LIN Physical Layer Interface - LIN
The LIN bus pin provides a physical layer for single-wire communication in automotive applications. The LIN physical layer is
designed to meet the LIN physical layer version 2.1 specification, and has the following features:
LIN physical layer 2.1 compliant
Slew rate selection 20 kBit, 10 kBit, and fast Mode (100 kBit)
Over-temperature Shutdown - HTI
Permanent Pull-up in Normal mode 30 k
, 1.0 M in low power
Current limitation
The LIN driver is a Low Side MOSFET with current limitation and thermal shutdown. An internal pull-up resistor with a serial diode
structure is integrated, so no external pull-up components are required for the application in a slave node. The fall time from
dominant to recessive and the rise time from recessive to dominant is controlled. The symmetry between both slopes is
guaranteed.

LIN Pin
The LIN pin offers high susceptibility immunity level from external disturbance, guaranteeing communication during external
4.14.2
Slew Rate Selection
The slew rate can be selected for optimized operation at 10 kBit/s and 20 kBit/s as well as a fast baud rate (100 kBit) for test and
programming. The slew rate can be adapted with the bits LINSR[1:0] in the LIN Register (LINR). The initial slew rate is 20 kBit/s.
4.14.3
Over-temperature Shutdown (LIN Interrupt)
The output Low Side FET (transmitter) is protected against over-temperature conditions. In case of an over-temperature
condition, the transmitter will be shut down and the bit LINOTC in the LIN Register (LINR) is set as long as the condition is
present.
If the LINOTIE bit is set in the LIN Register (LINR), an Interrupt IRQ will be generated. Acknowledge the interrupt by reading the
LIN Register (LINR). To issue a new interrupt, the condition has to vanish and occur again.
The transmitter is automatically re-enabled once the over-temperature condition is gone and TxD is High.
4.14.4
Low Power Mode and Wake-up Feature
During Low Power mode operation the transmitter of the physical layer is disabled. The receiver is still active and able to detect
Wake-up events on the LIN bus line.
A dominant level longer than tPROPWL followed by a rising edge, will generate a wake-up event and be reported in the Wake-up
Source Register (WSR).
4.14.5
J2602 Compliance
A Low Voltage Shutdown feature was implemented to allow controlled J2602 compliant LIN driver behavior under Low Voltage
conditions (LVSD=0).
When an under-voltage occurs on VS1 (LVI), the LIN stays in recessive mode if it was in recessive state. If it was in a dominant
state, it waits until the next dominant to recessive transition, then it stays in the recessive state.
