Product details
Overview
TLE8261EXUMA3 from Infineon Technologies is a monolithic Universal System Basis Chip (SBC) for automotive CAN network nodes, integrating a high-speed CAN transceiver (ISO 11898-2/5 compliant), three LDO voltage regulators (Vcc1µC/Vcc2/Vcc3), SPI-configurable watchdog/reset supervision, wake-up input, and open-drain Limp Home output. It delivers 200 mA @ 5 V ±2% on Vcc1µC and Vcc2, supports up to 1 MBaud CAN data rate, and operates across −40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the TLE8261EXUMA3 datasheet, TLE8261EXUMA3 pinout, TLE8261EXUMA3 application, or TLE8261EXUMA3 equivalent, key selection criteria include CAN bus fault tolerance (short-circuit proof to battery/GND), low-quiescent-current sleep mode (<30 µA), configurable watchdog timeout (16–1024 ms), and AEC-Q100 qualification for body control modules and gateway ECUs.
Technical Context
The TLE8261EXUMA3 implements a state-machine-driven SBC architecture with dedicated hardware blocks: a HS-CAN transceiver powered by VccHSCAN, dual 5 V LDOs (Vcc1µC and Vcc2) each rated 200 mA with ±2% accuracy, and a shunt-regulated Vcc3 output supporting up to 400 mA via external PNP transistor. All regulators feature overtemperature and short-circuit protection.
Supervision logic includes a window/watchdog timer configurable via 16-bit SPI, a reset output (RO) with integrated pull-up, and a bi-level wake-up input (WK) enabling cyclic wake in Stop Mode. The Limp Home output activates under critical failure (e.g., Vcc1µC undervoltage timeout) and is driven by dedicated internal logic supply for fail-safe operation.
Key Specifications

| 1 RO | Reset Input/Output | Open-drain active-low reset signal with integrated pull-up; asserts system reset on Vcc1µC undervoltage or watchdog timeout. |
| 2 CSN | SPI Chip Select | Active-low enable for SPI communication; requires CLK to be low before assertion to prevent data corruption. |
| 3 CLK | SPI Clock Input | CMOS-level clock input with internal pull-down; synchronizes 16-bit SPI register reads/writes for configuration and status monitoring. |
| 4 SDI | SPI Data Input | Receives command bytes (e.g., watchdog setup, interrupt mask) from host MCU; validated against checksum for integrity. |
| 5 SDO | SPI Data Output | Transmits device status (e.g., CAN error flags, regulator faults, WK event latch) back to host MCU in real time. |
| 17 Vcc3shunt | Vcc3 Shunt Resistor Connection | Connects external 220 mΩ shunt to set current limit for Vcc3 output; enables scalable auxiliary power up to 400 mA. |

| 21 Vcc3REF | Vcc3 Reference Voltage | Internal 5 V reference used to regulate Vcc3 via external PNP; decouples Vcc3 accuracy from shunt resistor tolerance. |
| 24 WK | Wake-Up Input | Bi-level sensitive input enabling wake from Sleep/Stop modes via CAN message, external signal, or SPI command. |
| 25 RxDCAN | CAN Receiver Data Input | Differential receiver input tied to CAN_L; complements TxDCAN for full-duplex HS-CAN communication per ISO 11898-2. |
| 26 TxDCAN | CAN Transmitter Data Output | Differential driver output tied to CAN_H; drives CAN_H/CAN_L bus pair with controlled slew rate for EMC compliance. |
| 27 n.c. | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or ESD path disruption. |
| 28 Limp home | Limp Home Output | Open-drain safety output activated during critical failures (e.g., Vcc1µC UVLO); drives external fail-safe circuitry. |
| 29 INT | Interrupt Output | Active-low push-pull interrupt signal indicating events like WK detection, CAN error, or regulator fault; filterable to prevent chatter. |
| 30 Vs | Main Supply Input | Battery-supplied input (5.5–28 V); powers internal regulators and CAN transceiver; includes reverse-polarity and load-dump protection. |
| 31 Vcc2 | Secondary Regulator Output | 5 V ±2%, 200 mA output dedicated to internal HS-CAN cell and optional external peripherals; isolated from Vcc1µC domain. |
| 32 VccHSCAN | CAN Transceiver Supply | Dedicated 5 V supply input for HS-CAN transceiver; enables independent power cycling and fault containment. |
| 33 SPLIT | CAN Common-Mode Stabilization | Connects to center-tap of common-mode choke; reduces electromagnetic emissions and improves bus immunity per ISO 11898-2. |
| 34 CANL | CAN Low Bus Line | Differential CAN bus line referenced to GND; short-circuit proof to battery and GND; supports bus wake-up detection. |
| 35 CANH | CAN High Bus Line | Differential CAN bus line referenced to GND; short-circuit proof to battery and GND; supports bus wake-up detection. |
| 36 Test | Development Mode Enable | Enables SBC SW Development Mode when pulled high; disables watchdog reset assertion for debug sessions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar system basis chip applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP MC33816 | Single 5 V LDO (250 mA), no Vcc3 shunt option; integrated LIN physical layer (absent in TLE8261EXUMA3). | Targeted at LIN-centric body nodes; lacks Vcc3 flexibility for multi-transceiver CAN designs. | Select when LIN interface is mandatory and auxiliary power scalability is not required. |
| Renesas RAA270020 | Supports CAN FD (5 Mbps), includes embedded EEPROM for configuration storage; higher quiescent current (55 µA in sleep mode). | Suitable for next-gen gateways requiring CAN FD bandwidth and non-volatile settings retention. | Select when future-proofing for CAN FD or eliminating external EEPROM is prioritized over ultra-low sleep current. |
Compared with MC33816 and RAA270020, the TLE8261EXUMA3 uniquely balances triple-LDO flexibility, sub-30 µA sleep current, and proven AEC-Q100 reliability for cost-sensitive CAN-only body electronics-without adding LIN or CAN FD complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage on the Vs pin?
The Vs pin accepts 5.5 V to 28 V DC, with absolute maximum rating of 40 V for transient load dump conditions per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. Internal protection circuitry clamps voltage above 34 V and limits energy dissipation to prevent damage during automotive load dump events.
Can the Limp Home output drive an external relay directly?
No-the Limp Home pin is an open-drain output rated for 100 mA sink current at 5 V. It requires an external pull-up to Vcc1µC or Vcc2 and a driver stage (e.g., NPN transistor or MOSFET) to energize relays or high-current loads; direct relay connection risks exceeding safe operating area.
How is CAN bus wake-up detected in Sleep Mode?
In Sleep Mode, the HS-CAN transceiver remains partially active and monitors differential voltage on CANH/CANL. A dominant bit (CANH > CANL by ≥0.9 V) lasting ≥120 ns triggers wake-up, asserting the WK signal internally and transitioning the SBC to Standby Mode within 10 µs.
Does the SPI interface support daisy-chaining multiple TLE8261EXUMA3 devices?
No-each TLE8261EXUMA3 requires a dedicated CSN line; the SPI is point-to-point only. Daisy-chaining is unsupported due to lack of SPI output-enable control on SDO and absence of hardware address decoding in the protocol stack.
