Overview

The TJA1042T/3 is a high-speed CAN transceiver that provides an interface between a Controller Area Network protocol controller and the physical two-wire CAN bus. It is specifically designed for high-speed CAN applications in the automotive and industrial industries, providing differential transmit and receive capability to the bus.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver offers very low electromagnetic emission and high electromagnetic immunity, which is critical in noisy automotive environments. It features a low-power standby mode with remote wake-up capability via the bus and includes a 3.3V-compatible I/O interface for direct connection to modern microcontrollers.

Applications

Automotive Body Control
Ideal for electronic control units (ECUs) requiring reliable communication within the vehicle's internal network.
Industrial Automation
Suitable for high-speed industrial networks using CANopen or DeviceNet protocols in factory environments.
Battery Management Systems
Ensures robust data exchange between battery monitoring ICs and the central processing unit in EV or energy storage systems.

Getting Started

To evaluate this IC, designers can use the NXP TJA1042 evaluation boards or integrate it into a custom PCB with a standard 8-pin SOIC footprint. Ensure that the VIO pin is connected to the microcontroller's supply voltage level (3.3V or 5V) to maintain proper logic compatibility.
