The SN65HVDA100-Q1 device is a Local
Interconnect Network (LIN) physical interface, which integrates the serial
transceiver with wakeup and protection features. The LIN bus is a single-wire
bidirectional bus typically used for low-speed in-vehicle networks using data rates
from 2.4 kbps to 20 kbps. The LIN protocol output data stream on TXD is converted by
the SN65HVDA100-Q1 into the LIN bus signal through a current-limited wave-shaping
driver as outlined by the LIN Physical Layer Specification and ISO 17987. The
receiver converts the data stream from the LIN bus and outputs the data stream
through RXD. The LIN bus has two states: dominant state (voltage near ground) and
recessive state (voltage near battery). In the recessive state, the LIN bus is
pulled high by the internal pullup resistor (30 kΩ) and series diode, so no external
pullup components are required for responder applications. Commander applications
require an external pullup resistor (1 kΩ) plus a series diode per the LIN
specification.
