TJA1080 FlexRay transceiver

The TJA1080 is a FlexRay transceiver, which is compatible with the FlexRay electrical physical layer specification V2.1 Rev. A (see Ref. 1). It is primarily intended for communication systems from 1 Mbit/s to 10 Mbit/s, and provides an advanced interface between the protocol controller and the physical bus in a FlexRay network. The TJA1080 can be configured to be used as an active star transceiver or as a node transceiver. The TJA1080 provides differential transmit capability to the network and differential receive capability to the FlexRay controller. It offers excellent EMC performance as well as high ESD protection. The TJA1080 actively monitors the system performance using dedicated error and status information (readable by any microcontroller), as well as internal voltage and temperature monitoring. The TJA1080 supports the mode control as used in Philips TJA1054 (see Ref. 2) and TJA1041 (see Ref. 3) CAN transceivers.
