Product details
Overview
UJA1079TW/5V0/WD from NXP Semiconductors is a LIN 2.1–compliant System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating a 5 V/250 mA voltage regulator, advanced window/timeout watchdog with on-chip oscillator, LIN transceiver, SPI interface, two local wake-up inputs, and limp-home output - designed for automotive ECU power management and communication control in body electronics and sensor modules.
For engineers reviewing the UJA1079TW/5V0/WD datasheet, UJA1079TW/5V0/WD pinout, UJA1079TW/5V0/WD application, or UJA1079TW/5V0/WD equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, automotive-grade EMC/ESD specs, thermal-aware package details, and real-world substitution guidance for LIN-based ECU designs.
Technical Context
The UJA1079TW/5V0/WD implements a state-machine–driven system controller managing Off/Standby/Normal/Sleep/Overtemp modes with deterministic transitions triggered by VBAT thresholds, LIN bus activity, local wake 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.
Voltage regulation uses a scalable 5 V LDO delivering up to 250 mA with ±2 % accuracy for LIN master operation and undervoltage warning/reset at 90 % or 70 % of nominal output. The watchdog operates independently via on-chip oscillator and supports programmable periods (8–4096 ms), Window/Timeout/Off modes, and automatic re-enable on interrupt.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| LIN Compliance | LIN 2.1, SAE J2602, backward-compatible with LIN 2.0 and LIN 1.3 - ensures interoperability across automotive LIN networks. |
| Voltage Regulator Output | 5 V ±2 % (master), ±3 % (slave); 250 mA max - powers MCU and peripherals while supporting external PNP extension for thermal distribution. |
| Watchdog Modes | Window, Timeout, Off - enables fail-safe timing supervision with programmable period (8–4096 ms) and independent oscillator clock source. |
| SPI Interface | 16-bit full-duplex, register-mapped (WD_and_Status, Mode_Control, Int_Control, Int_Status) - enables configuration, status reporting, and diagnostics without MCU reset dependency. |
| Wake-Up Capability | Two dedicated WAKE1/WAKE2 inputs + LIN bus wake-up - supports low-power standby with configurable sampling (16/64 ms) and wake-source detection. |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BAT (Pin 32) | Battery supply input | Accepts 4.5–27 V input; supports cranking (ISO 7637 pulse 4/4b); powers internal regulators and LIN transceiver. |

| INTN (Pin 7) | Interrupt output | Open-drain signal indicating pending events: V1 undervoltage, LIN/local wake-up, cyclic interrupt, or power-on status. |
| LIMP (Pin 17) | Limp-home output | Fail-safe active-LOW output activated during overtemperature or critical fault - triggers hardware fallback behavior. |
| SDI/SDO/SCK/SCSN (Pins 9–12) | SPI interface | Full-duplex 16-bit SPI for register read/write; supports read-only access to preserve status during diagnostics. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LIN SBC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UJA1076TW/5V0/WD | Same HTSSOP32 package and 5 V regulator, but lacks LIMP output and has reduced SPI register set - no limp-home fail-safe capability. | Applicable where fail-safe hardware fallback is not required; lower cost for non-critical nodes. | Select UJA1076TW/5V0/WD only if limp-home functionality is omitted from system architecture and diagnostic depth is reduced. |
| TLE7250GVIO | Infineon LIN SBC with 5 V/250 mA regulator and watchdog, but uses SOIC-14 package - no local wake inputs or SPI interface; analog status outputs only. | Suitable for simple LIN slaves with minimal diagnostics; cannot support complex wake-source management or register-level configuration. | Choose TLE7250GVIO when board space is constrained and only basic LIN transceiver + regulator + watchdog are needed - no SPI or multi-wake support. |
Compared with UJA1076TW/5V0/WD, the UJA1079TW/5V0/WD adds LIMP output and extended SPI diagnostics; versus TLE7250GVIO, it provides dual wake inputs, full SPI register access, and HTSSOP32 thermal performance - making it optimal for safety-aware, feature-rich LIN ECUs.

FAQ
What LIN protocol versions does the UJA1079TW/5V0/WD support?
The UJA1079TW/5V0/WD supports LIN 2.1 and SAE J2602, and is backward-compatible with LIN 2.0 and LIN 1.3. It implements low-slope mode for improved EMC performance and includes an integrated termination diode at the DLIN pin - all confirmed in the official NXP datasheet Rev. 02.
Does the UJA1079TW/5V0/WD include a built-in watchdog, and what modes does it support?
Yes, the UJA1079TW/5V0/WD includes an advanced independent watchdog with on-chip oscillator clocking. It supports Window mode, Timeout mode, and Off mode - programmable via the WD_and_Status register (NWP bits), with default period of 128 ms. The WDOFF pin allows hardware disable, and WMC bit controls mode selection per operating state.
What is the purpose of the LIMP pin on the UJA1079TW/5V0/WD, and when is it activated?
The LIMP pin on the UJA1079TW/5V0/WD is an active-LOW fail-safe output that activates during overtemperature events or critical system faults. When chip temperature exceeds Tth(act)otp, the SBC enters Overtemp mode, drives RSTN LOW, and sets LHC bit to assert LIMP LOW - triggering hardware-level limp-home behavior in connected actuators or valves.
Can the UJA1079TW/5V0/WD operate during automotive cranking conditions?
Yes, the UJA1079TW/5V0/WD supports VBAT down to 4.5 V, meeting ISO 7637-3 and ISO 16750-2 cranking requirements. Its 5 V regulator remains stable under these conditions, and the V1 undervoltage detection (at 90 % or 70 % threshold) ensures safe MCU reset before brownout - verified in Section 2.5 and Table 10 of the datasheet.
How does the UJA1079TW/5V0/WD manage thermal dissipation in high-current applications?
The UJA1079TW/5V0/WD uses an HTSSOP32 package with exposed die pad for direct PCB heat sinking. Its 5 V regulator delivers up to 250 mA and supports external PNP transistor extension via VEXCTRL/VEXCC pins - enabling current sharing and distributed thermal load across the board, as detailed in Sections 2.1 and 6.5.2.
