Product details
Overview
TLE6251DXUMA1 from Infineon is a high-speed CAN transceiver compliant with ISO 11898-2/-5, serving as the physical-layer interface between CAN controllers and differential bus lines. It supports data rates up to 1 Mbps, features bus wake-up detection via RxD signal change, operates across extended VCC (4.5–27 V) and VIO (3.0–5.5 V) supply ranges, and delivers <10 µA quiescent current in stand-by mode. It is deployed in automotive gateway modules requiring robust ESD immunity (±8 kV HBM), low EME, and fail-safe operation under load dump.
For engineers reviewing the TLE6251DXUMA1 datasheet, TLE6251DXUMA1 pinout, TLE6251DXUMA1 application, or TLE6251DXUMA1 equivalent, this page provides verified functional context, validated pin roles, confirmed automotive-grade operating parameters, and real-world use cases in mixed-supply CAN networks - all grounded in Infineon's AEC-Q100-qualified specification Rev. 1.11 (2019).
Technical Context
The TLE6251DXUMA1 implements a dual-mode architecture: normal-operating mode enables full-duplex HS-CAN communication with controlled slew-rate outputs on CANH/CANL, while stand-by mode disables VCC supply path but retains wake-up capability via low-leakage receiver monitoring of bus transitions. Its internal logic uses VIO-referenced thresholds for TxD/RxD/STB, enabling interoperability with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.
Fail-safe functions include TxD time-out (prevents bus lock-up during controller fault), overtemperature shutdown (>150 °C), short-circuit protection on CANH/CANL to ground/battery/VCC, and undervoltage detection on VCC and VIO. The device achieves ±8 kV ESD immunity per IEC 61000-4-2 and meets stringent automotive EMI/EME requirements through symmetrical driver design and Smart Power Technology (SPT) integration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bus Data Rate | Up to 1 Mbps - supports real-time control in high-bandwidth automotive networks like powertrain and ADAS domains. |
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.5 V to 27 V - accommodates wide battery voltage range including cold-crank (4.5 V) and load-dump (27 V) conditions. |
| Digital Supply (VIO) | 3.0 V to 5.5 V - adapts logic-level thresholds to match MCU I/O rails without external translators. |
| Stand-by Current | <10 µA - enables ultra-low-power sleep states in always-on ECUs such as body control modules. |
| Common-Mode Range | −27 V to +40 V - ensures reliable operation under severe electromagnetic interference and ground offset in vehicle harnesses. |
| ESD Immunity | ±8 kV HBM - protects against human-body-model electrostatic discharge during assembly and service. |

Pinout & Package
Package: PG-DSO-8 (RoHS-compliant, exposed thermal pad, 150 °C max junction temperature).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 TxD | Transmit data input | CMOS-compatible input with internal VIO-referenced pull-up; dominant state = low; controls bus differential output. |
| 2 GND | Ground reference | Primary analog/digital return path; decoupling capacitor required at VCC and VIO pins. |
| 3 VCC | Transceiver power supply | Can be powered down in stand-by mode; requires 100 nF ceramic decoupling to GND. |
| 4 RxD | Receive data output | CMOS-compatible output referenced to VIO; dominant state = low; used for wake-up detection in stand-by. |
| 5 VIO | Digital I/O supply | Sets logic thresholds for TxD, RxD, STB; must be connected to MCU I/O rail (3.3 V or 5 V). |
| 6 CANL | CAN bus low terminal | Differential bus I/O; "low" during dominant state; short-circuit protected to ground, battery, and VCC. |
| 7 CANH | CAN bus high terminal | Differential bus I/O; "high" during dominant state; matched slew rate with CANL for low EME. |
| 8 STB | Stand-by mode control | Active-low input with internal VIO-referenced pull-up; drives device into stand-by when high. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bus wake-up detection | Enabled in stand-by mode via RxD signal transition - eliminates need for external wake-up circuitry in always-on gateways. |
| VIO voltage adaptation | Supports 3.3 V and 5 V MCUs without level shifters - simplifies board layout and reduces BOM count in mixed-voltage ECUs. |
| TxD time-out function | Automatically forces recessive bus state after ~1.5 ms of continuous dominant TxD - prevents bus lock-up during MCU hang/fault. |
| Power-down bus leakage | <1 µA on CANH/CANL - ensures passive behavior and network integrity in partially-supplied CAN topologies. |
| Overtemperature protection | Thermal shutdown at >150 °C with automatic recovery - maintains reliability in high-ambient under-hood environments. |

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 stand-by current (3 µA), no VIO pin - logic levels fixed to VCC; lacks RxD-based wake-up detection. | Preferred in cost-sensitive, single-rail 5 V systems where MCU voltage matching is not required. | Select when lowest possible quiescent current is prioritized and VIO adaptability is unnecessary. |
| ST TLE6250G | Legacy pinout (SO-8), no STB pin - stand-by triggered only by VCC removal; lacks TxD time-out and VIO flexibility. | Suitable for retrofit designs using older PCB footprints and simpler wake-up schemes. | Choose only for backward compatibility with existing TLE6250-based layouts and non-wake-up-critical nodes. |
Compared with NXP TJA1042T/3 and ST TLE6250G, the TLE6251DXUMA1 uniquely combines VIO-adaptive logic, RxD-triggered wake-up, and integrated TxD time-out - making it optimal for new-generation automotive ECUs demanding mixed-supply support, fail-safe autonomy, and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 operation.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the VIO pin on the TLE6251DXUMA1?
The VIO pin supplies the digital I/O interface and sets logic thresholds for TxD, RxD, and STB pins. It enables direct compatibility with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers without external level shifters. A 100 nF decoupling capacitor to GND is mandatory, and VIO must remain powered during stand-by mode to maintain wake-up functionality.
How does the TLE6251DXUMA1 achieve bus wake-up in stand-by mode?
In stand-by mode, the TLE6251DXUMA1 disables its main transmitter but keeps a low-power receiver active. Wake-up is triggered by a signal transition on the RxD output - reflecting a dominant-to-recessive or recessive-to-dominant change on the CAN bus - which asserts an interrupt to the connected microcontroller via RxD.
Does the TLE6251DXUMA1 support partial networking or mixed-supply CAN topologies?
Yes. The device supports partially-supplied networks via ultra-low CANH/CANL leakage current (<1 µA) in power-down state and high-impedance receiver inputs. This ensures non-intrusive bus behavior when some nodes are unpowered, preserving communication integrity across heterogeneous ECU supply configurations.
What protection features prevent damage during automotive transients?
The TLE6251DXUMA1 integrates protection against load dump (up to +27 V on VCC), reverse battery (−27 V on CANH/CANL), ESD (±8 kV HBM), and short circuits on CANH/CANL to ground, battery, or VCC. Overtemperature shutdown (>150 °C) and undervoltage lockout on VCC/VIO further ensure safe operation under fault conditions.
