The local interconnection network (LIN) standard is the first to address Class A open-multiplexing protocols within vehicles. It defines a low cost, serial communication system for distributed ...

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 ...

Nathan John of Cypress MicroSystems and Franck Gauthier of CrealieLogiciel Enfoui describe how PSoC microcontrollers can provide helpfor designers using the LIN bus. Automotive manufacturers face many ...

BOTHELL, Wash., September 19, 2002 – Cypress MicroSystems Inc., a subsidiary of Cypress Semiconductor (NYSE: CY), today announced a reference design that enables automotive engineers to build ...

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 ...

LIN (local-interconnect network) challenges CAN (controller-area network) for lowest cost in noncritical applications. Version 2.0 introduces new plug-and-play capability but costs memory. Vendors ...

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 ...

Melexis has unveiled a new LIN-to-LIN gateway that looks to overcomes the limitation of just 16 devices on a typical LIN bus. Each of the devices, the MLX81120, connects as a LIN slave on the main LIN ...

IKEA’s products are known for their clean, Scandinavian design and low cost, but it is their DIY or “assemble it yourself” feature that probably makes them so popular with hackers. We seem to receive ...
