Microchip Technology, Inc. LIN Transceiver, no TXD- timeout- timer ATA6664

Fully integrated LIN specification 2.0, 2.1 and SAEJ2602-compliant transceiver with advanced EMI and ESD performance. In this device, the TXD-dominant time-out function is disabled so static low signals can be sent to the LIN bus. It interfaces the LIN protocol handler and the physical layer. The device is designed to handle low-speed data communication in vehicles and in convenience electronics. Improved slope control at the LIN bus ensures secure data communication at up to 20Kbaud with an RC oscillator for protocol handling. A sleep mode guarantees minimal current consumption, even in the case of a floating bus line or a short circuit on the LIN bus to GND.
