TJA1145TKJ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the TJA1145TKJ to ensure optimal performance?
  A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the analog and digital grounds separate and connect them at a single point. Use a common mode filter and a shielded cable for the CAN bus.
• How do I ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with the TJA1145TKJ?
  Use a shielded enclosure, keep the CAN bus cables away from noise sources, and use a common mode filter. Ensure the PCB layout is optimized for EMC, and use a ferrite bead or a common mode choke on the CAN bus lines.
• What is the maximum cable length supported by the TJA1145TKJ?
  The maximum cable length depends on the bit rate and the cable characteristics. As a general guideline, a maximum cable length of 40 meters is recommended for a 500 kbps CAN bus.
• How do I troubleshoot CAN bus communication issues with the TJA1145TKJ?
  Use a CAN bus analyzer to monitor the bus traffic and identify errors. Check the termination resistors, cable connections, and the PCB layout. Verify the bit rate and the CAN bus configuration.
• Can I use the TJA1145TKJ in a fault-tolerant CAN bus system?
  Yes, the TJA1145TKJ is designed for fault-tolerant CAN bus systems. It has a built-in fault-tolerant mode that allows the transceiver to continue operating even if one of the bus lines is short-circuited to ground or VCC.
