The TJA1050T/CM,118 is a high-performance interface chip for CAN (Controller Area Network) applications and is a pivotal component produced by NXP Semiconductors. This robust transceiver chip is designed to provide a reliable connection between the CAN protocol controller and the physical two-wire CAN bus, which is commonly used in automotive and industrial environments for efficient communication among microcontrollers and devices.

Key Features

• High-Speed CAN Interface: The TJA1050T/CM,118 supports the ISO 11898 standard for high-speed CAN applications, ensuring compatibility with data transmission rates up to 1 Mbps.
• Low Power Mode: An important feature of this transceiver is its low-power mode which significantly reduces current consumption when the CAN network is idle or if the node is not actively participating in communication.
• Differential Receiver with High Common-Mode Range: The device provides robust signal detection and has the ability to handle common-mode voltages in the range of -35V to +35V, enhancing the reliability of communication in a noisy environment.
• Thermal Protection: The TJA1050T/CM,118 is equipped with thermal protection that disables the transmitter in the event of a fault condition such as excessive temperature, ensuring the safety and longevity of the device.
• Transmit Data (TXD) Dominant Timeout: This safety feature prevents the CAN controller from blocking communication on the CAN bus due to a stuck-at-dominant fault on TXD input.

Applications

The TJA1050T/CM,118 is primarily used in automotive networks, but it is also suitable for a variety of industrial automation systems. Its applications include, but are not limited to:

• On-board diagnostics
• Body control modules
• Engine control units
• Gateway modules
• Industrial control systems
• Embedded networking

Package and Quality

The device is offered in an SO8 package, which is suitable for surface-mount technology (SMT) and is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment. The TJA1050T/CM,118 is part of NXP's commitment to quality and reliability, adhering to strict industry standards and rigorous testing protocols to ensure optimal performance.
