Product details
Overview
UJA1169LTK/XZ from NXP Semiconductors is a mini high-speed CAN companion System Basis Chip (SBC) designed for automotive applications requiring dual-SBC architectures. It integrates an ISO 11898-2:201x/ISO 11898-6:2013-compliant HS-CAN transceiver, a scalable 5 V/250 mA regulator (V1), and SPI-controlled power management with Standby/Sleep modes, LIMP output, and watchdog functionality. It supports CAN FD-passive partial networking and operates with VIO input compatible with 3.3 V–5 V microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the UJA1169LTK/XZ datasheet, UJA1169LTK/XZ pinout, UJA1169LTK/XZ application, or UJA1169LTK/XZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dedicated VIO interface for cross-domain compatibility, VEXT short-circuit protection to ±58 V and −18 V, autonomous bus biasing, CAN FD-passive wake-up suppression, and non-volatile configuration of V1 undervoltage thresholds and limp-home behavior.
Technical Context
The UJA1169LTK/XZ implements a dual-regulator architecture: V1 (5 V/250 mA) supplies external loads and the internal CAN transceiver, while VEXT (5 V/100 mA) provides protected off-board sensor power with short-circuit proofing to BAT, GND, and −18 V. Its CAN transceiver complies with ISO 11898-2:201x and ISO 11898-6:2013, enabling reliable CAN FD fast-phase communication up to 2 Mbit/s and selective wake-up frame detection.
Power management is governed by a state machine supporting Normal, Standby, Sleep, Reset, Forced Normal, Overtemp, and Off modes. Wake-up sources include CAN bus activity (standard or selective), local WAKE pin, and diagnostic events (overtemperature, watchdog failure); all trigger RXD LOW and are distinguishable via RSS bits in the Main status register (0x03). The integrated watchdog offers Window, Timeout, and Autonomous modes with programmable periods from 8 ms to 4 s.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CAN companion SBC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UJA1169LTK/F | Includes V2 (5 V/100 mA CAN supply) instead of VEXT; supports same CAN FD-passive partial networking | Designed for on-board CAN transceiver powering; lacks VEXT's off-board sensor protection | Select UJA1169LTK/F when internal CAN transceiver supply is required and VEXT protection is unnecessary |
| UJA1169LTK/X | Same VEXT capability but lacks ISO 11898-6:2013 partial networking and CAN FD-passive support | Supports basic HS-CAN and VEXT power only; no selective wake-up or CAN FD traffic filtering | Select UJA1169LTK/X for cost-sensitive applications without partial networking requirements |
Compared with UJA1169LTK/F and UJA1169LTK/X, the UJA1169LTK/XZ uniquely combines VEXT's robust off-board protection with full ISO 11898-6:2013 partial networking-enabling safe, low-power operation in mixed CAN FD/classic CAN networks where sensor power integrity and selective wake-up are both critical.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the VIO pin on the UJA1169LTK/XZ?
The VIO pin on the UJA1169LTK/XZ provides a dedicated supply input (3.3 V–5 V) for the digital I/O level shifter, enabling direct interfacing with microcontrollers operating in different voltage domains. This isolates the UJA1169LTK/XZ's digital interface from its main V1 supply domain, preventing reverse supply currents when used alongside a primary SBC-a critical feature for multi-SBC automotive architectures.
Does the UJA1169LTK/XZ support CAN FD communication, and if so, at what data rates?
Yes, the UJA1169LTK/XZ supports CAN FD communication in the fast phase up to 2 Mbit/s, compliant with ISO 11898-2:201x. Its CAN transceiver implements loop delay symmetry parameters required for reliable CAN FD operation. However, it operates in CAN FD-passive mode during Sleep/Standby-ignoring CAN FD traffic to prevent spurious wake-ups-while remaining fully active for classic CAN and selective wake-up frames.
How does the VEXT output on the UJA1169LTK/XZ differ from standard 5 V regulators in terms of protection?
The VEXT output on the UJA1169LTK/XZ is short-circuit proof not only to GND and BAT but also to negative voltages down to −18 V-unlike standard regulators. This makes it uniquely suited for automotive sensor interfaces exposed to load dump, jump-start, or reverse-battery conditions. Its current limiting and thermal foldback are integrated, and on/off control is implemented via SPI register VEXTC/VEXTSUC.
Can the UJA1169LTK/XZ enter Sleep mode while maintaining CAN bus wake-up capability?
No-the UJA1169LTK/XZ disables V1 in Sleep mode, and the CAN transceiver is powered off, eliminating bus wake-up capability. Wake-up is only supported in Standby mode (where V1 remains active and the receiver monitors bus activity) and Normal mode. In Sleep mode, only local WAKE pin and diagnostic events (e.g., overtemperature) can initiate wake-up; bus-based wake-up requires Standby or Normal mode operation.
What safety-related functions does the LIMP output provide on the UJA1169LTK/XZ?
The LIMP output on the UJA1169LTK/XZ is an open-drain, active-LOW fault signal that asserts during overtemperature events or watchdog failures-both critical safety conditions in automotive systems. Its activation threshold is configurable via non-volatile memory, and it supports ASIL-related applications by providing independent, hardware-based limp-home signaling without MCU intervention, ensuring fail-operational behavior in safety-critical subsystems.
