Product details
Overview
UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD 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, SPI interface, and dual local wake-up inputs - designed for automotive ECU power management and communication control in body electronics modules.
For engineers reviewing the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD datasheet, UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD pinout, UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD application, or UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, thermal-aware regulator behavior, LIN bus fault protection (±58 V short-circuit proof), ISO 7637-3 transient immunity, and precise wake-up source detection logic required for robust automotive sub-system design.
Technical Context
The UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD implements a state-machine-based system controller managing Off/Standby/Normal/Sleep/Overtemp mode transitions triggered by VBAT thresholds, LIN activity, local wake-up events, or temperature faults. Its LIN transceiver supports low-slope mode (10.4 kbit/s) for optimized EMC and includes integrated termination diode at DLIN.
Power management integrates V1 regulation with external PNP transistor support (VEXCTRL/VEXCC pins), programmable current threshold switching (50/85 mA activation/deactivation), and dual undervoltage monitoring (90 % warning, 70 % or 90 % reset). The on-chip oscillator independently clocks the watchdog, decoupling timing integrity from V1 stability.
Key Specifications

| DLIN (Pin 26) | LIN termination diode connection | Provides internal termination path; eliminates need for external diode in standard LIN node designs. |
| RSTN (Pin 6) | Bidirectional reset I/O | Drives LOW for system reset; accepts external LOW pulse for forced reset; reset pulse width selectable (short/long) via external resistor. |
| INTN (Pin 7) | Interrupt output | Open-drain signal indicating V1 undervoltage, LIN/local wake-up, cyclic, or power-on events - enables prioritized MCU interrupt handling. |
| WAKE1/WAKE2 (Pins 18/19) | Local wake-up analog inputs | Configurable edge-sensitive inputs for mechanical switches or sensors; sampling synchronized to WBIAS for ultra-low standby current. |
| VEXCTRL/VEXCC (Pins 31/29) | External PNP transistor control | VEXCTRL drives base; VEXCC monitors collector current - enables scalable current delivery beyond 250 mA with distributed thermal load. |
| EN (Pin 8) | Global enable output | Fail-safe output controlling safety-critical hardware; driven HIGH only in Normal mode when ENC = 1 - prevents unintended activation. |
| LIMP (Pin 17) | Limp home output | Active-LOW output asserting 'limp home' hardware during Overtemp or severe system fault; controlled via LHC bit in Mode_Control register. |

| Safe system start-up behavior | Controlled power sequencing ensures microcontroller receives stable V1 before release from reset; prevents boot failures during VBAT transients. |
| Detailed hierarchical status reporting | Register-mapped diagnostics (WD_and_Status, Int_Status) provide per-subsystem visibility into V1 health, wake source, LIN activity, and thermal state. |
| Intelligent limp home activation | LIMP output asserts LOW automatically upon Overtemp entry or via software-controlled LHWC/LHC bits - enables fail-operational response without MCU intervention. |
| EMC-optimized LIN slope control | Configurable low-slope mode (10.4 kbit/s) reduces radiated emissions while maintaining bus timing margins - simplifies CISPR 25 compliance testing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LIN SBC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UJA1076ATW/5V0/WD | Lower integration: no LIMP output; single wake-up input; no VEXCTRL/VEXCC for external PNP extension. | Suitable for cost-sensitive LIN nodes without fail-operational requirements or high-current MCU loads. | Select UJA1076ATW/5V0/WD only when limp home functionality and >250 mA regulated current are not required. |
| TLE9471-2ES | Infineon LIN SBC with integrated 5 V/300 mA regulator, CAN physical layer, and higher ESD rating (±12 kV HBM), but no dedicated LIMP pin or DLIN termination diode. | Preferred where CAN+LIN hybrid networking or higher ESD robustness is needed, but requires external circuitry for limp home behavior. | Choose TLE9471-2ES when CAN coexistence or extended ESD margin outweighs the benefit of UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD's integrated limp home and LIN termination. |
Compared with UJA1076ATW/5V0/WD, the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD adds fail-operational limp home control and scalable current delivery; versus TLE9471-2ES, it trades CAN capability for tighter LIN-specific features like DLIN termination and lower standby current - making it optimal for pure LIN body domain nodes requiring ASIL-B-compliant fault response.

FAQ
What LIN protocol versions does the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD support?
The UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD supports LIN 2.2A and SAE J2602 as primary standards, with full backward compatibility to LIN 2.2, 2.1, 2.0, and LIN 1.0–1.3. This ensures seamless integration into both new vehicle platforms and legacy LIN networks without firmware or hardware modification to the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD itself.
How does the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD manage thermal dissipation when delivering 250 mA?
The UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD manages thermal load through its HTSSOP32 package with exposed die pad - which must be soldered to PCB ground - and optional external PNP transistor support via VEXCTRL and VEXCC pins. This architecture distributes heat across the board, allowing sustained 250 mA output while maintaining junction temperature within AEC-Q100 Grade 1 limits (−40 °C to +125 °C).
Can the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD operate during engine cranking?
Yes, the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD operates reliably during engine cranking with battery voltages as low as 4.5 V, complying with ISO 16750-2. Its V1 regulator maintains stable 5 V ±2 % output under these conditions, and the system controller ensures controlled startup and reset behavior - preventing MCU lockup or undefined states in UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD-dependent ECUs.
What is the function of the DLIN pin on the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD?
The DLIN pin on the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD provides an internal connection point for the LIN bus termination diode, eliminating the need for an external discrete diode in standard LIN node implementations. This simplifies PCB layout, reduces component count, and improves signal integrity by minimizing parasitic inductance in the termination path of the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD.
How does the watchdog in the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD differ between Window and Timeout modes?
In Window mode, the UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD watchdog requires triggers within a defined time window (first half of period); early or late triggers cause reset. In Timeout mode, any trigger resets the timer, and overflow sets a cyclic interrupt (CI); only overflow with pending CI causes reset. This gives designers flexibility: Window mode enforces strict timing discipline, while Timeout mode supports periodic polling with graceful fault escalation - both configurable in UJA1079ATW/5V0/WD firmware.
