Fully integrated LIN specification 2.0 and 2.1 -compliant transceiver with a low-drop voltage regulator for 3.3V/50mA output. The combination of voltage regulator and bus transceiver makes it possible to develop simple, but powerful, slave nodes in LIN Bus systems.The device is designed to handle low-speed data communication in vehicles and in convenience electronics. Improved slope control at the LIN-driver ensures secure data communication up to 20kBaud with an RC oscillator for the protocol handling. Sleep mode (voltage regulator switched off) and silent mode (communication off; VCC voltage on) features guarantee minimal current consumption.
