Product details
Overview
TJA1128CTK/1Z from NXP Semiconductors is a LIN Mini System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating a LIN transceiver, 5.0 V/85 mA LDO regulator, window watchdog, two level-sensitive WAKE inputs, one GPI, and an open-drain HVMPO output - designed for automotive body electronics nodes requiring low-power wake-up capability and limp-home safety in 12 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the TJA1128CTK/1Z datasheet, TJA1128CTK/1Z pinout, TJA1128CTK/1Z application, or TJA1128CTK/1Z equivalent, key selection considerations include LIN 2.2A/ISO 17987-4 compliance, 14 µA SLEEP-mode current, configurable cyclic wake via HVMPO, overtemperature shutdown, and AEC-Q100 qualification for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
The TJA1128CTK/1Z implements a state-machine–driven system controller supporting nine deterministic modes (NORMAL, STANDBY, SLEEP, CONFIG, etc.), with wake-source recognition and mode transitions governed by EN, STBN, RSTN, and internal thresholds. Its LIN transceiver includes integrated termination, TXD dominant time-out, and high-speed slope control for >20 kBd operation.
Watchdog functionality operates independently of the MCU clock, offering selectable periods (16–128 ms) across Window, Timeout, and Autonomous modes - with dedicated settings for software development and EOL flashing. The HVMPO supports four configurable roles: cyclic wake bias, limp-home output, GPI-controlled switching, or state-dependent voltage-level signaling.

FAQ
What LIN protocol versions does the TJA1128CTK/1Z support?
The TJA1128CTK/1Z supports LIN 2.0, LIN 2.1, LIN 2.2, and LIN 2.2A protocols, and is fully compliant with ISO 17987-4:2016 (12 V LIN) and SAE J2602-1 standards. It operates at baud rates up to 20 kBd natively, with high-speed mode enabling >20 kBd operation via adjustable slope control - ensuring interoperability across legacy and modern LIN networks.
How does the TJA1128CTK/1Z achieve ultra-low power consumption in SLEEP mode?
The TJA1128CTK/1Z achieves typ. 14 µA SLEEP-mode current by disabling the LDO regulator, LIN transceiver, and watchdog while retaining wake detection on LIN, WAKE1, and WAKE2. Its internal state machine maintains wake-source recognition logic in minimal power domain, allowing immediate transition to NORMAL mode upon valid event - critical for battery-powered automotive modules.
Can the TJA1128CTK/1Z be configured after soldering to the PCB?
Yes, the TJA1128CTK/1Z supports quasi one-time configuration via SPI interface in CONFIG mode. Using the EN, STBN, TXD, and RXD pins as SPI signals, users can program MTPNVM registers to customize watchdog behavior, wake sensitivity, HVMPO function, and LDO settings - all secured by CRC validation to prevent accidental corruption.
What safety functions does the TJA1128CTK/1Z provide for automotive use?
The TJA1128CTK/1Z provides multiple safety functions: overtemperature shutdown (≤150 °C), limp-home activation on VCC undervoltage/watchdog failure/RSTN short, LIN-bus short-circuit protection to battery/ground, and load-dump immunity up to 43 V. These features meet ISO 26262 ASIL-B readiness requirements for body electronics applications.
Is the TJA1128CTK/1Z pin-compatible with other variants in the TJA1128 family?
Yes, all TJA1128 variants - including TJA1128CTK/1Z - share identical HVSON14 (SOT1086-2) packaging and pinout. Differences between variants (e.g., TJA1128E vs. TJA1128G) relate solely to factory-programmed features (LDO voltage, number of WAKE inputs, watchdog enablement), not physical layout - enabling flexible BOM management and design reuse.
