Product details
Overview
IFX1021SJ from Infineon Technologies is a high-reliability, galvanically isolated CAN FD transceiver in PG-DSO-8 package, supporting data rates up to 5 Mbps, bus fault protection to ±70 V, and common-mode voltage range of –30 V to +30 V. It serves as the physical layer interface between CAN controller and differential bus in automotive body electronics and chassis control units.
For engineers reviewing the IFX1021SJ datasheet, IFX1021SJ pinout, IFX1021SJ application, or IFX1021SJ equivalent, key selection criteria include ISO 11898-2:2016 compliance, integrated VIO supply for 3.3 V/5 V controller interfacing, low-power standby mode (≤15 µA), and robust ESD immunity (±15 kV HBM).
Technical Context
The IFX1021SJ implements a fully isolated differential transmitter and receiver with integrated galvanic isolation barrier compliant with DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-11) and UL 1577. Its driver stage features slew-rate control for EMC optimization and dominant timeout protection to prevent bus lock-up.
It supports asymmetric signal thresholds for improved noise immunity and includes a dedicated SPLIT pin for common-mode stabilization. The device operates over ambient temperatures from –40 °C to +150 °C and requires no external isolation components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CAN Standard | ISO 11898-2:2016 compliant - ensures interoperability with CAN FD networks up to 5 Mbps. |
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS (1 s) - enables safe operation in high-voltage automotive domains like battery management and ADAS power domains. |
| Bus Fault Protection | ±70 V - protects against load dump, jump-start, and inductive switching transients in 12 V/24 V vehicle systems. |
| VIO Supply Range | 3.0 V to 5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers or 5 V legacy CAN controllers without level-shifting. |
| Standby Current | ≤15 µA at VCC = 5 V - enables always-on network wake-up capability while meeting automotive low-power requirements. |
| Common-Mode Range | –30 V to +30 V - maintains reliable communication during severe ground offset conditions in mixed-voltage vehicle architectures. |
Pinout & Package
IFX1021SJ is housed in a PG-DSO-8 (8-pin exposed pad) package with creepage/clearance ≥8.0 mm and reinforced galvanic isolation across the die. The package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 and is AEC-Q100 qualified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Primary supply input | 5 V nominal supply for transceiver core; powers TX/RX stages and isolation barrier. |
| VIO | I/O supply input | Configures logic-level interface (3.3 V or 5 V) for CAN controller side signals (TXD/RXD). |
| TXD | Transmit data input | CMOS-compatible input from CAN controller; active-high logic drives differential bus. |
| RXD | Receive data output | CMOS-compatible output to CAN controller; reflects bus state with propagation delay ≤150 ns. |
| CANH / CANL | Differential bus terminals | High-side and low-side outputs connected directly to twisted-pair CAN bus; support split termination via SPLIT pin. |
| SPLIT | Common-mode stabilization | Connects to mid-point of 60 Ω split termination resistor pair to reduce EMI and improve common-mode rejection. |
| GND | Controller-side ground | Reference for VIO and digital I/O; galvanically isolated from bus-side ground (GNDISO not exposed externally). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reinforced Galvanic Isolation | 5 kVRMS, VDE-certified - eliminates need for external isolators and simplifies high-voltage domain separation. |
| Dominant Timeout Protection | Auto-disable TX after 10 ms dominant state - prevents bus lock-up due to controller faults or software hangs. |
| Low-Power Standby Mode | 15 µA typical current - enables partial networking and remote wake-up without compromising system sleep budget. |
| ESD Robustness | ±15 kV HBM on CANH/CANL - meets stringent automotive ESD test requirements without external TVS diodes. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥ 175 °C - protects device under sustained overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CAN FD transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP TJA1443 | No integrated galvanic isolation; requires external isolator or isolated power supply. | Suitable for non-isolated board-level designs where cost and BOM count are prioritized over safety-critical domain separation. | Select when isolation is handled at system level (e.g., isolated DC/DC + standard transceiver) and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 is not required. |
| Analog Devices ADM3053 | Integrated isolated DC/DC converter (5 V out); lower bus fault rating (±40 V) and max speed 1 Mbps (not CAN FD). | Targeted at industrial RS-485/CAN hybrid networks with moderate voltage stress and no high-speed FD requirement. | Choose only if combined signal + power isolation is needed and CAN FD bandwidth is unnecessary. |
Compared with TJA1443 and ADM3053, IFX1021SJ uniquely delivers certified 5 kV isolation, full CAN FD 5 Mbps support, and ±70 V bus fault tolerance in a single AEC-Q100 Grade 0 package-making it the only option for safety-critical automotive domains requiring both speed and reinforced insulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by IFX1021SJ?
The IFX1021SJ supports CAN FD data rates up to 5 Mbps in fast-phase mode, compliant with ISO 11898-2:2016. This enables high-bandwidth firmware updates and real-time sensor data streaming in modern automotive networks. The transceiver maintains signal integrity with controlled slew rate and low propagation delay (<150 ns), making it suitable for time-critical applications such as ADAS and EPS.
Does IFX1021SJ require an external isolated power supply?
No. The IFX1021SJ integrates a reinforced galvanic isolation barrier between the controller side (VIO/GND) and bus side (CANH/CANL), eliminating the need for external isolation components or isolated DC/DC converters. Power is supplied separately to VCC (bus side) and VIO (controller side), with internal isolation sustaining 5 kVRMS for 1 second per VDE 0884-11.
How does IFX1021SJ handle bus fault conditions?
The IFX1021SJ provides ±70 V bus fault protection on CANH and CANL pins, covering load dump, jump-start, and inductive kickback events common in 12 V/24 V automotive systems. It also includes thermal shutdown (>175 °C junction) and dominant timeout protection (10 ms auto-disable), preventing latch-up and ensuring fail-safe bus behavior during controller faults or wiring errors.
Is IFX1021SJ qualified for automotive use?
Yes. IFX1021SJ is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40 °C to +150 °C ambient), with full qualification including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD testing. It meets ISO 11898-2:2016, DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-11), and UL 1577 standards, and is manufactured in Infineon's certified automotive wafer fabs with PPAP documentation support.
