Product details
Overview
SJA1000T/N,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is a stand-alone CAN 2.0B controller IC designed for automotive and industrial network communication. It supports both BasicCAN (PCA82C200-compatible) and extended PeliCAN modes, delivers up to 1 Mbit/s bit rate, features a 64-byte receive FIFO, and operates across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature. It interfaces directly with microcontrollers via an 8-bit multiplexed address/data bus and supports dual CAN transceiver outputs (TX0/TX1).
For engineers reviewing the SJA1000T/N,118 datasheet, SJA1000T/N,118 pinout, SJA1000T/N,118 application, or SJA1000T/N,118 equivalent, key selection considerations include mode-selectable register mapping (BasicCAN vs. PeliCAN), programmable bit timing (BTR0/BTR1), hardware-supported hot-plug bit-rate detection, single-shot transmission capability, and dual-mode acceptance filtering for 11-bit and 29-bit identifiers.
Technical Context
The SJA1000T/N,118 implements two distinct operational modes: BasicCAN (default on reset, software-pin compatible with PCA82C200) and PeliCAN (full CAN 2.0B support). Its architecture includes dedicated Interface Management Logic (IML), Bit Stream Processor (BSP), Bit Timing Logic (BTL) with programmable synchronization jump width and time segments, and Error Management Logic (EML) with read/write error counters and error code capture.
It integrates a 13-byte transmit buffer and a 64-byte RX FIFO with CPU-accessible 13-byte window, enabling concurrent message reception and processing. The acceptance filter supports both standard and extended frames using 4-byte code/mask registers in PeliCAN mode, while BasicCAN uses simpler 8-bit acceptance code/mask registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CAN Protocol | CAN 2.0B compliant - supports both 11-bit standard and 29-bit extended identifier frames in PeliCAN mode; BasicCAN mode accepts extended frames passively but only transmits/receives standard frames. |
| Max Bit Rate | 1 Mbit/s - enables high-speed communication in demanding automotive and real-time industrial networks. |
| Receive Buffer | 64-byte FIFO - allows sustained message reception without CPU intervention, reducing overrun risk during burst traffic. |
| Transmit Buffer | 13-byte fixed-size buffer - holds full CAN frame (identifier, RTR, DLC, up to 8 data bytes) for transmission by BSP. |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and harsh industrial environments. |
| Supply Voltages | VDD1/VDD2/VDD3 = 5 V ±10% - separate 5 V domains for logic, input comparator, and output drivers enable robust noise isolation. |
| Crystal Frequency | 24 MHz - drives internal oscillator; clock divider register (CDR) configures CLKOUT frequency and selects CAN mode. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO28 (plastic small outline, 28 leads, 7.5 mm body width, SOT136-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AD7–AD0 | Multiplexed address/data bus | 8-bit bidirectional bus shared between address and data; requires external latch (ALE/AS) for demultiplexing in Intel mode. |
| ALE/AS | Address latch enable / Address strobe | Intel mode: ALE latches AD[7:0] as address; Motorola mode: AS enables address sampling on falling edge. |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low enable for register access; must be asserted during all read/write cycles to SJA1000T/N,118. |
| RD/E, WR | Read/Enable and Write control | Intel: RD and WR signals; Motorola: E (enable) and RD/WR (bidirectional control); defines bus timing and direction. |
| CLKOUT | Clock output | Divided oscillator output for microcontroller clocking; disabled via CDR bit to reduce power or avoid interference. |
| MODE | Bus interface mode select | High = Intel mode (80C51-style), Low = Motorola mode (68xxx-style); sets timing and control signal interpretation. |
| TX0, TX1 | CAN output driver outputs | Dual complementary outputs drive external CAN transceiver (e.g., PCA82C250); configurable polarity and mode via OCR. |
| RX0, RX1 | CAN input comparator inputs | Differential inputs for physical bus level sensing; bypassable via CDR.CBP bit when external transceiver handles level conversion. |
| INT | Interrupt output | Open-drain active-low interrupt signaling pending events (RX, TX, error, overrun); supports wired-OR with other peripherals. |
| RST | Reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset; automatic power-on reset supported with RC network (e.g., 1 µF + 50 kΩ). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PeliCAN mode extensions | Enables full CAN 2.0B operation including 29-bit ID handling, error counters with read/write access, and arbitration lost capture with bit-position detail - critical for diagnostics and protocol compliance validation. |
| Single-shot transmission | Prevents automatic retransmission after arbitration loss or error - avoids bus contention in time-critical deterministic systems where message priority must be strictly enforced by host software. |
