Product details
Overview
UJA1169LTK/FZ from NXP Semiconductors is a mini high-speed CAN companion System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating an ISO 11898-2:201x/6:2013-compliant HS-CAN transceiver, a scalable 5 V/250 mA regulator (V1), SPI interface, watchdog with Window/Timeout/Autonomous modes, and LIMP fault signaling output. It operates in Standby/Sleep modes with bus and local wake-up, supports CAN FD-passive partial networking, and features VIO pin for 3.3–5 V microcontroller interfacing - deployed in automotive domain controllers requiring secondary SBC functionality.
For engineers reviewing the UJA1169LTK/FZ datasheet, UJA1169LTK/FZ pinout, UJA1169LTK/FZ application, or UJA1169LTK/FZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-regulator architecture (V1 + V2), CAN FD-passive wake-up capability, thermal-scalable V1 supply with external PNP control, non-volatile configuration storage, and HVSON20 package compatibility with automotive ASIL-related limp-home requirements.
Technical Context
The UJA1169LTK/FZ implements a fully autonomous ISO 11898-6:2013-compliant partial networking controller with CAN FD-passive support, enabling selective wake-up without bus errors during CAN FD traffic. Its internal CAN transceiver is powered by V2 (5 V/100 mA), while V1 (5 V/250 mA) supplies external loads and scales thermally via external PNP transistor controlled by VEXCTRL/VEXCC pins.
Power management includes three distinct low-power states: Standby (V1 active, SPI enabled, watchdog configurable), Sleep (V1 off, no temperature protection), and Forced Normal (watchdog disabled, full functionality for flashing). Wake-up sources are recognized and reported via RXD pin and status registers, with diagnostic events (overtemperature, watchdog failure) triggering the open-drain LIMP output.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the UJA1169LTK/FZ in an automotive ECU?
The UJA1169LTK/FZ serves as a companion System Basis Chip that provides isolated high-speed CAN communication, dual regulated power supplies (V1 and V2), SPI-based system control, and safety-critical fault signaling via the LIMP output. In automotive ECUs, it enables scalable multi-transceiver architectures while resolving supply domain conflicts between primary and secondary SBCs - a core requirement in modern domain controller designs.
Does the UJA1169LTK/FZ support CAN FD communication?
Yes, the UJA1169LTK/FZ supports CAN FD active communication up to 2 Mbit/s in the data phase and implements CAN FD-passive functionality. This allows the device to remain in Sleep or Standby mode during CAN FD traffic without generating bus errors - a feature confirmed for the /F variants including UJA1169LTK/FZ and compliant with ISO 11898-6:2013 and upcoming ISO 11898-2:201x.
How does the VIO pin on the UJA1169LTK/FZ improve system design?
The VIO pin on the UJA1169LTK/FZ accepts 3.3 V to 5 V supply to configure the I/O level shifter, enabling direct interface with microcontrollers operating at different voltage domains. This eliminates reverse supply current risks between primary and secondary SBCs - a known reliability issue when standard SBCs are used as companions - and removes the need for external level-shifting circuitry in UJA1169LTK/FZ-based designs.
What is the role of the LIMP output in UJA1169LTK/FZ-based safety systems?
The LIMP output in the UJA1169LTK/FZ is an open-drain, active-LOW fault signaling pin triggered by watchdog failure or overtemperature events. It operates independently of the host microcontroller and provides hardware-level fail-safe indication for ASIL-related applications - such as electric power steering backup controllers - where certified limp-home behavior must be guaranteed even if the main MCU fails.
Can the UJA1169LTK/FZ operate with a battery voltage below 5 V?
Yes, the UJA1169LTK/FZ's V1 regulator remains operational down to a battery voltage of 2 V, and its undervoltage detection threshold is configurable in non-volatile memory (60 %, 70 %, 80 %, or 90 % of nominal 5 V output). This ensures reliable operation during cold-crank conditions and brown-out scenarios common in 12 V automotive systems, with precise fault reporting via the Main status register.
