Product details
Overview
UJA1169ATK/3Z from NXP Semiconductors is a mini high-speed CAN System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating an ISO 11898-2:2016 and SAE J2284-1–5 compliant HS-CAN transceiver supporting CAN FD up to 5 Mbit/s, a scalable 3.3 V / 250 mA microcontroller supply (V1), a dedicated 5 V / 100 mA CAN supply (V2), SPI interface, watchdog, and LIMP fault signaling - deployed in automotive body control modules and gateway ECUs requiring robust partial-networking wake-up and low-power Sleep mode.
For engineers reviewing the UJA1169ATK/3Z datasheet, UJA1169ATK/3Z pinout, UJA1169ATK/3Z application, or UJA1169ATK/3Z equivalent, key selection criteria include CAN FD passive support for mixed classic/CAN FD networks, thermal-managed V1 regulation with external PNP, autonomous bus biasing, selective wake-up frame detection at 50–1000 kbit/s, and non-volatile configuration of reset thresholds and limp-home behavior.
Technical Context
The UJA1169ATK/3Z implements a dual-regulator architecture: V1 delivers 3.3 V ±2 % at 250 mA for the host MCU (switched off in Sleep mode), while V2 supplies 5 V ±2 % at 100 mA exclusively for the internal CAN transceiver and on-board peripherals. Its CAN physical layer complies fully with ISO 11898-2:2016, enabling reliable fast-phase operation up to 5 Mbit/s with true floating bus pins when BAT is unpowered.
Power management includes three hierarchical states: Normal (full functionality), Standby (V1 active, transceiver offline, SPI enabled), and Sleep (V1 off, ultra-low quiescent current, wake-up via CAN/WAKE only). The integrated watchdog operates in Timeout or Autonomous mode with eight selectable periods (8 ms–4 s), and supports cyclic wake-up for remote flash programming - all configurable via 16-/24-/32-bit SPI and stored in non-volatile memory.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CAN SBC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UJA1169ATK/F/3 | Identical pinout and electrical specs; adds ISO 11898-2:2016 partial networking with CAN FD passive support | Required where selective wake-up frame detection and CAN FD traffic filtering in Sleep mode are mandatory | Select UJA1169ATK/F/3 if network-level partial networking compliance is needed; UJA1169ATK/3Z lacks /F suffix and does not support CAN FD passive |
| TJA1145TK/3 | 3.3 V V1 supply, 5 Mbit/s CAN FD, but no V2 regulator; uses different SPI register map and lacks non-volatile configuration storage | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs omitting secondary CAN supply; requires MCU-side configuration persistence | Choose TJA1145TK/3 only when V2 is unnecessary and firmware can manage runtime configuration - UJA1169ATK/3Z offers superior integration and configurability |
Compared with UJA1169ATK/F/3, the UJA1169ATK/3Z lacks CAN FD passive wake-up capability but retains identical power architecture and diagnostic features; versus TJA1145TK/3, it provides integrated V2 regulation and factory-programmable non-volatile settings - reducing BOM count and boot-time initialization complexity.

FAQ
What is the CAN FD data rate supported by the UJA1169ATK/3Z?
The UJA1169ATK/3Z supports CAN FD active communication up to 5 Mbit/s in the data field, compliant with ISO 11898-2:2016. It also enables selective wake-up frame detection at bit rates of 50 kbit/s, 100 kbit/s, 125 kbit/s, 250 kbit/s, 500 kbit/s, and 1 Mbit/s - but does not implement CAN FD passive functionality, as it lacks the /F suffix.
Does the UJA1169ATK/3Z include a dedicated CAN transceiver supply?
Yes, the UJA1169ATK/3Z integrates a dedicated 5 V / 100 mA regulator (V2) that powers the internal CAN transceiver and can supply additional on-board hardware. This V2 output is user-controllable via SPI and remains active in Standby mode - unlike V1, which is switched off in Sleep mode.
What is the purpose of the LIMP pin on the UJA1169ATK/3Z?
The LIMP pin on the UJA1169ATK/3Z is an open-drain, active-LOW fault signaling output triggered by watchdog timeout, RSTN clamping, or overtemperature events. It provides hardware-level escalation independent of SPI or MCU activity - enabling immediate system-level fail-safe response in safety-critical automotive applications.
Can the UJA1169ATK/3Z operate in Sleep mode with the microcontroller supply disabled?
Yes, the UJA1169ATK/3Z supports Sleep mode with V1 (3.3 V MCU supply) fully disabled, achieving ultra-low quiescent current. Wake-up is possible only via CAN bus activity (standard pattern) or the WAKE pin. Autonomous bus biasing remains active, and V2 continues powering the CAN transceiver - ensuring bus monitoring without MCU involvement.
How is non-volatile configuration handled in the UJA1169ATK/3Z?
The UJA1169ATK/3Z stores configuration parameters - including power-on reset length, undervoltage detection thresholds, limp activation logic, and partial networking settings - in on-chip non-volatile memory. These values persist across power cycles and are accessible via SPI, eliminating the need for external EEPROM or MCU-based configuration storage.
