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 (LIN) protocol specification provides a low-cost, short-distance, and low-speed network, enabling the implementation of a new level of ...

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 ...

The automotive industry is a very competitive environment where manufacturers are constantly looking for product differentiation and cost savings. Intelligent networks are becoming an important part ...

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.

LIN (Local Interconnected Network) is a serial communications protocol that supports the control of mechatronic nodes in distributed automotive applications. This paper discusses LIN network modeling ...

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 ...

The in-vehicle networks currently used in automobiles are based on a combination of several different data networking protocols, some of which have been in place for decades. There is the controller ...
