FlexRay transceiver for automotive deterministic networks
The TJA1081BTS,118 is a FlexRay transceiver from NXP, designed to drive the deterministic, dual-channel bus used in chassis control, steer-by-wire, and advanced driver-assistance sensor fusion nodes. It operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply rail — a legacy 5 V bus domain that matches the typical FlexRay transceiver power in first-generation network implementations. The 16-SSOP package (0.209" body width, 5.30 mm) is a compact surface-mount footprint, suited for space-constrained ECU boards.
5 V supply, SSOP-16 footprint, tape & reel
The SSOP-16 package (Supplier Device Package 16-SSOP) is a 0.209-inch-wide body with 0.65 mm pitch — a standard footprint that does not demand fine-pitch assembly but does require a thermal pad layout per the NXP application note. The package / case 16-SSOP (0.209", 5.30mm Width) is shared with other NXP FlexRay transceivers, making PCB layout common across the family.
Active production — no end-of-life clock
The part is ROHS3 compliant. For procurement teams, this means the supply chain is stable — no last-time-buy math needed, no forced migration to a successor.
Sourcing and procurement posture
The TJA1081BTS,118 is available for ordering against RFQ. As an Active part with no lifecycle expiration, the typical lead time aligns with NXP's standard production cycle. The part is sourced through authorized and independent channels; stock and price are confirmed at quote.
