Overview

Based on Microchip Technnology's MCP201 LIN transceiver, this LIN board provides a physical interface between a microcontroller and a LIN half-duplex bus. It is intended for automotive and industrial applications with serial bus speeds up to 20Kbaud. It provides a half-duplex, bidirectional communications interface between the microcontroller and the serial network bus and translates CMOS/TTL logic levels to LIN level logic, and vice versa. The MCP201's regulator has been specifically designed to operate in an automotive environment and will survive reverse battery connections, +40V load dump transients and double-battery jumps.

Features

• Based on Microchip's MCP201 LIN Transceiver.
• Connects directly to MikroElektronika's PIC, dsPIC, AVR and 8051 development boards and prototyping boards.
• Use with any microcontroller with UART interface.
• Provides screw terminals for easy connection to LIN network.
