The UJA1066 fail-safe System Basis Chip (SBC) replaces basic discrete components which are common in every Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with a Controller Area Network (CAN) interface. The fail-safe SBC supports all networking applications that control various power and sensor peripherals by using high-speed CAN as the main network interface. The fail-safe SBC contains the following integrated devices:
- High-speed CAN transceiver, interoperable and downward compatible with CAN transceiver TJA1041 and TJA1041A, and compatible with the ISO 11898-2 standard and the ISO 11898-5 standard (in preparation)
- Advanced independent watchdog
- Dedicated voltage regulators for microcontroller and CAN transceiver
- Serial peripheral interface (full duplex)
- Local wake-up input port
- Inhibit/limp-home output port
In addition to the advantages of integrating these common ECU functions in a single package, the fail-safe SBC offers an intelligent combination of system-specific functions such as:
- Advanced low-power concept
- Safe and controlled system start-up behavior
- Advanced fail-safe system behavior that prevents any conceivable deadlock
- Detailed status reporting on system and subsystem levels
The UJA1066 is designed to be used in combination with a microcontroller that incorporates a CAN controller. The fail-safe SBC ensures that the microcontroller is always started up in a defined manner. In failure situations, the fail-safe SBC will maintain microcontroller functionality for as long as possible to provide a full monitoring and software-driven fallback operation.
The UJA1066 is designed for 14 V single power supply architectures and for 14 V and 42 V dual power supply architectures.
