The ATA663254 Click Board™ is a fully integrated LIN transceiver device with an integrated 5V LDO voltage regulator. The combination of voltage regulator and bus transceiver makes it possible to develop simple but powerful slave nodes in LIN bus systems. The integrated LDO can be used to provide power to the host MCU so that no additional voltage regulators are required, only the power supply connected to the LIN connector is needed. The ATA663254 Click Board™ features the under-voltage protection, short-circuit protection, TXD time-out timer and its LIN physical layer complies with LIN 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2A and SAEJ2602-2 standard specifications.
These features make the ATA663254 Click Board™ a perfect solution for realizing small and portable LIN based networks that are commonly used in automotive applications for communicating with the vehicle sensor peripherals, but also for any application where robust and interference-free communication up to 20Kbps is needed.
