Product details
Overview
TJA1128DTK/1Z from NXP Semiconductors is a LIN Mini System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating a LIN transceiver, 3.3 V/85 mA LDO regulator, window watchdog, dual local wake-up inputs (WAKE1/WAKE2), one general-purpose input (GPI), and a configurable high-voltage multipurpose output (HVMPO). It operates across 5.0–28 V battery supply, supports ISO 17987-4:2016 and SAE J2602, and enables ultra-low-power STANDBY (22 µA typ.) and SLEEP (14 µA typ.) modes for automotive body electronics nodes.
For engineers reviewing the TJA1128DTK/1Z datasheet, TJA1128DTK/1Z pinout, TJA1128DTK/1Z application, or TJA1128DTK/1Z equivalent, this page delivers verified functional scope, validated operating modes (NORMAL/STANDBY/SLEEP/CONFIG), confirmed LIN baud rate (up to 20 kBd), exact HVMPO configuration options (limp home, cyclic wake bias, GPI-controlled), and precise thermal shutdown behavior at +150 °C.
Technical Context
The TJA1128DTK/1Z implements a state-machine-based system controller supporting nine deterministic modes-including NORMAL (active LIN + LDO), STANDBY (LDO on, LIN off), SLEEP (all regulators/transceiver disabled), CONFIG (SPI programming), and OVERTEMP (forced RSTN low). Wake-up sources are fully distinguishable via PORT mode serial status readback (WUF1/WUR1/WUF2/WUR2/LIN/LIMP flags).
Its LIN transceiver complies with ISO 17987-4:2016 (12 V), LIN 2.0–2.2A, and SAE J2602, includes integrated termination for responder applications, TXD dominant time-out, and optional high-speed slope mode. The window watchdog features microcontroller-independent clocking, 16–128 ms selectable period, and dedicated software development/flash modes.

Applications
| Door Module Control | Seat Position Memory |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: LIN-connected door module managing power windows, locks, mirrors, and interior lighting in modern vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TJA1128DTK/1Z serves as the primary power and communication interface - regulating 3.3 V for MCU, driving LIN bus, detecting key-fob wake events via WAKE1, and asserting limp home on overtemperature. Use Value: Enables single-chip integration of power, comms, and safety functions; reduces BOM count by eliminating discrete LDO, watchdog, and LIN transceiver components. | Use Scenario: Seat ECU storing and recalling position presets using LIN commands from central body controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TJA1128DTK/1Z supplies stable 3.3 V to seat MCU, handles LIN protocol framing, monitors seat motor current via GPI, and triggers HVMPO as limp-home output if motor stalls. Use Value: Provides fail-safe motor control with hardware-enforced limp-home response - no firmware dependency for critical safety action. |
| Roof Console Node | Trunk Release Actuator |
Use Scenario: Roof-mounted console with ambient lighting, sunroof control, and map lights communicating over LIN. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TJA1128DTK/1Z operates in STANDBY mode (22 µA) awaiting LIN command or local wake via WAKE2 from light switch; enters NORMAL only during active control. Use Value: Achieves <25 µA average system current in standby - extends vehicle battery life during prolonged parking. | Use Scenario: Trunk release actuator responding to LIN command from body control module, with mechanical feedback monitoring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TJA1128DTK/1Z uses HVMPO in state-controlled mode (MPOMOD=100) to drive solenoid only in NORMAL mode; disables output automatically in SLEEP/STANDBY to prevent accidental activation. Use Value: Enforces hardware-gated actuation - eliminates risk of unintended trunk release due to MCU lockup or noise. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LIN SBC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLIN1029DR | Single-WAKE input; no HVMPO; 5 V LDO only; no window watchdog - simpler feature set | Lacks cyclic wake bias and limp home; limited for multi-sensor nodes requiring advanced wake coordination | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for dual wake inputs or HVMPO flexibility |
| UJA1075AK/3V3/1 | Includes CAN interface; 3.3 V LDO; higher quiescent current (40 µA STANDBY); no SPI-configurable HVMPO | Supports hybrid LIN/CAN gateways; less suitable for pure-LIN nodes where footprint and sleep current are critical | Choose for gateway applications needing both LIN and CAN physical layers on one die |
Compared with TLIN1029DR and UJA1075AK/3V3/1, the TJA1128DTK/1Z uniquely combines dual wake inputs, SPI-configurable HVMPO, window watchdog, and 14 µA SLEEP current - making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-aware LIN endpoints requiring hardware-enforced limp-home and cyclic wake capability.

FAQ
What LIN protocol versions does the TJA1128DTK/1Z support?
The TJA1128DTK/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. It interoperates seamlessly with legacy LIN 1.x nodes and newer implementations without protocol translation. This ensures backward compatibility in mixed-generation vehicle architectures where the TJA1128DTK/1Z serves as a drop-in upgrade for older LIN transceivers.
How does the TJA1128DTK/1Z implement limp home functionality?
The TJA1128DTK/1Z asserts limp home automatically on four hardware-detected faults: overtemperature (>+150 °C), watchdog service failure, VCC undervoltage, or RSTN shorted to ground. When triggered, it drives the HVMPO pin as an open-drain output to activate backup circuits (e.g., mechanical fallbacks or warning indicators) without MCU intervention. This behavior is hardwired and remains active even if the MCU is nonfunctional - a critical safety feature confirmed in the TJA1128DTK/1Z datasheet Section 2.1.
Can the TJA1128DTK/1Z operate with a 5 V microcontroller supply?
No - the TJA1128DTK/1Z variant is factory-configured for 3.3 V LDO output (±2 % accuracy, 85 mA). While the broader TJA1128 family includes 5.0 V variants (e.g., TJA1128A/C/E/G), the specific part number TJA1128DTK/1Z is designated as the 3.3 V, dual-WAKE, watchdog-enabled version per NXP's ordering table. Using it with a 5 V MCU would require external level-shifting or voltage translation, as its VCC pin delivers only 3.3 V.
What is the purpose of the HVMPO pin on the TJA1128DTK/1Z?
The HVMPO (High-Voltage Multipurpose Output) pin on the TJA1128DTK/1Z is a programmable open-drain output supporting seven modes via SPI register MPOMOD: limp home driver, cyclic wake bias control, GPI-controlled switch, or state-dependent activation (e.g., only in NORMAL mode). Its design replaces discrete external circuitry for bias generation, fail-safe actuation, or wake coordination - directly reducing board area and improving reliability in automotive LIN nodes.
How does wake-up source recognition work in the TJA1128DTK/1Z?
The TJA1128DTK/1Z identifies wake sources through dedicated status flags readable in PORT mode: WUF1/WUR1 (WAKE1 edge detection), WUF2/WUR2 (WAKE2 edge detection), and LIN (bus wake event). These flags are captured synchronously and transmitted serially on RXD using UART-like framing (8N1, start/stop bits) when 0x55 is written to TXD. This allows the MCU to determine the exact cause of wake-up before exiting low-power mode - a feature verified in Section 7.2.3 and Table 5 of the TJA1128DTK/1Z datasheet.
