3 Connecting the UJA1169Ax-EVB into a CAN network
The following conditions must be met before powering up the system with a 12 V supply.
•
Connect all boards in the ECU to a common GND
•
Connect SPI pins to the MCU SPI master:
–
SDO (J3-03, J4-09) → MISO
–
SDI (J3-04, J4-07) → MOSI
–
SCK (J3-05, J4-11) → SCK
–
SCSN (J3-06, J4-05) → CS
•
Connect TXD/RXD (J3-01/J3-02, J4-18/J4-20) pins to the MCU CAN controller TXD/
RXD pins
•
Connect RSTN (J3-09/J5-05) to the MCU CAN controller reset pin
•
Connect CANH and CANL (J1-01/J1-02) to the CAN bus twisted-pair cables
•
Connect V1(J3-08, J5-03) to the MCU supply unit
•
For the UJA1169AXF-EVB, connect VEXT (J3-10) to the peripheral loads that need a
5 V supply (optional)
Once the above steps have been completed, the ECU/EVB can be powered up using an
external battery supply. The UJA1169A starts up in Forced Normal mode (if MTP is not
configured) or Standby mode (if MTP configured), awaiting commands from the MCU via
the SPI interface.
