The TJA1080 is a FlexRay transceiver, which is compatible with the FlexRay electrical physical layer specification V2.1 Rev. A (see Ref. 1). It is primarily intended for communication systems from 1 Mbit/s to 10 Mbit/s, and provides an advanced interface between the protocol controller and the physical bus in a FlexRay network. The TJA1080 can be configured to be used as an active star transceiver or as a node transceiver.
