The LIN mode provides master node and slave node connectivity on a LIN bus.
The LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial communication protocol which efficiently supports the control of mechatronic nodes in distributed automotive applications.
The main properties of the LIN bus are:
LIN provides cost efficient bus communication where the bandwidth and versatility of CAN are not required.
The LIN mode enables processing LIN frames with a minimum of action from the microprocessor.
