The TJA1040 is an advanced high speed CAN transceiver for use in
automotive and general industrial applications. It supports the differential
bus signal representation described in the international standard for
in-vehicle high speed CAN applications (ISO11898). CAN (Controller Area
Network) is the standard protocol for serial in-vehicle bus communication,
particularly for Engine Management and Body Multiplexing.
The TJA1040 provides a Standby mode, as known from its functional
predecessors PCA82C250 and PCA82C251, but with significantly
reduced power consumption. Besides the excellent low-power behavior
the TJA1040 offers several valuable system improvements. Highlights are
the absolute passive bus behavior if the device is unpowered as well as
the excellent emc performance.
