TLE6255GNTMA1 - 5V Full CANbus Transceiver | Infineon
MPN: TLE6255GNTMA1 ✓ ActiveTLE6255GNTMA1 Overview
A CAN transceiver is an interface IC that connects a host controller or microcontroller to a differential Controller Area Network bus. It belongs to the communication-interface hierarchy: CAN transceiver, bus interface, interface IC, and integrated circuit. Unlike a logic-level serial transceiver, the TLE6255GNTMA1 must translate logic-level controller signals into a differential bus waveform while receiving and conditioning the corresponding bus state.
The verified product listing specifies one transmitter and one receiver, a full CANbus interface, a 5 V operating voltage, and CAN operation at 100 kbps. The 14-pin PG-DSO-14-9 package is identified as a gull-wing surface-mount package. These characteristics make the device relevant to automotive and industrial control networks operating at conventional low-speed CAN rates, although detailed timing, fault, and electrical limits must be confirmed in the Infineon datasheet.
Five termination positions are identified in the verified listings, indicating that the device provides termination options for CAN-bus implementations. Termination reduces impedance discontinuities on the bus, but the correct configuration depends on the network topology, node location, bit rate, and whether the transceiver is used at the physical ends of the bus. Board-level termination selection must follow the device's documented configuration guidance rather than general assumptions.
Typical uses include body-control modules, powertrain-adjacent controllers, automotive gateways, sensor nodes, and industrial automation equipment that already operates a 5 V CAN network at 100 kbps. Because it is an automotive-grade single-channel transceiver, it is suited to systems requiring one CAN node with a defined 5 V supply architecture. Detailed operating-temperature limits, loopback behavior, bus-fault handling, and electrical characteristics were not included in the supplied web evidence and therefore remain unverified here.
For PCB design, preserve the differential return path and place the CAN bus connection and termination components close to the device pins. Keep sensitive digital and analog routing away from the bus traces, use the supply decoupling recommended by Infineon, and confirm the exposed-pad or thermal-land requirements for the PG-DSO-14-9 footprint before layout release.
This page consolidates distributor and manufacturer-related listings, package information, operating class, and candidate same-family alternatives. It also distinguishes verified specifications from values that still require direct confirmation from the official Infineon datasheet, helping engineers assess fit before committing to a PCB or production release.

Typical Applications
TLE6255GNTMA1 is suitable for 6 applications: Automotive Body Control Module CAN Node, 100 kbps Industrial CAN Sensor Node, Vehicle Gateway CAN Interface, Powertrain-Adjacent Sensor Interface, Robotics and Factory CAN Communication, CAN Diagnostics and Test Module.
Automotive Body Control Module CAN Node
The TLE6255GNTMA1 suits a 5 V automotive body-control or comfort module that connects a microcontroller to a 100 kbps CAN bus. Its verified one-transmitter and one-receiver configuration supports a single CAN node, while the automotive temperature grade makes it relevant to vehicle cabin electronics. The device uses the 14-pin PG-DSO-14-9 package, allowing the bus interface to remain compact but still provide a dedicated physical layer for controller logic. Its five documented termination positions should be configured according to the module's position within the network rather than enabled indiscriminately. Before layout release, verify the exact terminal assignments, supply decoupling, CAN bus-pin capacitance, and qualification grade in the official Infineon documentation.
Recommended
100 kbps Industrial CAN Sensor Node
The TLE6255GNTMA1 can serve as the physical-layer interface in a 5 V industrial sensor node connected to a 100 kbps CAN network. Its verified one-driver and one-receiver implementation converts controller logic levels to and from the differential CAN bus, separating the network interface from the sensor-processing electronics. The listed 14-pin gull-wing surface-mount package supports automated assembly, while five termination positions provide board-level termination choices. Industrial designs should enable termination only where required by the network topology and should verify bus-fault recovery, propagation delay, and loopback behavior against the official datasheet before deployment in a safety-related machine.
Recommended
Vehicle Gateway CAN Interface
For a vehicle gateway or body-domain controller operating a 100 kbps CAN segment, the TLE6255GNTMA1 provides a dedicated 5 V CAN physical layer with one transmitter and one receiver. Its automotive temperature grade is explicitly identified in the verified product data, while the PG-DSO-14-9 package keeps the interface compact for multilayer control-unit boards. The five termination positions allow PCB-level configuration to be evaluated against the gateway's position on the bus. Engineers must check the exact CAN_L and CAN_H routing, supply current behavior, standby or sleep implementation, and bus-fault tolerance in the manufacturer datasheet, then validate reflections and bit timing on the assembled board.
