Product details
Overview
TLE7257LEXUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is an AEC-Q100 qualified LIN transceiver for automotive local interconnect networks, supporting up to 20 kbps data rate, compliant with ISO 17987-4 and SAE J2602, featuring Sleep mode current <10 µA, BUS short-to-VBAT/GND protection, and 3.3 V/5 V logic compatibility. It serves as the physical layer interface between microcontroller UART and single-wire LIN bus in body electronics modules.
For engineers reviewing the TLE7257LEXUMA1 datasheet, TLE7257LEXUMA1 pinout, TLE7257LEXUMA1 application, or TLE7257LEXUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include LIN bus wake-up sensitivity, dominant time-out behavior, INH-controlled external regulator sequencing, and PG-TSON-8 thermal performance in constrained ECU layouts.
Technical Context
The TLE7257LEXUMA1 implements a BiCMOS-based LIN physical layer with integrated driver/receiver, wake-up receiver, and mode control logic. Its EN pin governs Normal/Standby/Sleep transitions, while INH provides battery-referenced enable signaling for external power management.
It features a BUS pin with integrated slave termination, RxD with internal RF filter for noise immunity, and TxD with dominant time-out and state-check after mode change. The device supports LIN master configuration via external 1 kΩ + diode termination and meets ISO 7637-2 transient robustness and IEC61000-4-2 ±10 kV ESD requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 20 kbps - Enables full compliance with LIN 2.2A timing budgets for body control messaging. |
| Sleep Current | <10 µA typical - Allows permanent battery connection in always-on vehicle domains without excessive drain. |
| BUS Leakage | <1 µA at 25 °C - Supports partial network supply schemes where only wake-capable nodes remain active. |
| ESD Robustness | ±10 kV HBM (IEC61000-4-2) - Eliminates need for external TVS on LIN bus in most automotive harness environments. |
| Supply Range | 5.5 V to 27 V - Covers cold-crank (5.5 V) to load-dump (27 V) conditions without external regulation. |
| Logic Compatibility | 3.3 V and 5 V MCU I/O - Direct interfacing with both legacy and modern automotive microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165 °C activation - Protects against latch-up during sustained overcurrent or ambient overheating in sealed ECUs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TSON-8 (leadless, exposed thermal pad), RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q100 qualified. Thermal pad (PAD1) must be connected to PCB ground plane for optimal junction temperature control.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RxD | Receiver output | Open-drain output requiring external pull-up; reflects bus state to MCU with RF filtering for EMC immunity. |
| EN | Enable input | Integrated pull-down; high-level entry into Normal Operation mode, controls all functional states. |
| N.C. | No connect | Internally unconnected pin; no PCB trace or solder required. |
| TxD | Transmit input | Internal pull-up current source; low-level assertion drives dominant bus state; includes time-out safety. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary signal and power return; connects to thermal pad (PAD1) for heat dissipation. |
| BUS | Single-wire LIN bus interface | Integrated slave termination; handles short-to-VBAT/GND faults; bidirectional signal path. |
| VS | Battery supply input | Requires 100 nF decoupling capacitor; powers internal regulator and driver stages across full automotive range. |
| INH | Inhibit output | Battery-referenced open-drain output; enables/disable external voltage regulators in sync with transceiver mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dominant time-out protection | Prevents bus lock-up by forcing recessive state if TxD remains low beyond programmable timeout window. |
| Wake-up capable Sleep mode | Detects LIN bus activity while drawing <10 µA, enabling fast system wake without MCU polling. |
| INH-controlled power sequencing | Drives external LDOs or DC/DC converters only during Normal/Standby modes, reducing standby power. |
| Integrated BUS termination | Eliminates need for external 30 kΩ slave resistor, simplifying layout and improving signal integrity. |
| Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) support | PG-TSON-8 package geometry and pad layout optimized for post-reflow solder joint inspection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LIN transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLIN1029QDRBRQ1 | Higher ESD (±15 kV), integrated VIO regulator for flexible logic levels, but larger SOIC-8 package. | Preferred for new designs requiring extended ESD margin and mixed-voltage MCU interfaces. | Select when board space permits larger footprint and higher ESD robustness is critical for exterior modules. |
| ATA663211-GBAQW | Lower Sleep current (3 µA), integrated watchdog timer, but lacks INH output and requires external termination. | Suitable for ultra-low-power sensor nodes where external regulator control is unnecessary. | Choose for battery-powered LIN sensors where INH functionality is unused and minimum quiescent current is prioritized. |
Compared with TLIN1029QDRBRQ1 and ATA663211-GBAQW, the TLE7257LEXUMA1 uniquely balances compact PG-TSON-8 thermal performance, INH-driven power sequencing, and proven field reliability in body control units-making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding ECUs requiring coordinated subsystem power management.

FAQ
What is the function of the INH pin on the TLE7257LEXUMA1?
The INH (Inhibit) pin is a battery-referenced open-drain output that goes active-high during Normal and Standby modes. It is designed to directly enable external voltage regulators or DC/DC converters, allowing the transceiver to coordinate power delivery to associated MCU peripherals only when LIN communication is active or ready-reducing system-level standby power consumption.
Does the TLE7257LEXUMA1 require an external pull-up resistor on the RxD pin?
Yes, the RxD pin is an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10 kΩ to VIO) to establish a valid logic-high level when the bus is recessive. This pull-up also enables wake-up detection in Standby mode, where RxD transitions low upon bus activity to signal the MCU.
How does the TLE7257LEXUMA1 handle bus short-circuit conditions?
The TLE7257LEXUMA1 detects and withstands both BUS-to-VBAT and BUS-to-GND shorts. During a short-to-VBAT, internal circuitry limits current and maintains functional isolation; during a short-to-GND, the driver enters safe shutdown while preserving receiver wake-up capability. Thermal shutdown activates if junction temperature exceeds 165 °C.
Can the TLE7257LEXUMA1 be used in a LIN master node configuration?
Yes, but requires external components: a 1 kΩ pull-up resistor and a diode connected between BUS and VS. This configuration satisfies LIN master termination requirements per ISO 17987-4. The transceiver itself operates identically in master/slave roles-the distinction is implemented externally via termination topology.
