In the late 1990s, five car makers, a communications tools manufacturer, and what is now Freescale Semiconductor founded the LIN Consortium to develop a low-cost automotive communications standard.
The local interconnection network (LIN) standard is the first to address Class A open-multiplexing protocols within vehicles. It defines a low cost, serial communication system for distributed ...
LIN (local-interconnect network) challenges CAN (controller-area network) for lowest cost in noncritical applications. Version 2.0 introduces new plug-and-play capability but costs memory. Vendors ...
Check out LIN and I2C for low speed networking needs. They are often better alternatives than SPI or CAN for many applications. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) and universal asynchronous ...
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 ...
