Microchip Technology, Inc. Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers MCP2003A-E/P

The MCP2003A-E/P is a LIN transceiver designed for automotive and industrial applications, compliant with LIN Bus Specifications 1.3, 2.0, and 2.1, as well as SAE J2602. It supports baud rates up to 20 Kbaud and operates within a supply voltage range of 6.0V to 27.0V. The device features high electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity, with ratings exceeding 20 kV on V_{BB} and 14 kV on L_{BUS}, ensuring robust performance in demanding environments. This transceiver includes internal protection against short circuits and overtemperature conditions, along with an automatic thermal shutdown feature. It operates effectively across an extended temperature range of -40¬8C to +125¬8C. The MCP2003A-E/P is specifically designed to interface with PIC¬Æ microcontrollers and standard USARTs, providing a reliable communication link in LIN bus systems. It is important to note that this part is not recommended for new designs, with alternatives such as the ATA663211 or MCP2003B suggested for new projects.
