Product details
Overview
TLE6251DSXUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a high-speed CAN transceiver in PG-DSO-8 package, serving as the physical layer interface between CAN protocol controllers and differential bus lines per ISO/DIS 11898. It supports up to 1 Mbaud data rate, operates in 12 V/24 V automotive systems, features bus wake-up capability in standby mode, and includes TxD time-out, overtemperature protection, and split termination for recessive level stabilization.
For engineers reviewing the TLE6251DSXUMA1 datasheet, TLE6251DSXUMA1 pinout, TLE6251DSXUMA1 application, or TLE6251DSXUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include bus wake-up sensitivity, dominant-time timeout duration (tTxD), common-mode voltage range (±36 V), short-circuit robustness (to battery, ground, VCC), and AEC-Q100 qualification status for automotive deployment.
Technical Context
The TLE6251DSXUMA1 implements dual-mode operation-normal mode for active CAN communication and standby mode with ultra-low quiescent current (< 100 µA) while retaining bus-wake detection via RxD level change. Its Smart Power Technology SPT® integrates bipolar/CMOS control with DMOS power stages on a single die.
Wake-up logic responds to bus activity without external circuitry; the split termination pin stabilizes recessive common-mode voltage at VCC/2, improving signal integrity. The driver stage incorporates slope control to reduce electromagnetic emission and features built-in overtemperature shutdown with automatic recovery only after a TxD dominant-to-recessive transition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Data Rate | 1 Mbaud - enables real-time vehicle dynamics and powertrain control messaging |
| Bus Voltage Range | ±36 V common-mode - ensures robust operation under automotive load-dump and jump-start conditions |
| Standby Current | < 100 µA - allows permanent bus connection in sleep-mode ECUs without battery drain |
| TxD Time-out | tTxD = 1.5 ms typical - prevents bus lock-up during controller faults by auto-disabling driver output |
| Short-Circuit Protection | Protected to battery, ground, and VCC - eliminates need for external fuse or current-limiting resistors |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) - qualified for engine bay and transmission control unit mounting locations |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-DSO-8 (8-pin plastic dual small outline, exposed pad, RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 TxD | Transmit data input | 20 kΩ internal pull-up; dominant state = LOW; drives CANH/CANL via internal driver stage |
| 2 GND | Ground reference | Power and signal return path; must be low-inductance connection to minimize EMI |
| 3 VCC | 5 V supply input | Requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling to GND; powers internal logic and driver stages |
| 4 RxD | Receive data output | LOW in dominant state; signals wake-up event in standby mode via level change |
| 5 SPLIT | Split termination output | Drives 60 Ω split resistor network to stabilize recessive common-mode voltage at VCC/2 |
| 6 CANL | Low-side bus line | Differential receiver input and driver output; short-circuit protected to battery, ground, VCC |
| 7 CANH | High-side bus line | Differential receiver input and driver output; symmetric slew control reduces EME |
| 8 STB | Standby mode control | Internal pull-up; STB = HIGH → standby; STB = LOW → normal mode; no external pull required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Remote wake-up via CAN bus | Enables zero-power-node networks: detects bus activity while consuming < 100 µA, signaling wake via RxD toggle |
| Split termination support | Integrated SPLIT output drives external 60 Ω resistor pair to fix recessive common-mode at VCC/2, improving noise immunity |
| TxD time-out function | Auto-disables driver after 1.5 ms dominant TxD, preventing bus lock-up during MCU hang or firmware fault |
| Overtemperature shutdown | Driver deactivation above safe junction temperature; re-enables only after TxD transitions recessive, avoiding bit errors |
| Automotive transient protection | Withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 1, 2a, 3a/b and IEC 61000-4-4 EFT without external clamping components |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-tolerant CAN interface with TxD time-out and overtemperature recovery to prevent loss of steering assist. Use Value: Driver auto-recovery after thermal shutdown avoids dangerous limp-home mode interruption during sustained steering load. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed CAN transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP TJA1042T/3 | Lower standby current (30 µA), integrated VIO supply for 3.3 V controllers, no split termination pin | Lacks SPLIT pin; requires external bias network for recessive stabilization | Select when interfacing with 3.3 V MCUs and lowest possible quiescent current is critical |
| ST TLE6251-2G | Same pinout and function but with enhanced ESD rating (±8 kV HBM), identical SPLIT and wake-up behavior | Drop-in replacement with improved robustness; same PCB layout and firmware | Select when higher ESD immunity is required without design change |

FAQ
What is the purpose of the SPLIT pin on the TLE6251DSXUMA1?
The SPLIT pin provides a dedicated output to drive an external 60 Ω split termination resistor network between CANH and CANL. This actively stabilizes the recessive common-mode voltage at VCC/2, improving signal symmetry, reducing electromagnetic emissions, and enhancing noise immunity-especially critical in long or branched automotive CAN networks.
How does the TLE6251DSXUMA1 handle bus wake-up in standby mode?
In standby mode, the receiver and driver are disabled, but the wake-up logic remains active. When bus activity occurs, the differential input detects the dominant/recessive transitions and toggles the RxD output level accordingly-providing a hardware wake flag to the microcontroller without requiring continuous power to the full transceiver.
Is the TLE6251DSXUMA1 compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
Yes-the TxD and STB inputs are compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels due to their TTL/CMOS input thresholds and internal pull-ups. The RxD output is also 5 V tolerant and can interface directly with 3.3 V MCU inputs when used with appropriate level-shifting or series resistance per system requirements.
Does the TLE6251DSXUMA1 require external protection components for ISO 7637-2 compliance?
No-its integrated protection architecture withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (inductive load dump), Pulse 2a (battery disconnect), and Pulses 3a/3b (switching transients) without external TVS diodes or RC networks, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM cost while maintaining AEC-Q100 conformance.
