15. LIN / UART - Local Interconnect Network Controller or UART

The LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial communications protocol which efficiently

supports the control of mechatronics nodes in distributed automotive applications. The main

properties of the LIN bus are:

• Single master with multiple slaves concept

• Low cost silicon implementation based on common UART/SCI interface

• Self synchronization with on-chip oscillator in slave node

• Deterministic signal transmission with signal propagation time computable in advance

• Low cost single-wire implementation

• Speed up to 20 Kbit/s.

LIN provides a cost efficient bus communication where the bandwidth and versatility of CAN

are not required. The specification of the line driver/receiver needs to match the ISO9141

NRZ-standard.

If LIN is not required, the controller alternatively can be programmed as Universal Asynchro-

nous serial Receiver and Transmitter (UART).
