Product details
Overview
UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J from NXP Semiconductors is a LIN core System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating a LIN 2.2A/SAE J2602 transceiver, 5 V ±2 % voltage regulator delivering up to 250 mA, advanced independent watchdog with Window/Timeout/Off modes, full-duplex SPI interface, and dual local wake-up inputs - designed for automotive ECU power management and communication in body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J datasheet, UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J pinout, UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J application, or UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J equivalent, key selection criteria include LIN bus fault tolerance (±58 V short-circuit proof), ISO 7637-3 transient protection, 6.1 mm × 11 mm HTSSOP32 thermal performance, and configurable limp-home output for fail-safe operation.
Technical Context
The UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J implements a state-machine-based system controller managing Off/Standby/Normal/Sleep/Overtemp mode transitions triggered by VBAT thresholds, wake events, or software commands. Its LIN transceiver supports low-slope mode (10.4 kbit/s) for EMC optimization and includes integrated termination diode at DLIN.
Power management features include dual wake-up inputs (WAKE1/WAKE2) with selectable 16 ms/64 ms sampling via WBIAS, V1 undervoltage detection at 90 % nominal output, and external PNP transistor support with programmable activation thresholds (50–85 mA). The watchdog uses an on-chip oscillator independent of V1 and supports cyclic interrupt generation.

FAQ
What LIN protocol versions does the UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J support?
The UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J supports LIN 2.2A and SAE J2602 as primary standards, with full backward compatibility down to LIN 1.0. It also complies with LIN 2.0, LIN 2.1, LIN 2.2, LIN 2.2A, and LIN 1.3. This broad compatibility ensures seamless integration into legacy and next-generation LIN networks without protocol translation layers.
Does the UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J include built-in protection against automotive electrical transients?
Yes, the UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J includes comprehensive automotive-grade protection: ±58 V short-circuit proof LIN bus pin, ISO 7637-3 transient immunity, ±6 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD on LIN and wake-up pins, and ±8 kV HBM ESD rating. These protections eliminate the need for external TVS diodes in most standard automotive deployments.
How does the external PNP transistor extension work on the UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J?
The UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J supports external PNP transistor extension via VEXCTRL (base drive) and VEXCC (collector sense) pins. When load current exceeds the programmable threshold (50 mA or 85 mA), the SBC activates the external transistor to share current and thermal load. This maintains 5 V regulation while distributing heat across the PCB rather than concentrating it in the IC.
What is the function of the LIMP output on the UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J?
The LIMP output on the UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J is an active-LOW fail-safe signal that activates automatically during overtemperature events or when explicitly enabled via the LHC bit. It drives external hardware (e.g., relay, LED, or motor brake) to enter a defined safe state - such as holding a sunroof partially open - independent of microcontroller firmware execution.
Can the UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J operate during cold-cranking conditions?
Yes, the UJA1079ATW/5V0/1J operates down to 4.5 V on the BAT pin, meeting ISO 16750-2 cold-cranking requirements. Its V1 regulator maintains stable 5 V output even during battery dips, and the watchdog continues functioning via its VBAT-supplied on-chip oscillator - ensuring reliable ECU startup and monitoring under cranking stress.
