Comparison of U1 vs IC1

Table

CategoryU1IC1Main difference
PartU1IC1Different vendors: NXP vs TI
FunctionLIN transceiverLIN transceiverSame basic role
LIN standard supportLIN 2.x / ISO 17987-4:2016 / SAE J2602LIN 2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2 / 2.2A / ISO 17987-4 / SAE J2602-1Very similar compliance; IC1 explicitly lists more LIN revisions
Automotive qualificationNot explicitly called out in the extracted sectionAEC-Q100 Grade 1, Functional Safety-CapableIC1 is more explicitly automotive-qualified
Operating supply voltage5.5 V to 27 V on VBAT4.5 V to 36 V on VSUPIC1 has a much wider operating supply range
Absolute max supply voltage-0.3 V to +40 V-0.3 V to +45 VIC1 tolerates higher supply stress
Recommended LIN bus voltageStatic characteristics given for VBAT 5.5 V to 27 V0 V to 36 VIC1 supports wider bus operating voltage
Absolute max LIN bus voltage-40 V to +40 V-45 V to +45 VIC1 is more fault-tolerant on LIN
Load dump / fault toleranceISO 7637 transient protection, short-circuit proof to battery and groundExplicit 42 V load dump support, ±45 V LIN fault tolerantIC1 is stronger on published fault tolerance
Logic input compatibilityCompatible with 3.3 V and 5 V devicesLogic pins specified for 0 V to 5.25 VU1 explicitly calls out 3.3 V compatibility; IC1 gives tighter logic-voltage limits
RXD outputOpen-drain, 1.5 mA min low-level sinkOpen-drain, 1.5 mA low-level sink, 0.6 V max low levelSimilar drive capability
INH output current-50 mA to +15 mA absolute max4 mA absolute maxU1 can drive a much heavier INH load
INH behaviorSwitch resistance VBAT-to-INH: 20 typ / 50 max ohmsINH high-level drop vs VSUP: 0.5 V to 1 V at -0.5 mADifferent output characterization; U1 looks more suitable for stronger regulator-enable sourcing
Sleep current2 typ / 7 typ? / 10 max uA listed as 2 / 7 / 10 uA depending on min/typ/maxINH leakage in sleep -0.5 to 0.5 uA; full sleep supply current not in extracted sectionU1 has more complete low-power current data in the extracted content
Standby current150 / 450 / 1000 uA recessiveNot captured in extracted sectionU1 gives clearer standby current numbers here
Normal-mode supply current300 / 800 / 1600 uA recessive, 1 / 2 / 4 mA dominantNot captured in extracted sectionU1 has more extracted current-consumption detail

WAKE pin thresholdsVIH VBAT - 1 V to VBAT + 0.3 V, VIL -0.3 V to VBAT - 3.3 VVIH VSUP - 1.8 V, VIL VSUP - 3.85 VThresholds differ; firmware and interface assumptions may not port 1:1
LIN pull-up / terminationIntegrated termination resistor, extracted values 20 / 30 / 47 kOhmIntegrated pull-up 20 / 45 / 60 kOhm, feature summary says 45 kOhm nominalPull-up network values differ

Temperature rangeJunction / virtual junction -40 C to +150 CJunction -40 C to +150 C operating, abs max to 165 CSimilar operating range; IC1 has higher absolute max junction rating
ESD robustnessExplicit: +-6 kV IEC 61000-4-2 on LIN/VBAT/WAKE, stronger HBM/CDM detailProtection features listed, but less ESD detail in extracted sectionU1 provides more explicit ESD numbers

Main takeaways

Table

TopicSummary
Best electrical robustnessIC1
Best supply-voltage flexibilityIC1 with 4.5 V to 36 V operation
Stronger INH output capabilityU1
Better-extracted low-power current detailU1
More automotive-specific positioningIC1
Biggest practical migration riskControl-pin semantics and the package/pad difference at pin 9
The biggest differences are:
  • IC1 is electrically wider-range and more fault-tolerant.
  • U1 has a much stronger INH output capability.
  • The control pins are not a drop-in semantic match: ~SLP~ vs EN, and ~WAKE~ vs WAKE.
  • Your symbols also differ at pin 9: U1 has a second ground pin, while IC1 has an exposed pad.
If you want, I can also make a second table that is strictly parameter-by-parameter with only numeric electrical specs side by side.
