Product details
Overview
TJA1128ETK/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. It supports ISO 17987-4:2016, LIN 2.2A, and SAE J2602 in automotive body electronics such as door modules and seat control units.
For engineers reviewing the TJA1128ETK/1Z datasheet, TJA1128ETK/1Z pinout, TJA1128ETK/1Z application, or TJA1128ETK/1Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its 14 µA SLEEP-mode current, configurable cyclic wake-up via HVMPO, LIN high-speed mode support (>20 kBd), limp-home fault response, and HVSON14 package compatibility with AOI inspection.
Technical Context
The TJA1128ETK/1Z implements a state-machine–driven system controller supporting nine operating modes-including NORMAL, STANDBY, SLEEP, CONFIG, and OVERTEMP-with deterministic transitions governed by EN, STBN, RSTN, and wake-event flags. Its LIN transceiver includes integrated termination for responder applications and TXD dominant time-out protection.
Internal clock sources drive both the window watchdog (16–128 ms selectable period) and synchronized bias control for cyclic wake-up via HVMPO. The LDO delivers ±2 % accurate 5.0 V output with undervoltage reset and short-circuit protection to GND, while thermal shutdown activates at +150 °C virtual junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| LDO Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2 % - powers 5 V microcontrollers with tight regulation under load and line variation |
| LDO Output Current | 85 mA - sufficient for typical automotive MCUs and peripheral logic in door/seat modules |
| SLEEP Mode Current | Typ. 14 µA - enables ultra-low-power battery-off operation in always-on vehicle networks |
| LIN Baud Rate | Up to 20 kBd standard; >20 kBd in high-speed mode - supports legacy and enhanced LIN data throughput |
| Watchdog Modes | Window, Timeout, Autonomous - provides flexible safety monitoring independent of MCU clock |
| Wake Sources | Remote (LIN bus), local (WAKE1/WAKE2 edge-triggered), and cyclic (HVMPO-synchronized) - ensures robust wake capability across sleep states |
| Package | HVSON14 (3.0 × 4.5 × 0.85 mm) - leadless, thermally enhanced, AOI-compatible for high-reliability automotive PCB assembly |
Pinout & Package
HVSON14 package: 3.0 mm × 4.5 mm × 0.85 mm body, exposed thermal pad (to be soldered to GND), no leads, 14 terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 TXD (SDI) | LIN transmit input / SPI data input | Drives LIN bus during transmission; repurposed as SPI data-in during CONFIG mode |
| 2 EN (SCK) | Enable input / SPI clock input | Controls mode entry (e.g., CONFIG); serves as SPI clock when STBN is low |
| 3 RSTN | Bidirectional reset I/O | Active-low reset signal with programmable pulse width (4 ms or 700 µs) for controlled MCU boot |
| 4 RXD (SDO) | LIN receive output / SPI data output | Delivers LIN data or wake-source status; outputs serial PORT-mode flags on falling-start-bit framing |
| 5 STBN (SCSN) | Standby control / SPI chip select | Active-low input selecting STANDBY/NORMAL; acts as SPI chip select in CONFIG mode |
| 6 WWD | Watchdog trigger input | Accepts periodic service pulses; failure triggers limp-home or reset depending on configuration |

| 8 VCC | LDO regulated output | 5.0 V power rail for MCU and logic; includes undervoltage detection with RSTN assertion |
| 9 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path; exposed center pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal/electrical performance |
| 10 LIN | LIN bus transceiver I/O | Analog bidirectional interface compliant with ISO 17987-4; includes integrated 30 kΩ termination for responders |
| 11 BAT | Battery supply input | Accepts 5–28 V DC; protected against load dump up to +43 V and ISO 7637 transients |
| 12 WAKE2 | Local wake-up input 2 | Level-sensitive input with configurable edge detection; supports cyclic sampling synchronized to HVMPO |
| 13 WAKE1 | Local wake-up input 1 | Independent level-sensitive input with identical configuration options to WAKE2 |
| 14 HVMPO | High-voltage multipurpose open-drain output | Configurable as limp-home driver, cyclic wake bias source, GPI-controlled output, or state-dependent signal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LIN Transceiver Compliance | Fully compliant with ISO 17987-4:2016, LIN 2.2A, and SAE J2602 - ensures interoperability in multi-vendor automotive networks |
| Configurable Wake Architecture | Three independent wake paths (bus, local pins, cyclic HVMPO) with source identification - eliminates ambiguity in wake-event root-cause analysis |
| Limp-Home Functionality | Automatic activation on overtemperature, watchdog timeout, VCC undervoltage, or RSTN short-to-ground - maintains basic functionality during faults |
| Quasi-One-Time SPI Configuration | Factory-default settings stored in MTPNVM with CRC-protected programming - prevents accidental reconfiguration in production |
| Automotive Qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C), ±8 kV HBM ESD on LIN, load-dump tolerant to +43 V - meets OEM requirements for under-hood deployment |

FAQ
What is the nominal LDO output voltage of the TJA1128ETK/1Z?
The TJA1128ETK/1Z is configured as a 5.0 V variant, delivering a regulated 5.0 V ±2 % output capable of supplying up to 85 mA to external microcontrollers and logic. This matches common automotive MCU voltage requirements and eliminates the need for an external regulator in many LIN endpoint designs.
How does the TJA1128ETK/1Z support wake-up from ultra-low-power SLEEP mode?
The TJA1128ETK/1Z supports wake-up from SLEEP mode via three independent paths: remote LIN bus activity, local edge-triggered events on WAKE1/WAKE2, and cyclic wake signals generated through the HVMPO output. All wake sources are identifiable in PORT mode, enabling precise firmware response without MCU polling.
Can the TJA1128ETK/1Z be used in systems requiring LIN high-speed operation above 20 kBd?
Yes - the TJA1128ETK/1Z supports LIN high-speed mode (enabled via HSMODE bits in the LIN register), allowing baud rates exceeding 20 kBd with fast slope control. This mode is essential for time-critical diagnostics or firmware updates while maintaining full ISO 17987-4:2016 compliance.
What fault conditions trigger the limp-home function in the TJA1128ETK/1Z?
The limp-home function in the TJA1128ETK/1Z activates automatically on four confirmed fault conditions: overtemperature (>+150 °C), watchdog service failure, VCC undervoltage, or RSTN short-circuit to ground. When triggered, the HVMPO output drives limp-home indicators or mechanical fallbacks without MCU involvement.
Is the TJA1128ETK/1Z pin-compatible with other variants in the TJA1128 family?
Yes - all TJA1128 variants, including TJA1128ETK/1Z, share identical HVSON14 pinout and footprint. Differences between variants (e.g., 3.3 V vs. 5.0 V LDO, single vs. dual WAKE, watchdog presence) are implemented via factory-programmed MTPNVM configuration, not hardware changes.
