Product details
Overview
UJA1169LTKZ from NXP Semiconductors is a mini high-speed CAN companion System Basis Chip (SBC) designed for automotive applications requiring secondary power and communication resources. It integrates an ISO 11898-2:201x/ISO 11898-6:2013-compliant HS-CAN transceiver, a scalable 5 V/250 mA regulator (V1), SPI interface, watchdog with Window/Timeout/Autonomous modes, and LIMP output for ASIL-related limp-home signaling. It operates in Standby/Sleep modes with bus and local wake-up capability and supports CAN FD-passive partial networking.
For engineers reviewing the UJA1169LTKZ datasheet, UJA1169LTKZ pinout, UJA1169LTKZ application, or UJA1169LTKZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dedicated VIO input for cross-supply-domain interfacing, thermal-scalable V1 regulator using external PNP, autonomous bus biasing, ±8 kV HBM ESD on CAN pins, and HVSON20 package with exposed die pad for enhanced thermal performance.
Technical Context
The UJA1169LTKZ implements a dual-regulator architecture: V1 (5 V/250 mA) supplies external loads and the internal CAN transceiver, while its variant-specific V2 (UJA1169LTK/UJA1169LTK/F) or VEXT (UJA1169LTK/X/UJA1169LTK/X/F) provides isolated 5 V/100 mA outputs. Its CAN transceiver supports classic CAN up to 1 Mbit/s and CAN FD fast-phase data rates up to 2 Mbit/s with loop-delay symmetry compliance per upcoming ISO 11898-2:201x.
Power management includes three hierarchical states: Normal (full functionality), Standby (V1 active, SPI enabled, transceiver offline), and Sleep (V1 off, SPI disabled, autonomous bus biasing active). Wake-up sources include standard CAN pattern detection, ISO 11898-6 selective frames (FD-passive only in /F variants), and local WAKE pin - all with source identification via RXD assertion and status registers.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 ISO 11898-6 partial networking and CAN FD-passive; same HVSON20 package and pinout | Required where selective wake-up from CAN FD traffic is mandatory; supports mixed CAN/CAN FD network topologies | Select UJA1169LTK/F if your design requires guaranteed Sleep-mode retention during CAN FD communication |
| TJA1145A | Single 5 V/250 mA regulator only; no V2/VEXT option; lacks autonomous bus biasing and VIO pin | Suitable for cost-sensitive single-regulator applications without cross-domain interfacing needs | Choose TJA1145A only when VIO isolation and dual-regulator flexibility are unnecessary and BOM simplification is prioritized |
Compared with UJA1169LTKZ, UJA1169LTK/F adds certified partial networking capability for CAN FD environments, while TJA1145A reduces feature set to lower cost but sacrifices VIO domain adaptation, autonomous biasing, and flexible power routing-making UJA1169LTKZ optimal for scalable, safety-critical automotive architectures.

FAQ
What is the maximum CAN data rate supported by the UJA1169LTKZ?
The UJA1169LTKZ supports classic CAN up to 1 Mbit/s and CAN FD fast-phase data rates up to 2 Mbit/s. This capability is enabled by loop-delay symmetry compliance per upcoming ISO 11898-2:201x, ensuring reliable communication during high-speed data field transmission without introducing timing violations or bus errors in the UJA1169LTKZ implementation.
Does the UJA1169LTKZ support partial networking, and how does it differ from standard wake-up?
The UJA1169LTKZ supports ISO 11898-6:2013-compliant partial networking with CAN FD-passive functionality. Unlike standard wake-up-which triggers on any bus activity-the UJA1169LTKZ ignores CAN FD traffic in Sleep/Standby mode, allowing nodes that do not require FD messages to remain asleep. This prevents unnecessary wake-ups and extends battery life in mixed-protocol networks where the UJA1169LTKZ serves as a companion SBC.
How does the VIO pin on the UJA1169LTKZ enable interoperability with different microcontrollers?
The VIO pin on the UJA1169LTKZ accepts 3.3 V to 5 V supply inputs, enabling direct level-shifting between the SBC's SPI interface and microcontrollers operating at different I/O voltages. This eliminates external level shifters and prevents reverse current flow between supply domains-a critical advantage when the UJA1169LTKZ acts as a secondary SBC alongside a main SBC with mismatched VIO rails, ensuring robust communication and power integrity.
What thermal management features does the UJA1169LTKZ offer for the V1 regulator?
The UJA1169LTKZ implements thermal scalability for its V1 regulator via external PNP transistor control using VEXCTRL (base drive) and VEXCC (collector current sense) pins. This allows dynamic thermal derating based on PCB layout and ambient conditions. Combined with the HVSON20 package's exposed die pad (to be connected to GND), the UJA1169LTKZ achieves low thermal resistance and maintains regulation stability under sustained 250 mA load at elevated temperatures.
Can the UJA1169LTKZ operate with battery voltages below 5 V, and what is its minimum functional input?
Yes, the UJA1169LTKZ can operate with battery input as low as 2 V while maintaining V1 regulator functionality. Its BAT pin accepts 4.5 V–27 V nominal input, but the internal circuitry-including V1 regulation and wake-up detection-is designed to function down to 2 V. This ensures reliable operation during cold-cranking events and supports fail-safe behavior in low-voltage scenarios critical for automotive applications using the UJA1169LTKZ.
