Product details
Overview
UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J from NXP Semiconductors is a LIN core System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating a LIN 2.2A transceiver, 3.3 V ±2 % voltage regulator (250 mA), advanced watchdog with Window/Timeout/Off modes, SPI interface, and dual local wake-up inputs. It serves as the power management and communication hub for automotive ECUs in body control modules, door modules, and seat control units.
For engineers reviewing the UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J datasheet, UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J pinout, UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J application, or UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, thermal-aware regulator behavior, LIN bus fault protection (±58 V short-circuit proof), and precise wake-up source detection logic - all critical for ECU reliability validation and ISO 26262-compliant system design.
Technical Context
The UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J implements a state-machine-based system controller managing Off/Standby/Normal/Sleep/Overtemp mode transitions triggered by VBAT thresholds, LIN activity, or local wake-up events. Its LIN transceiver supports low-slope mode (10.4 kbit/s) for optimized EMC and includes integrated termination diode at DLIN.
Power management features include V1 undervoltage warning at 90 % of nominal output, selectable reset threshold (90 % or 70 %), and external PNP transistor control via VEXCTRL/VEXCC pins with programmable activation current thresholds (50 mA/85 mA). The on-chip oscillator independently clocks the watchdog, decoupling timing integrity from V1 stability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LIN SBC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UJA1076ATW/3V3/1J | Single wake-up input (WAKE1 only); no LIMP output; identical LIN transceiver and 3.3 V regulator specs. | Suitable for cost-sensitive nodes without limp-home requirement or dual-sensor wake-up needs. | Select when system-level fail-safe output and second wake channel are unnecessary; reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| TLE9263BQX | 5 V regulator only; integrates CAN FD transceiver alongside LIN; higher quiescent current in Standby (>150 µA). | Targeted at mixed LIN/CAN domains (e.g., gateway modules); not drop-in for pure LIN nodes requiring 3.3 V supply. | Choose when co-location of LIN and CAN FD is required; avoid if 3.3 V regulation or ultra-low standby current (<100 µA) is mandatory. |
Compared with UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J, UJA1076ATW/3V3/1J reduces feature set for cost savings but sacrifices limp-home safety and dual wake-up flexibility, while TLE9263BQX adds CAN FD at the expense of 3.3 V support and higher static current - making UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J optimal for dedicated, safety-conscious LIN nodes demanding 3.3 V regulation and thermal resilience.

FAQ
What LIN protocol versions does the UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J support?
The UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J supports LIN 2.2A and SAE J2602, and is fully backward compatible with LIN 2.2, LIN 2.1, LIN 2.0, and LIN 1.3 through LIN 1.0. This broad compatibility ensures seamless integration into both legacy and next-generation automotive LIN networks without firmware updates to the master node.
How does the UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J handle undervoltage conditions on its V1 output?
The UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J provides two-tiered V1 monitoring: an undervoltage warning flag (V1S bit) asserts when output drops below 90 % of nominal (2.97 V), and a reset is triggered at either 90 % or 70 % (2.31 V) depending on RTHC bit setting. The reset pulse width is externally configurable via the RSTN pull-up resistor, enabling precise MCU reset timing alignment.
Can the UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J drive more than 250 mA to the microcontroller?
Yes - the UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J supports external current boosting via an external PNP transistor connected to VEXCTRL and VEXCC pins. With programmable activation thresholds (50 mA or 85 mA rising/falling), it seamlessly extends output capability beyond 250 mA while distributing thermal load across the PCB, maintaining safe junction temperatures under sustained load.
What is the purpose of the DLIN pin on the UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J?
The DLIN pin on the UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J connects to an external 1 kΩ termination resistor and integrates a built-in diode that replaces the discrete diode traditionally required in LIN bus node designs. This reduces component count, simplifies PCB layout, and improves reliability by eliminating a potential failure point in the LIN termination network.
Does the UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J support wake-up from Sleep mode using only the LIN bus?
Yes - the UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J supports LIN bus wake-up from Sleep mode when STBCL = 1 (Lowpower mode enabled). In this configuration, the LIN transceiver remains in a low-power listening state with wake-up detection active, allowing the SBC to transition to Standby mode and assert a system reset upon valid LIN header detection - all while consuming <20 µA.
How is watchdog behavior configured in Standby mode on the UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J?
In Standby mode, the UJA1079ATW/3V3/1J watchdog operates in Timeout mode if WMC = 0, or Off mode if WMC = 1. The WDOFF pin overrides software control: pulling it HIGH disables the watchdog regardless of WMC, and any change in WDOFF state triggers an immediate system reset - ensuring deterministic fault response even during low-power states.
