TJA1463 and TJA1462
CAN Signal Improvement Capability Transceiver with Sleep Mode
TJA1463
The TJA1463 CAN signal improvement capability (SIC) transceiver with sleep mode is part of the TJA146x transceiver family that implements CAN SIC as defined in CiA 601-4. By meeting the CAN physical layer as defined in ISO11898-2:2016 and SAE J2284-(1-5), the TJA1463 is fully interoperable with high-speed classical CAN and CAN FD.
CAN signal improvement significantly reduces signal ringing on a network, allowing reliable CAN FD communication to function at 5 Mbit/s in larger topologies. In addition, the TJA1462 features a much tighter bit timing symmetry performance to enable CAN FD communication up to 8 Mbit/s.
The TJA1463 is backwards compatible and a drop-in replacement for classical CAN and CAN FD transceivers, such as NXPs TJA1043 and TJA1443.

TJA1462
The TJA1462 CAN signal improvement capability (SIC) transceiver with standby mode is part of the TJA146x transceiver family that implements CAN SIC as defined in CiA 601-4. By meeting the CAN physical layer as defined in ISO11898-2:2016 and SAE J2284-(1-5), the TJA1462 is fully interoperable with high-speed classical CAN and CAN FD.
CAN signal improvement significantly reduces signal ringing on a network, allowing reliable CAN FD communication to function at 5 Mbit/s in larger topologies. In addition, the TJA1462 features a much tighter bit timing symmetry performance to enable CAN FD communication up to 8 Mbit/s.
The TJA1462 is backwards compatible and a drop-in replacement for classical CAN and CAN FD transceivers, such as NXPs TJA1042 and TJA1044GT.

Key benefits:
- Large, complex topologies now possible at 2+Mbps avoids daisy-chain limitations, reduces cable length, larger networks
- Accelerate networks faster than before: 5-8Mbps
- Building controls where faster data speed is needed
- Run CAN FD networks on low-cost PVC cables
- Save costs to optimize networks
- Drop-in replacement without adaptation for Software and Hardware
- Easy design-in with no extra efforts

EdgeLock® SE050 secure element
Product Description
Integrating a secure element into an industrial device adds security and integrity to the design, by protecting against unauthorized access and data manipulation, and is also a convenient way to meet the strict requirements of ISA/IEC 62443 standards.
The EdgeLock® SE050 is a tamper-resistant, CC EAL 6+ certified platform that helps secure IoT devices and meet the stringent requirements of ISA/IEC 62443 standards, while eliminating much of the complexity of the security implementation.
The EdgeLock® SE050 comes with a pre-installed feature rich security applet, designed for use with the IIoT, as well as an extensive set of enablement in terms of middleware components that simplify integration. It includes extensive countermeasures to address the most recent attack scenarios and includes well-established security primitives, such as ECC and RSA cryptography algorithms.
When used as a root of trust, the EdgeLock® SE050 also supports on-chip key generation, with hardware-based secure key storage. To reduce time-to-market and cost for complex PKI infrastructures, the EdgeLock® SE050 can be preconfigured with credentials, during production or before shipment from a distributor. Also, because the credentials are securely stored in silicon, and never leave the IC, the chain of trust is preserved during the entire product lifecycle. The result is true end-to- end security for IIoT devices.
The EdgeLock® SE050 platform is designed to satisfy the ISA/ IEC 62443 requirements relating to device identity, crypto functionality, secure provisioning, secure storage, and secure protocols. In particular, the EdgeLock® SE050 provides the IIoT device with a secure identity that is then used with mutual authentication, sensor authentication, cloud onboarding, and other IIoT tasks.
Both EdgeLock® SE050 and EdgeLock SE051 are IEC62443-4-1 certified, covered through the NXP certification of the product development lifecycle with maturity level 3. On top, the EdgeLock SE051 functionality applicable for IEC62443 has been certified according to IEC62443-4-2. NXP’s application note AN12660 Ease ISA/IEC 62443 compliance with EdgeLock SE05x guides you how to use the features of EdgeLock SE05x HW, SW and MW in order to achieve the requirements of the standard.
