Product details
Overview
TJA1081TS,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a FlexRay node transceiver compliant with FlexRay V2.1 Rev. A and supporting key V3.0.1 features. It operates at data rates up to 10 Mbit/s, supports 60 ns minimum bit time, delivers differential TX/RX capability, and integrates bus guardian control and voltage-level adaptation for VIO. It is designed for automotive ECU communication systems requiring fail-silent behavior, remote/local wake-up, and robust EMC/ESD performance.
For engineers reviewing the TJA1081TS,112 datasheet, TJA1081TS,112 pinout, TJA1081TS,112 application, or TJA1081TS,112 equivalent, this page provides verified operating modes (Normal, Receive-only, Standby, Go-to-sleep, Sleep), diagnostic flag reporting via ERRN, low-power management with inhibit output (INH), and automotive-grade protection including ±8 kV HBM ESD and ISO 7637-2 Class C transient immunity.
Technical Context
The TJA1081TS,112 implements a dual-supply architecture with independent VBAT (6.5–60 V), VCC (4.75–5.25 V), and VIO (2.2–5.25 V) rails, enabling operation in both 14 V and 42 V automotive systems. Its digital state machine is powered by whichever supply (VCC, VIO, or VBAT) remains valid, ensuring fail-silent transitions during undervoltage events.
It features a dedicated low-power receiver for wake-up detection in Standby/Sleep modes, supports bus wake-up via DATA_0/DATA_1 patterns or dedicated FlexRay frames, and provides real-time diagnostics through a serial status register read via ERRN/EN timing. Mode control is fully managed by STBN and EN pins with deterministic state transitions defined in Table 3 and Figure 5.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FlexRay transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TJA1080ATS/0Z | Lacks integrated bus guardian control interface (no BGE pin); supports only Normal and Standby modes - no Go-to-sleep or Sleep mode granularity. | Suitable for simpler FlexRay nodes where protocol-layer bus arbitration is handled externally; not recommended for fail-silent safety-critical paths. | Select TJA1080ATS/0Z only if BGE-based hardware bus guarding and multi-tier low-power states are unnecessary. |
| MC33664AEF | Supports FlexRay V2.1 but omits V3.0.1 features; lower ESD rating (±6 kV HBM); no auto VIO level adaptation - requires external level shifters for mixed-voltage designs. | Targeted at cost-sensitive non-safety applications; lacks wake source recognition and detailed status register (S0–S12) for diagnostic traceability. | Choose MC33664AEF only when full diagnostic visibility, 14/42 V compatibility, and fail-silent behavior are not required. |

FAQ
What is the primary compliance standard for the TJA1081TS,112?
The TJA1081TS,112 is fully compliant with the FlexRay electrical physical layer specification V2.1 Rev. A and incorporates selected features from V3.0.1, including enhanced bus guardian control and extended diagnostic capabilities. It is also qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive use, ensuring reliability across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperatures. This dual compliance makes the TJA1081TS,112 suitable for safety-critical FlexRay domains in modern vehicle architectures.
How does the TJA1081TS,112 handle undervoltage conditions on its supply rails?
The TJA1081TS,112 independently monitors VBAT, VCC, and VIO for undervoltage. Detection of UVVBAT forces immediate entry into Sleep mode (INH disabled); UVVCC triggers Standby mode; UVVIO disables TXEN and clamps control inputs. All transitions are fail-silent - the transmitter enters high-impedance state and bus lines behave passively. Recovery resets flags and enables mode reselection via STBN/EN, ensuring predictable restart behavior. This behavior is documented in Sections 6.4 and Table 6 of the TJA1081TS,112 datasheet.
What wake-up mechanisms does the TJA1081TS,112 support?
The TJA1081TS,112 supports both local wake-up via the WAKE pin (with programmable pull-up/pull-down biasing) and remote wake-up via two methods: detection of standardized bus wake-up patterns (consecutive DATA_0 symbols separated by idle/DATA_1 intervals), or reception of dedicated FlexRay data frames emulating those patterns. Wake source recognition is retained in low-power modes and reported via S0/S1 bits in the status register. The TJA1081TS,112 uses these mechanisms to achieve sub-100 µA standby current while maintaining responsiveness - critical for always-on vehicle networks.
Can the TJA1081TS,112 interface directly with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes. The TJA1081TS,112 supports auto I/O level adaptation via the VIO supply rail (2.2 V to 5.25 V). When VIO = 3.3 V, the RXD output and TXD input are automatically configured for 3.3 V logic thresholds, eliminating external level shifters. TXEN, BGE, STBN, and EN inputs also tolerate 3.3 V signals with internal pull-up/pull-down resistors. This feature is explicitly confirmed in Section 2.1 and Table 2 of the TJA1081TS,112 datasheet, enabling seamless integration with modern 3.3 V automotive MCUs.
What diagnostic information is available from the TJA1081TS,112 and how is it accessed?
The TJA1081TS,112 provides a 13-bit status register (S0–S12) readable via the ERRN pin using EN as a clock signal. It reports local/remote wake-up sources, bus error, temperature high/medium flags, TXEN_BGE clamped condition, and undervoltage events (UVVBAT/UVVCC/UVVIO). Each bit maps directly to a hardware flag; ERRN goes LOW when the corresponding bit is set. Status reading is enabled only when VIO is within spec and no undervoltage flags are active - ensuring diagnostic integrity. This serial interface is defined in Section 6.6 and Table 9 of the TJA1081TS,112 datasheet.
