TLE7259GNT rectangular Pin Configuration Guide
Pin configuration for TLE7259GNT (rectangular package). Pin numbering, functions, and connection diagrams are defined in the manufacturer datasheet. Refer to it for the exact footprint and soldering guidelines.
No detailed pinout data available for TLE7259GNT.
Refer to the datasheet for full pin configuration.
Typical Applications
TLE7259GNT is suitable for 6 applications: Automotive LIN Body-Control Nodes, Vehicle Climate-Control Module, Door and Seat Control Module, Automotive Lighting Controller, Automotive Sensor Gateway, Industrial and Retrofit LIN Controller.
Automotive LIN Body-Control Nodes
The TLE7259GNT fits legacy 20 kBd LIN subnets that connect switches, lamps, locks, and seat functions to an automotive body controller. Its verified 1/1 transceiver arrangement, full LIN operation, and -40°C to +150°C range match long-life vehicle environments. Place it between the host UART TXD and RXD signals and the physical LIN bus, then validate wake-up, fault reporting, and dominant-state behavior. Because the device is obsolete, continued use is most defensible for maintenance of an already qualified platform rather than a broadly supported new design.
Recommended
Vehicle Climate-Control Module
A climate-control module can use the TLE7259GNT to connect a blower controller, temperature sensor, door switch, or actuator through a 20 kBd LIN branch. The verified operating range of -40°C to +150°C supports harsh cabin and body-compartment conditions, while the 300 mV receiver hysteresis helps distinguish valid bus levels. The circuit should include approved LIN bus protection and the termination specified by the vehicle network. Validate sleep current and wake behavior against the exact datasheet because those values are absent from the supplied records.
Recommended
Door and Seat Control Module
TLE7259GNT is applicable to a LIN-connected door or seat controller when the existing network expects a 20 kBd physical layer. One transceiver handles command transmission and response reception, reducing the connection between the host microcontroller and distributed switches or motors. The verified automotive temperature grade and 3.5 V and 5.5 V family characterization make it relevant to established vehicle electrical systems. Before layout release, confirm the exact pin names, logic thresholds, LIN timing, and protection architecture from the manufacturer datasheet.
Recommended
Automotive Lighting Controller
The TLE7259GNT can interface a lighting-control module to a LIN branch controlling lamps or switch-status feedback. At 20 kBd, the verified interface rate is appropriate for commands, states, and diagnostics rather than dimming streams or sensor data requiring high bandwidth. The device's full LIN operation and one-driver, one-receiver arrangement support bidirectional controller communication. Layout review should prioritize clean LIN routing, connector surge protection, reference-ground return, and compliance with the exact transceiver application circuit.
Recommended
Automotive Sensor Gateway
A sensor gateway can terminate a 20 kBd LIN branch with TLE7259GNT while a host MCU manages acquisition and higher-level vehicle messaging. The physical-layer transceiver converts UART-domain serial data to LIN bus signaling and returns received frames to the controller. Its verified -40°C to +150°C operating range is relevant to distributed vehicle sensing. Because TLE7259GNT is obsolete, gateway maintenance programs should preserve exact footprint and pin definitions, secure traceable stock, and plan a supported platform migration instead of designing new long-life production around this part.
Recommended
Industrial and Retrofit LIN Controller
A legacy machine controller or laboratory retrofit can use TLE7259GNT when an existing 20 kBd LIN network must be connected to a modern UART-based controller. The broad verified operating range of -40°C to +150°C allows its use in equipment beyond ordinary room temperature, provided the power architecture remains within verified limits. Use the device only after checking the exact electrical specification, bus protection, and lifecycle risk. For new industrial designs, a currently supported LIN transceiver may reduce sourcing and qualification uncertainty.

Key Differentiators
- Verified 150°C upper operating temperature (vs TLE7259-2GE)
- Documented 300 mV receiver hysteresis (vs NCV7361AD)
- Explicit 20 kBd family positioning (vs TJA1021T/20/C)
- Documented continuation availability despite obsolete status (vs Generic new-design alternatives)
Design Notes
Do not substitute TLE7259GNT from family similarity alone. The verified comparison search notes electrical differences between related order codes, and the supplied evidence does not include complete pin or threshold tables. Before replacement, compare exact TXD and RXD logic levels, receiver hysteresis, LIN bus timing, supply limits, wake and sleep behavior, ESD structures, and package drawing. Treat TLE7259G, TLE7259-2GE, NCV7361AD, TJA1021T/20/C, and MCP2517FD-H/SL as review candidates rather than guaranteed production drop-ins.
Route the LIN connection as a controlled physical-layer net rather than a general-purpose logic trace. The verified package is P-DSO-8, but individual pin identities were not supplied, so freeze the footprint and routing only after checking the official package drawing. Preserve a direct, short return path through the transceiver ground reference, keep sensitive controller signals away from the LIN route, and place any required protection and filtering at the connector boundary. Review creepage, clearance, and surge requirements against the vehicle platform rather than nominal 3.5 V and 5.5 V operation.
The verified family description identifies 3.5 V and 5.5 V LIN operation, but it does not provide the TLE7259GNT regulator-current limits or absolute-maximum table. Confirm those values in the manufacturer datasheet before selecting local decoupling and estimating supply droop. Place required bypass capacitors close to the device pins according to that application circuit, validate startup sequencing, and test the complete node under minimum battery or supply conditions. Estimated power values are not provided because the necessary verified electrical limits are missing.
Obsolete status creates a sourcing risk even when distributor pages still advertise inventory. As of 2026-10-23, records conflict between immediate-shipping language, a reported stock quantity, RFQ-only sellers, and an obsolete lifecycle listing. Require authorized-source confirmation, date code, lot traceability, pack quantity, condition, warranty, and counterfeit-avoidance documentation. For long-lived automotive production, prepare a second-source or board-level migration because future replenishment cannot be assumed.
Compliance Information
The verified records identify automotive temperature grade but do not explicitly state RoHS, REACH, AEC-Q100, lead-free, halogen-free, or conflict-minerals status. No compliance claim is inferred from the distributor category or operating-temperature range.
