Product details
Overview
TJA1041T/CM,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a high-speed CAN transceiver designed for automotive network nodes, providing ISO 11898-compliant differential transmit/receive capability up to 1 Mbit/s, with VCC = 4.75–5.25 V, VI/O = 2.8–5.25 V, and VBAT = 5–27 V operation. It enables bidirectional communication between microcontroller protocol controllers and the physical CAN bus in body control modules, powertrain gateways, and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the TJA1041T/CM,118 datasheet, TJA1041T/CM,118 pinout, TJA1041T/CM,118 application, or TJA1041T/CM,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated wake-up source recognition, recessive bus DC stabilization via SPLIT pin, listen-only mode for failure containment, undervoltage detection on VCC/VI/O/VBAT, and passive behavior when supply is off.
Technical Context
The TJA1041T/CM,118 implements a five-mode operating architecture (Normal, pwon/listen-only, Standby, go-to-sleep command, Sleep) controlled by STB and EN pins, with internal flags (UVNOM, UVBAT, pwon, wake-up, bus failure, local failure, wake-up source) accessible via ERR pin. Its differential receiver features ±12 V common-mode range and 70 mV typical hysteresis, ensuring robust EMI immunity in noisy automotive environments.
It integrates TXD dominant clamping, RXD recessive clamping, TXD-to-RXD short-circuit, bus dominant clamping, and overtemperature protection - all triggering local failure flag assertion and transmitter disablement. The I/O-level adapter scales TXD/STB/EN thresholds and RXD/ERR output levels to match controller VI/O voltage (2.8–5.25 V), eliminating level-shifting components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed CAN transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TCAN1042DRBR | Higher VBAT max (42 V vs. 27 V); no SPLIT pin; fixed 3.3 V/5 V I/O support (no VI/O adaptation) | Preferred for 42 V load-dump systems; lacks recessive bus stabilization and dual-edge wake-up | Select TCAN1042DRBR only when extended VBAT rating is required and SPLIT functionality is unused. |
| SN65HVD255DR | No integrated wake-up source recognition; no undervoltage detection on VI/O; no listen-only mode | Suitable for cost-sensitive non-automotive industrial CAN; lacks automotive-grade diagnostics and fail-safe modes | Choose SN65HVD255DR only for non-automotive applications where full ISO 11898-2 diagnostics are not mandated. |
Compared with TCAN1042DRBR and SN65HVD255DR, the TJA1041T/CM,118 uniquely combines VI/O-adaptive I/O levels, SPLIT-based EME reduction, and wake-up source identification - making it the only option qualified for ASIL-B-relevant automotive subsystems requiring comprehensive fault containment.

FAQ
What is the maximum bus data rate supported by the TJA1041T/CM,118?
The TJA1041T/CM,118 supports a maximum bus data rate of 1 Mbit/s, fully compliant with ISO 11898-2 high-speed CAN specifications. This enables use in demanding automotive applications such as powertrain gateways and ADAS domain controllers where deterministic latency and bandwidth are critical. The TJA1041T/CM,118 maintains signal integrity at this rate through matched dominant output voltages (VO(dom)(m) ≤ ±0.15 V) and low propagation delay variation (40–255 ns).
How does the TJA1041T/CM,118 handle undervoltage conditions on VCC and VI/O?
The TJA1041T/CM,118 monitors VCC and VI/O independently, triggering the UVNOM flag if either drops below its threshold (VCC <3.3 V or VI/O <1.5 V) for longer than 10 ms. Upon flag assertion, it enters Sleep mode to prevent bus disturbance and disable external regulators via floating INH. Recovery requires clearing UVNOM via pwon or wake-up event. The TJA1041T/CM,118 thus enforces fail-safe behavior without external supervision.
What is the function of the SPLIT pin on the TJA1041T/CM,118?
The SPLIT pin on the TJA1041T/CM,118 delivers a stabilized 0.5×VCC voltage during Normal and pwon/listen-only modes to enable split-termination networks. This reduces common-mode voltage steps during recessive-to-dominant transitions, lowering electromagnetic emissions (EME) in partially powered vehicle networks. In Standby and Sleep modes, SPLIT is set floating to minimize leakage. The TJA1041T/CM,118 is the only transceiver in its class offering this EME-optimized feature with built-in regulation.
Can the TJA1041T/CM,118 operate with a 3.3 V microcontroller I/O supply?
Yes, the TJA1041T/CM,118 supports VI/O from 2.8 V to 5.25 V, allowing direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers. Its integrated I/O-level adapter adjusts TXD/STB/EN input thresholds and RXD/ERR output voltage levels ratio-metrically to VI/O, eliminating external level shifters. When VI/O = 3.3 V, RXD outputs HIGH at ~2.9 V and LOW at <0.4 V, ensuring reliable logic interpretation by the host controller. This capability is intrinsic to the TJA1041T/CM,118 design.
What diagnostic capabilities does the ERR pin provide on the TJA1041T/CM,118?
The ERR pin on the TJA1041T/CM,118 is an active-LOW open-drain output that conveys five internal flags: UVNOM, UVBAT, pwon, wake-up, and bus/local failure. Each flag corresponds to a specific fault or state condition - e.g., UVNOM indicates VCC/VI/O undervoltage, wake-up signals local or remote activation, and bus failure detects CANH/CANL short circuits. These flags are accessed by monitoring ERR state transitions after mode changes, enabling real-time system diagnostics without additional hardware. The TJA1041T/CM,118 makes these diagnostics directly actionable via a single pin.
