Overview

The TJA1050T/CM,118 is a single-channel CAN bus transceiver from NXP in an 8-pin SOIC package. It implements a 1-driver/1-receiver, half-duplex interface and is intended for 5 V CAN networks. Key listed parameters include a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply range and a receiver hysteresis of 70 mV.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver offers a compact, industry-standard 8-SOIC footprint and a single 5 V supply, making it easy to drop into existing CAN designs. The built-in receiver hysteresis (70 mV) and standard 1/1 driver-receiver configuration provide improved noise immunity and straightforward interfacing to a CAN controller. Being an NXP TJA1050-family device means broad industry compatibility and common reference designs.

Applications

In-vehicle CAN networks
Interface between a vehicle microcontroller CAN controller and the physical CAN bus for body electronics and instrument clusters.
Industrial control networks
Connectivity for CAN-based industrial sensors, actuators, and PLC I/O modules in noisy environments.
Gateway and ECU modules
Physical-layer transceiver for gateway nodes and electronic control units that bridge or route CAN messages.
Diagnostics and test equipment
Use in CAN sniffers, USB-CAN adapters, and diagnostic tools that monitor or inject CAN frames.

Getting Started

Connect the TJA1050 between your microcontroller CAN controller TX/RX pins and the CAN bus, observing proper bus termination (120 ohm) and layout guidelines. For development and testing, use a USB-CAN adapter or evaluation board and common software stacks (SocketCAN on Linux, PCAN tools, or vendor CAN stacks) to send and capture frames.
