A car is a rolling pile of hundreds of microcontrollers these days — just ask any greybeard mechanic and he’ll start his “carburetor” rant. All of these systems and sub-systems need to talk to each ...
The local interconnect network, or LIN, gives auto designers a low-cost way to add new features to today's vehicles. The controller-area network (CAN) has emerged as the standard high-speed bus or ...
LIN (local-interconnect network) challenges CAN (controller-area network) for lowest cost in noncritical applications. Version 2.0 introduces new plug-and-play capability but costs memory. Vendors ...
The local interconnection network (LIN) standard is the first to address Class A open-multiplexing protocols within vehicles. It defines a low cost, serial communication system for distributed ...
Nathan John of Cypress MicroSystems and Franck Gauthier of CrealieLogiciel Enfoui describe how PSoC microcontrollers can provide helpfor designers using the LIN bus. Automotive manufacturers face many ...