| Listen-only mode | Disables acknowledge and active error flags while monitoring bus traffic - supports non-intrusive debugging, bus analysis, and gateway snooping without affecting network behavior. |
| Hot-plug bit-rate detection | Software-driven synchronization to unknown bus bit rates - enables dynamic node insertion into live CAN networks without preconfiguration or manual timing setup. |
| Programmable output driver | OCR register configures TX0/TX1 polarity, push-pull/open-drain, and slew rate - allows optimization for EMC, cable length, and transceiver compatibility (e.g., ISO 11898-2/3). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar stand-alone CAN controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP2515-I/SO | SPI interface instead of parallel bus; no native PeliCAN mode; requires external crystal (up to 25 MHz); lacks listen-only mode and hot-plug detection. | Better suited for space-constrained designs with SPI-capable MCUs; not drop-in replaceable due to interface and register architecture differences. | Select MCP2515-I/SO when migrating from parallel-bus architectures to SPI-based embedded systems and when full PeliCAN diagnostics are not required. |
| TJA1040T/CM | Physical-layer transceiver only - not a controller; requires external CAN controller (e.g., SJA1000T/N,118 or MCU-integrated CAN peripheral). | Used downstream of SJA1000T/N,118 to drive CAN bus; cannot replace SJA1000T/N,118 functionally. | Select TJA1040T/CM as companion transceiver for SJA1000T/N,118 in new designs requiring ISO 11898-2 compliance and improved EMC performance. |
Compared with MCP2515-I/SO, the SJA1000T/N,118 offers direct parallel microcontroller interfacing and richer diagnostics; compared with TJA1040T/CM, it provides full protocol handling rather than physical layer signaling - making it a functional controller, not a transceiver.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SJA1000T/N,118 in a CAN network?
The SJA1000T/N,118 serves as a stand-alone CAN 2.0B protocol controller that manages message transmission, reception, filtering, error handling, and bit timing independently of the host microcontroller. It relieves the MCU from low-level CAN protocol tasks while providing flexible register-level control via its parallel interface - making it ideal for resource-limited or safety-critical systems where deterministic timing is essential. The SJA1000T/N,118 implements both BasicCAN and PeliCAN modes to ensure backward compatibility and advanced diagnostics.
Does the SJA1000T/N,118 support both standard and extended CAN frames?
Yes, the SJA1000T/N,118 supports both 11-bit standard and 29-bit extended CAN frames - but only in PeliCAN mode. In default BasicCAN mode, it transmits and receives only standard frames; extended frames are acknowledged but not delivered to the receive buffer or flagged with interrupts. To use extended frames fully, the CAN-mode bit in the Clock Divider Register (CDR) must be set to enter PeliCAN mode, enabling full CAN 2.0B functionality including extended acceptance filtering and message handling in the SJA1000T/N,118.
How does the SJA1000T/N,118 handle error reporting and diagnostics?
The SJA1000T/N,118 provides comprehensive error diagnostics through dedicated registers accessible in PeliCAN mode: Error Code Capture (ECC), RX/TX Error Counters (RXERR/TXERR), Arbitration Lost Capture (ALC), and Error Warning Limit (EWLR). These allow real-time monitoring of bus errors, identification of failure sources (e.g., bit errors, stuff errors), and proactive response before bus-off conditions occur. The SJA1000T/N,118 also generates individual interrupts for each error type, enabling granular firmware-level fault recovery - a capability absent in BasicCAN mode or simpler controllers like the PCA82C200.
Can the SJA1000T/N,118 operate without an external CAN transceiver?
No, the SJA1000T/N,118 is a protocol controller only and requires an external CAN physical-layer transceiver (e.g., TJA1040, PCA82C250, or SN65HVD230) to connect to the CAN bus. Its TX0/TX1 outputs drive the transceiver's input, and RX0/RX1 accept differential bus signals from the transceiver's output. The SJA1000T/N,118 includes an internal input comparator that can be bypassed (via CDR.CBP bit) when using transceivers with built-in level-shifting - ensuring signal integrity and minimizing propagation delay in the SJA1000T/N,118 signal path.
What are the key differences between BasicCAN and PeliCAN modes in the SJA1000T/N,118?
BasicCAN mode provides PCA82C200 software and pin compatibility with simplified register mapping and 8-bit acceptance filtering - suitable for legacy integration. PeliCAN mode unlocks full CAN 2.0B features: 29-bit identifier support, 64-byte RX FIFO, read/write error counters, arbitration lost capture, single-shot transmission, listen-only mode, and 4-byte acceptance code/mask registers. Mode selection is controlled by the CAN-mode bit in the Clock Divider Register (CDR), and the SJA1000T/N,118 resets to BasicCAN mode by default - requiring explicit initialization to enable PeliCAN functionality in the SJA1000T/N,118.
