Product details
Overview
TJA1081BTS,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a FlexRay node transceiver compliant with FlexRay V3.0.1 physical layer specification, implementing JASPAR 'Bus driver increased voltage amplitude transmitter' functional class. It operates at data rates from 2.5 Mbit/s to 10 Mbit/s, supports 14 V/24 V/48 V automotive systems, and provides differential TX/RX capability between protocol controller and physical bus in time-triggered automotive networks.
For engineers reviewing the TJA1081BTS,118 datasheet, TJA1081BTS,118 pinout, TJA1081BTS,118 application, or TJA1081BTS,118 equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 60 ns minimum bit time support at 400 mV differential input, fail-silent undervoltage behavior, remote/local wake-up detection, and SSOP16 package compatibility with TJA1081.
Technical Context
The TJA1081BTS,118 implements a dual-mode bus interface with independent normal and low-power receivers, integrated bus guardian logic via BGE pin control, and auto I/O level adaptation to host VIO supply. Its state machine supports six defined operating modes-Normal, Receive-only, Standby, Go-to-sleep, Sleep, and PowerOff-with precise transition rules governed by EN, STBN, wake flags, and undervoltage detection on VBAT/VCC/VIO.
It features dedicated diagnostic signaling on ERRN (configurable for error or wake-up), RXEN (bus activity detection), and internal monitoring of temperature, short-circuit, and clamping on TXEN. Protection includes ±6 kV ESD on bus pins per IEC61000-4-2, ISO 7637-2 Class C transient immunity, and short-circuit proofing to battery and ground across 14 V/24 V/48 V systems.

Pinout & Package
Package: SSOP16 (plastic shrink small outline package; 16 leads; body width 5.3 mm; SOT338-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INH (Pin 1) | Inhibit output | Drives external voltage regulator; HIGH in Normal/Receive-only/Standby; floating in Sleep mode |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable input | Internal pull-down; HIGH enables normal operation; LOW forces low-power modes |
| VIO (Pin 3) | I/O supply | Adapts logic levels to host controller supply; undervoltage triggers fail-silent shutdown |
| TXD (Pin 4) | Transmit data input | Internal pull-down; drives transmitter when BGE=HIGH and TXEN=LOW |
| TXEN (Pin 5) | Transmitter enable | Internal pull-up; HIGH disables transmitter; clamping detection disables TX if held LOW > tdetCL(TXEN) |
| RXD (Pin 6) | Receive data output | Differential bus data output; blocked by RXEN in idle; driven LOW/HIGH based on differential bus voltage |
| BGE (Pin 7) | Bus guardian enable | Internal pull-down; LOW disables transmitter regardless of TXEN; enables bus guardian interface per FlexRay spec |
| STBN (Pin 8) | Standby input | Internal pull-down; LOW initiates Standby/Sleep modes; determines ERRN function (wake vs error) |
| RXEN (Pin 9) | Receive enable output | Indicates bus activity: LOW = activity detected; HIGH = idle; used for wake-up pattern timing validation |
| ERRN (Pin 10) | Error/wake-up flag | Open-drain output; LOW = error (in Normal/Receive-only) or wake event (in Standby/Sleep); high-impedance in PowerOff |
| VBAT (Pin 11) | Battery supply | Main power input; 4.75 V–60 V range; UVVBAT flag triggers Sleep mode and disables INH |
| WAKE (Pin 12) | Local wake-up input | Pull-up/pull-down configurable; detects local wake via voltage threshold crossing with tfltr(WAKE) filtering |
| GND (Pin 13) | Ground | Reference for all analog/digital circuits; no reverse current flow when unpowered |
| BM (Pin 14) | Bus line minus | Differential bus terminal; short-circuit proof to battery/ground; protected against ±6 kV ESD and ISO 7637 transients |
| BP (Pin 15) | Bus line plus | Differential bus terminal; same protection and robustness as BM; forms active differential driver pair |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Digital supply | +5 V supply for internal state machine; UVVCC flag triggers Standby mode; independent ramp-up sequence |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JASPAR-compliant transmitter | Meets 'Bus driver increased voltage amplitude transmitter' functional class for enhanced signal integrity in noisy automotive environments |

FAQ
What is the primary compliance standard met by the TJA1081BTS,118?
The TJA1081BTS,118 is fully compliant with the FlexRay electrical physical layer specification V3.0.1 and implements the JASPAR 'Bus driver increased voltage amplitude transmitter' functional class. It is also qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive use. This dual compliance ensures interoperability in time-triggered FlexRay networks while meeting stringent automotive reliability and signal integrity requirements - a core requirement for the TJA1081BTS,118 in safety-critical ECUs.
How does the TJA1081BTS,118 handle undervoltage conditions on VBAT, VCC, or VIO?
The TJA1081BTS,118 implements independent undervoltage detection on VBAT, VCC, and VIO with distinct fail-silent responses: VBAT undervoltage forces Sleep mode and disables INH; VCC undervoltage triggers Standby mode; VIO undervoltage internally pulls EN/STBN/TXD/BGE LOW and TXEN HIGH before entering Sleep. All paths ensure passive bus terminals and defined digital state - a critical safety feature confirmed in the TJA1081BTS,118 datasheet for ASIL-B/C systems.
What are the wake-up capabilities supported by the TJA1081BTS,118?
The TJA1081BTS,118 supports both local wake-up via voltage threshold detection on WAKE pin (with programmable pull-up/pull-down) and remote wake-up via bus-level patterns (DATA_0/DATA_1/idle sequences) or dedicated FlexRay data frames (e.g., FFh/00h payloads). Wake source recognition is implemented in hardware, and ERRN signals wake events in low-power modes - enabling rapid, deterministic recovery essential for the TJA1081BTS,118 in always-on automotive gateways.
Is the TJA1081BTS,118 pin-compatible with earlier NXP FlexRay transceivers?
Yes, the TJA1081BTS,118 is fully function and footprint compatible with the TJA1081 and supports the same mode control as the TJA1080A. Its SSOP16 (SOT338-1) package matches pin-for-pin with those predecessors, allowing drop-in replacement in existing layouts without redesign. This compatibility is explicitly stated in the TJA1081BTS,118 product documentation and verified across all 16 pins including INH, EN, VIO, TXD, TXEN, RXD, BGE, STBN, RXEN, ERRN, VBAT, WAKE, GND, BM, BP, and VCC.
What protection features does the TJA1081BTS,118 provide for automotive environments?
The TJA1081BTS,118 provides ±6 kV ESD protection on BP/BM/VCC/WAKE per IEC61000-4-2 and HBM, ISO 7637-2 Class C transient immunity on bus lines, short-circuit proofing to battery and ground across 14 V/24 V/48 V systems, and passive bus behavior when unpowered. These protections are validated per automotive qualification standards and directly enable robust deployment in under-hood and chassis locations - a defining characteristic of the TJA1081BTS,118 in real-world vehicle applications.
