ADVANCE INFORMATION
TXD is the interface to the MCU LIN protocol controller or SCI and UART that is used to control the state of the LIN output. When TXD is low the LIN output is dominant (near ground) and when TXD is high the LIN output is recessive (near VSUP). TXDx is in the Vio domain (with CMOS input thresholds) and the input structure is compatible with 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers. TXD also integrates a weak pull-down and pull-up resistor. The LIN bus is protected from being stuck dominant (from a system failure driving TXD low) through the dominant state timer-out timer.
Upon every transition to normal mode, the LIN transmitter is blocked until TXDx goes high (recessive level) to prevent transmitting dominant (due to internal pull-down on TXDx).
