Overview

The TJA1042TK/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 sectors, offering CAN FD capability with data rates up to 5Mbps. This variant includes a Vio pin for direct level-shifting, allowing it to interface seamlessly with microcontrollers powered by 3V to 5V supplies.

Why Choose This Part

The device features extremely low electromagnetic emissions and high immunity (EMI), reducing the need for external filtering. It provides excellent ESD protection up to plus or minus 8kV on bus pins and is robust against transients and high voltages up to plus or minus 58V. The HVSON8 package offers a small 3x3mm footprint while maintaining superior thermal performance for high-temperature environments up to 150 degrees Celsius.

Applications

Automotive Body Control Modules
Used in 12V and 24V vehicle systems for networking door modules, climate control, and lighting systems.
Industrial Automation Networks
Provides robust communication for factory automation systems requiring high electromagnetic immunity and reliable long-distance signaling.
CAN FD High-Speed Links
Supports the fast phase of CAN FD protocols at rates up to 5Mbps for data-intensive telemetry and control tasks.
Battery Management Systems
Ideal for EV/HEV battery monitoring where low-power standby modes and high ESD robustness are critical.

Getting Started

To evaluate this transceiver, ensure the Vcc pin is supplied with 4.5V to 5.5V and connect the Vio pin to your microcontroller's I/O voltage level. When designing the PCB, place a 100nF decoupling capacitor close to the supply pins and implement standard 60-ohm termination at both ends of the CAN bus. Use the STB pin to control the transition between normal operating mode and the 5uA low-power Standby mode.
