General description
The UJA1061 fail-safe System Basis Chip (SBC) replaces basic discrete components that are common in every Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with a Controller Area Network (CAN) and a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) interface. The fail-safe SBC supports all networking applications that control various power and sensor peripherals by using fault-tolerant CAN as the main network interface and LIN as a local sub-bus.

■ Cyclic wake-up capability in Standby and Sleep modes
■ Local wake-up input with cyclic supply feature
■ Remote wake-up capability via the CAN-bus and LIN-bus
■ External voltage regulators can easily be incorporated in the power supply system (flexible and fail-safe)
■ 42 V battery-related high-side switch for driving external loads such as relays and wake-up switches
■ Intelligent maskable interrupt output
Fail-safe features
■ Safe and predictable behavior under all conditions
■ Programmable fail-safe coded window and time-out watchdog with on-chip oscillator, guaranteeing autonomous fail-safe system supervision
■ Fail-safe coded 16-bit SPI interface for the microcontroller
■ Global enable pin for the control of safety-critical hardware
■ Detection and detailed reporting of failures:
♦ On-chip oscillator failure and watchdog alerts

■ Fail-safe coded activation of Software development mode and Flash mode
■ Unique SPI readable device type identification
■ Software-initiated system reset
