Product details
Overview
TJA1041AT/CM,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a high-speed CAN transceiver designed for automotive in-vehicle networks. It provides bidirectional differential transmit/receive capability compliant with ISO 11898, supports up to 1 Mbit/s data rate, operates from 4.75 V to 5.25 V VCC, features recessive bus DC voltage stabilization via SPLIT pin, and enables local/remote wake-up with source recognition - used in body control modules, powertrain gateways, and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the TJA1041AT/CM,118 datasheet, TJA1041AT/CM,118 pinout, TJA1041AT/CM,118 application, or TJA1041AT/CM,118 equivalent, this page delivers verified operating modes (Normal, Pwon/Listen-only, Standby, Sleep), bus fault diagnostics (bus dominant clamping, TXD-to-RXD short), I/O-level adaptation for 2.8–5.25 V controllers, and ESD robustness (±6 kV HBM on CANH/CANL/SPLIT).
Technical Context
The TJA1041AT/CM,118 implements a fail-safe physical layer per ISO 11898 with five programmable operating modes controlled by STB and EN pins, including Normal mode (full TX/RX), Pwon/Listen-only (RX only, transmitter disabled), and Sleep mode (INH floating, <30 µA VBAT current). Its receiver offers wide common-mode range (−27 V to +40 V) and 70 mV hysteresis for high EMI immunity.
Internal diagnostics include seven flags (UVNOM, UVBAT, pwon, wake-up, wake-up source, bus failure, local failure) accessible via ERR pin, with dedicated detection for TXD dominant clamping (600 µs timeout), RXD recessive clamping, overtemperature (>150 °C shutdown), and bus line shorts to VBAT/GND/VCC - all enabling autonomous node-level fault containment without controller intervention.
Key Specifications

| Standby Current | 10–30 µA at 12 V VBAT - enables always-on network monitoring with minimal quiescent power draw. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO14 (plastic small outline, 14 leads, 3.9 mm body width, SOT108-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TXD (1) | Transmit data input | Digital input from CAN controller; drives differential bus output when active; includes 600 µs dominant timeout protection. |
| GND (2) | Ground reference | Primary signal return path; decoupling capacitor must be placed adjacent to VCC and GND pins. |
| VCC (3) | Transceiver supply | 5 V nominal supply; undervoltage detection triggers Sleep mode if <3.3 V for >10 ms. |
| RXD (4) | Receive data output | CMOS-compatible digital output reflecting bus state; level adapts to VI/O voltage (2.8–5.25 V). |
| VI/O (5) | I/O-level adapter reference | Sets logic thresholds for TXD/STB/EN and output levels for RXD/ERR - eliminates external level-shifting circuitry. |
| EN (6) | Enable control input | Active-HIGH; controls mode transitions with STB to select Normal, Standby, or Go-to-sleep command mode. |
| INH (7) | Inhibit output | Open-drain output controlling external voltage regulators; floats in Sleep mode to disable downstream supplies. |
| ERR (8) | Error/power-on indication | Active-LOW output signaling internal flags (pwon, wake-up, bus/local failure) - requires 8 µs stabilization after mode change. |
| WAKE (9) | Local wake-up input | Edge-triggered (LOW→HIGH or HIGH→LOW); internal bias follows pin state to minimize leakage during idle. |
| VBAT (10) | Battery voltage input | Direct connection to vehicle battery; powers wake-up circuitry and enables cold-start diagnosis during first battery connection. |
| SPLIT (11) | Common-mode stabilization | Provides 0.5×VCC in Normal/Pwon mode to reduce EME via split termination; floats in low-power modes. |
| CANL (12) | LOW-level CAN bus line | Differential bus terminal; rated for −27 V to +40 V; short-circuit proof to battery and ground. |
| CANH (13) | HIGH-level CAN bus line | Differential bus terminal; matched dominant output voltage (±0.15 V) ensures bus symmetry and timing integrity. |
| STB (14) | Standby control input | Active-LOW; primary control for entering Standby/Sleep modes; wake-up capable even when VCC = 0 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Recessive bus DC voltage stabilization | SPLIT pin delivers regulated 0.5×VCC in Normal/Pwon mode to suppress common-mode steps and reduce electromagnetic emissions (EME) in partially powered networks. |
| Wake-up source recognition | Distinguishes local (WAKE pin) vs. remote (bus activity) wake-up events via dedicated internal flag - enables differentiated firmware response in sleep-aware ECUs. |
| Five-level power management | Supports Normal → Pwon/Listen-only → Standby → Go-to-sleep → Sleep transitions with <30 µA VBAT current in Sleep, preserving battery life in parked vehicles. |
| Integrated bus fault diagnostics | Detects and signals TXD dominant clamping, RXD recessive clamping, TXD-to-RXD short, bus dominant clamping, and overtemperature - all disabling transmitter to prevent network lockup. |
| Automotive transient protection | Withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (40 V load dump) and ±200 V transients on CANH/CANL/SPLIT/VBAT - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in many designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the TJA1041AT/CM,118?
The TJA1041AT/CM,118 supports a maximum data rate of 1 Mbit/s, fully compliant with ISO 11898-2:2003 for high-speed CAN. This enables real-time communication in demanding automotive applications such as powertrain control and ADAS sensor fusion, with propagation delay from TXD to RXD specified at 40–255 ns under defined conditions.
How does the TJA1041AT/CM,118 handle undervoltage conditions on VCC or VI/O?
The TJA1041AT/CM,118 monitors VCC and VI/O continuously: if either drops below its undervoltage threshold (VCC < 3.3 V or VI/O < 1.5 V) for longer than 10 ms, the UVNOM flag sets and the device enters Sleep mode. This prevents bus disturbance and disables INH to cut downstream power - a fail-safe behavior confirmed in the TJA1041AT/CM,118 datasheet Section 7.2.1.
Can the TJA1041AT/CM,118 operate with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes - the TJA1041AT/CM,118 supports VI/O from 2.8 V to 5.25 V. When supplied with 3.3 V at VI/O, its TXD, STB, and EN inputs adapt their logic thresholds, and RXD/ERR outputs scale to 3.3 V levels. This eliminates external level shifters and is explicitly validated in the TJA1041AT/CM,118 Characteristics table (Section 10, VI/O column).
What diagnostic functions are available via the ERR pin of the TJA1041AT/CM,118?
The ERR pin of the TJA1041AT/CM,118 provides active-LOW indication of five internal flags: pwon (power-on), wake-up, bus failure, local failure, and wake-up source - depending on operating mode. Each flag's availability and clearing condition is documented in Table 5 of the TJA1041AT/CM,118 datasheet, with 8 µs stabilization required after mode changes.
Does the TJA1041AT/CM,118 require external termination resistors on the CAN bus?
Yes - the TJA1041AT/CM,118 requires standard 120 Ω termination at each bus end. However, its SPLIT pin enables optional split termination (two 60 Ω resistors + capacitor to ground) to stabilize recessive common-mode voltage and reduce electromagnetic emissions. This configuration is recommended in Figure 5 of the TJA1041AT/CM,118 datasheet for EME-sensitive applications.
