Transceiver 2: Additional INH High Side Switch Output and High Voltage WAKE Input
1. Description
The Atmel
®
ATA6670 is a fully integrated Dual-LIN transceiver complying with the LIN
specification 2.0, 2.1, and SAEJ2602-2. There are two completely independent and
separated LIN transceivers integrated in one package (only the GND pins GND1 and
GND2 are internally connected). Each of them interfaces with the LIN protocol handler
and the physical layer.
The two LIN transceivers are nearly identical, the only difference is an additional wake
input and an INH output at transceiver 2.
The device is designed to handle the low-speed data communication in vehicles, for
example, in convenience electronics. Improved slope control at the LIN bus ensures
secure data communication of up to 20Kbaud with an RC oscillator for protocol han-
dling. Sleep mode guarantees minimal current consumption for each transceiver even
in the case of a floating bus line or a short-circuit on the LIN bus to GND. The Atmel
ATA6670 features advanced EMI and ESD performance.