Recommended
Powertrain-Adjacent Sensor Interface
The TLE6255GNTMA1 is a candidate for a 5 V sensor or actuator node that exchanges 100 kbps CAN messages near a vehicle subsystem. Its confirmed automotive temperature grade and 14-pin PG-DSO-14-9 package suit compact control electronics, although proximity to powertrain hardware also requires separate EMC and environmental qualification. The device's single CAN channel pair avoids wasting interface resources in a node that needs only one bus segment. Use the documented termination arrangements carefully, keep the CAN_H and CAN_L traces as a controlled differential pair, and confirm the device's operating limits, bus-fault handling, and sleep current from the official Infineon datasheet before qualifying the node.
Recommended
Robotics and Factory CAN Communication
The TLE6255GNTMA1 is applicable to a 5 V robotics controller or factory automation module using a 100 kbps CAN backbone. Its one-transmitter and one-receiver organization is appropriate for nodes that exchange periodic commands, status, and diagnostics over one bus segment. The verified automotive temperature grade may be useful in harsh equipment cabinets, but industrial environmental requirements still need separate review. The 14-pin surface-mount package and five termination positions support compact, testable board layouts. Use the manufacturer's pinout to route the differential bus, establish a reference return path, apply the recommended supply decoupling, and test the complete bus under worst-case cable length and termination conditions.
Recommended
CAN Diagnostics and Test Module
The TLE6255GNTMA1 can form the bus-facing section of a compact CAN diagnostics module or test fixture that monitors a 5 V, 100 kbps network. A dedicated receiver provides the controller with the bus state, while the transmitter supports active interrogation and loopback-based testing. The automotive temperature grade is useful where the fixture is used near vehicle electronics, and the 14-pin PG-DSO-14-9 footprint simplifies repeatable fixture-board assembly. Five termination positions can support different harness arrangements, but the installer must follow the bus topology and device configuration guidance. Confirm standby and sleep behavior, fault flags, bus-recovery timing, and connector pinout before using the module for production diagnostics.

Key Differentiators
- Automotive-grade ordering configuration (vs TLE6255G)
- Verified 100 kbps CAN operation (vs TLE6251DXUMA2)
- Five documented termination positions (vs TLE6253G)
- Confirmed 14-pin PG-DSO-14-9 package (vs TLE6254G)
Design Notes
Route CAN_H and CAN_L as a controlled differential pair with continuous reference-plane support and avoid introducing stubs beneath the TLE6255GNTMA1. The supplied evidence confirms the 14-pin PG-DSO-14-9 package but does not supply the official terminal numbering, so the final net assignment must come from the Infineon package drawing. Keep connector and protection components close to the bus entry while observing the documented separation between transceiver, protection, and connector sections.
Do not enable all five documented termination positions without checking the network topology. In a CAN bus, termination belongs at the physical bus ends, and unused positions should remain unpopulated or be configured as directed by the Infineon documentation. Confirm the transceiver's termination-selection method and measure the resulting differential impedance across every operating node before production release.
The verified operating voltage is 5 V, but no supply-current limits or decoupling values were provided. Before schematic release, obtain the Infineon datasheet values for operating, sleep, and dominant-state supply current, then place the recommended bypass capacitor at the device's supply and ground pins with a short return path. Validate the 5 V rail tolerance and startup sequence against both the CAN controller and the transceiver.
The verified CAN rate is 100 kbps, so bus timing and termination must be evaluated for the complete harness rather than only the IC. Check propagation delay, recessive and dominant output levels, receive thresholds, loopback behavior, and bus-fault recovery from the official datasheet. After layout, use a differential probe across CAN_H and CAN_L at the far end of the longest supported cable to look for reflections or ringing.
The generic TLE6255G, TLE6251DXUMA2, and other same-family order codes must not be substituted solely because they use a 14-pin footprint. Verify each terminal's function, supply range, sleep-mode logic, bus timing, termination method, and automotive qualification. The provided snippets establish family relationships but do not contain enough terminal-level information to certify every alternative as a production drop-in.
Compliance Information
The verified evidence identifies an automotive temperature grade but does not provide explicit RoHS, REACH, AEC-Q100 grade, lead-free, halogen-free, or conflict-minerals declarations. These values require confirmation from current Infineon product documentation.
