Product details
Overview
UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a LIN core System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating a LIN 2.2A/SAE J2602 transceiver, 3.3 V ±2 % voltage regulator delivering up to 250 mA, advanced independent watchdog with Window/Timeout/Off modes, SPI interface, dual local wake-up inputs (WAKE1/WAKE2), and limp home output (LIMP). It replaces discrete ECU power, communication, and safety functions in automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 datasheet, UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 pinout, UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 application, or UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, thermal-aware regulator behavior, LIN bus fault protection (±58 V short-circuit, ISO 7637-3 transient immunity), and mode-controlled wake-up sequencing for ECU power management validation.
Technical Context
The UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 implements a state-machine-based system controller managing Off/Standby/Normal/Sleep/Overtemp transitions triggered by VBAT thresholds, LIN activity, wake-up pins, or temperature events. Its LIN transceiver supports low-slope mode (10.4 kbit/s) for EMC optimization and includes integrated termination diode at DLIN.
Power management combines V1 regulation with external PNP transistor control via VEXCTRL/VEXCC pins, enabling scalable current delivery and PCB-level thermal distribution. The watchdog uses an on-chip oscillator independent of V1, supporting programmable periods (8–4096 ms) and configurable reset behavior per mode.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LIN SBC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UJA1076ATW/3V3,118 | Single wake-up input (WAKE1 only); no LIMP output; identical LIN transceiver and 3.3 V regulator specs. | Targeted at cost-optimized modules where limp-home capability and dual wake-up are not required. | Select UJA1076ATW/3V3,118 when system-level fault containment does not mandate LIMP or second wake channel. |
| TLE9471-2ES | 5 V regulator only; integrates CAN transceiver alongside LIN; higher quiescent current in Standby (>150 µA). | Designed for mixed LIN/CAN gateways or nodes requiring dual-bus connectivity in powertrain or chassis domains. | Choose TLE9471-2ES only if CAN interface co-location is mandatory and 5 V MCU supply suffices. |
Compared with UJA1079ATW/3V3,118, UJA1076ATW/3V3,118 reduces feature set for cost-sensitive applications, while TLE9471-2ES adds CAN but sacrifices 3.3 V regulation and ultra-low standby current - making UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 optimal for dedicated 3.3 V LIN nodes demanding fail-safe limp-home and dual wake-up.

FAQ
What LIN protocol versions does the UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 support?
The UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 supports LIN 2.2A and SAE J2602 as primary standards, with full backward compatibility to LIN 2.2, LIN 2.1, LIN 2.0, and LIN 1.0–1.3. This ensures seamless integration into legacy and next-generation LIN networks without firmware or hardware adaptation for protocol layer changes.
Does the UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 include a watchdog, and how is it configured?
Yes, the UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 includes an advanced independent watchdog with Window, Timeout, and Off modes. It is configured via the WD_and_Status register (bits WMC and NWP) and can be disabled via the WDOFF pin. The default watchdog period is 128 ms, and its oscillator is powered independently from V1 for guaranteed operation during regulator faults.
Can the UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 supply more than 250 mA to the microcontroller?
Yes, the UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 supports extended current delivery beyond 250 mA using an external PNP transistor controlled via VEXCTRL and monitored via VEXCC. The threshold for activating the external transistor is programmable (50 mA or 85 mA rising edge), enabling scalable power delivery while distributing thermal load across the PCB.
How does the UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 handle overtemperature conditions?
When die temperature exceeds Tth(act)otp, the UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 enters Overtemp mode: V1 is disabled, LIN bus goes high-impedance, RSTN is driven LOW, and LIMP is asserted LOW. Exit requires temperature to fall below Tth(rel)otp hysteresis, after which a system reset occurs and the device returns to Standby mode - ensuring fail-safe thermal protection.
What is the purpose of the LIMP pin on the UJA1079ATW/3V3,118?
The LIMP pin on the UJA1079ATW/3V3,118 is an active-low fail-safe output that activates during critical failures - including overtemperature, V1 undervoltage, or software-detected system faults. When asserted, it triggers hardware-level 'limp home' functionality (e.g., mechanical backup actuation), supporting ASIL-B safety goals without MCU intervention.
