LIN Transceiver

The NCV7380 is a physical layer device for a single wire data link capable of operating in applications where high data rate is not required and a lower data rate can achieve cost reductions in both the physical media components and in the microprocessor which uses the network. The NCV7380 is designed in accordance to the physical layer definition of the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) Protocol Specification, Rev. 1.3. The IC furthermore can be used in ISO9141 systems. Because of the very low current consumption of the NCV7380 in recessive state, it is suitable for ECU applications with low standby current requirements, whereby no sleep/wake−up control from the microprocessor is necessary.
