For systems that require this high level of organization, LIN stacks are available for popular LIN MCUs, such as Silicon Labs’ C8051F5xx family. These stacks can be directly loaded onto the MCU.

Topping all of this protocol niceness off is a wide variety of LIN transceiver chips ranging from $0.25 to $0.50 for plain transceivers, on up to around a buck or two for “system basis” chips ...

Formost embedded systems, however, a compact stack using a minimum ofmemory is very important, as it can reduce production costs whenlarge volumes are produced. Fig 2: A Bluetooth protocol stack for ...

The new reference design uses the digital PSoC blocks to implement an example LIN bus application, and supports all of the recommended baud rates (2400, 9600 and 19,200). To develop the LIN bus ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Depending on the vehicle application, embedded systems typically use 8-bit, 16-bit and even 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs). With their low cost and ...

In some cases, applications can be based upon industry-accepted standards, as shown in Figure 10-27. For example, for devices that need to be able to connect to other devices to transfer data or to ...

Atmel has available a standalone LIN bus transceiver IC which complies with the latest LIN2.0 standard while providing ESD protection to 5kV. The device is designed to meet the 42V power requirements ...

Cypress has released a kit that enables designers to evaluate the Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interconnect Network (LIN) slave communication capability of Cypress’s PSoC programmable ...

LIN slave mop-up chip meets ISO26262 AMS had introduced a LIN companion chip for MCUs that complies with the automotive ISO26262 functional safety standard, claiming it to be the first. “ISO26262 ...
