure the microcontroller interface voltage falls within the 2.8V to 5.25V range for direct connection without external level shifters. Consider the 14-pin SOIC footprint constraints during PCB layout planning.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the third generation of high-speed CAN transceivers from NXP Semiconductors. It succeeds earlier models like the PCA82C250 and offers improved electromagnetic compatibility and passive node behavior compared to predecessors. The TJA1041 series is optimized for demanding automotive environments requiring reliable communication under varying power conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The TJA1041AT/CM,118 is a documented variant within the same family offering identical functional characteristics but potentially different packaging or reel specifications. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before substituting.
