New from Microchip are the MCP2021 and MCP2022 LIN/SAE J2602 transceivers. The devices are third party LIN/J2602 approved, OEM approved, and AEC-Q100 certified to meet the requirements of global automotive manufacturers. They include built-in voltage regulators and are compliant with the LIN Bus 2.0/2.1 standards as well as the previous-generation LIN 1.X standards. The transceivers reduce the number of external components needed and their robustness and ESD performance enable reliable communication in even harsh environments. Additionally, their very low emissions eliminate the need for external shielding. Low power consumption in operational and standby modes (115 and 16 μA, respectively) makes the devices suitable for non ignition-switched applications, and helps extend battery life. Three low-cost development tools are available to help designers get started.
