LIN Transceivers

LIN transceivers are interface ICs (integrated circuits) that are used to connect a controller or microcontroller to a LIN (Local Interconnect Network) bus. LIN is a serial communication protocol that is commonly used in automotive and other applications to allow multiple devices to communicate with each other using a single communication line. LIN transceivers are responsible for converting the digital signals from the controller or microcontroller into the appropriate voltage levels and waveforms for transmission over the LIN bus, and for converting the signals received from the bus back into a form that the controller or microcontroller can understand. LIN transceivers are available in a range of packages and configurations to suit different applications, and are an essential component of any system that uses the LIN protocol.
