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 ...
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 ...
Cypress has released a kit that enables designers to evaluate the Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interconnect Network (LIN) slave communication capability of Cypress’s PSoC programmable ...
In the late 1990s, five car makers, a communications tools manufacturer, and what is now Freescale Semiconductor founded the LIN Consortium to develop a low-cost automotive communications standard.
Check out LIN and I2C for low speed networking needs. They are often better alternatives than SPI or CAN for many applications. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) and universal asynchronous ...
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 ...
