LIN transceiver

  • LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602 compliant LIN transceiver
  • Enhanced error signalling and reporting
  • Downward compatible with LIN 1.3 and the TJA1020

Power management

  • Smart operating modes and power management modes
  • Cyclic wake-up capability in Standby and Sleep mode
  • Local wake-up input with cyclic supply feature
  • Remote wake-up capability via the LIN-bus
  • External voltage regulators can easily be incorporated in the power supply system (flexible and fail-safe)
  • 42 V battery related high-side switch for driving external loads such as relays and wake-up switches
  • Intelligent maskable interrupt output

Fail-safe features

  • Safe and predictable behavior under all conditions
  • Programmable fail-safe coded window and time-out watchdog with on-chip oscillator, guaranteeing autonomous fail-safe system supervision
  • Fail-safe coded 16-bit SPI interface for the microcontroller
  • Global enable pin for the control of safety-critical hardware
  • Detection and detailed reporting of failures:
    • On-chip oscillator failure and watchdog alerts
    • Battery and voltage regulator undervoltages
    • LIN-bus failures (short-circuits)
    • TXDL and RXDL clamping situations and short-circuits
    • Clamped or open reset line
    • SPI message errors
    • Overtemperature warning
  • Rigorous error handling based on diagnostics
  • Supply failure early warning allows critical data to be stored
  • 23 bits of access-protected RAM is available e.g. for logging of cyclic problems
  • Reporting in a single SPI message; no assembly of multiple SPI frames needed
  • Limp-home output signal for activating application hardware in case system enters Fail-safe mode (e.g. for switching on warning lights)
  • Fail-safe coded activation of Software development mode and Flash mode
  • One SPI readable device type identification
  • Software-initiated system reset
