LIN transceiver for automotive sensor applications
Microchip Technology
MCP2003 and MCP2004 LIN transceiver
Microchip has announced the MCP2003 and MCP2004 standalone LIN transceivers for automotive applications including rain sensors, sunroofs, window lift and other sensor/actuator-based systems.
The AEC-Q100-certified devices are third-party-LIN/J2602 approved and satisfy the stringent requirements of automotive manufacturers.
The transceivers are compliant with the LIN bus 1.X/2.0/2.1 and SAE J2602 standards and feature ESD and EMC performance for reliable communication in harsh environments.
The transceivers have low current consumption ratings, allowing for extended battery life and more efficient non-ignition-switched applications.
The MCP2003/4 family represents Microchip's third generation of LIN/SAE J2602 transceivers, following the company's previous-generation MCP2021/2 transceivers with an integrated voltage regulator.
The MCP2003/4 family's EMC performance results in more robust designs that are less susceptible to system faults.
This feature also lowers costs by making systems more efficient, with few to no external components required.
The devices also appropriate for many non-automotive applications, including those in the industrial (large lawn mowers, golf carts, metering and door lock); medical (motors and control panels on wheel chairs, and hospital beds); and appliance markets (washing machine and stove control panels and sensors).
The new MCP2003/4 transceivers are supported by the PICDEM CAN-LIN 3 Demonstration Board (part No DM163015); the ECAN/LIN PICtail Plus Daughter Board (part No AC164130) and the LIN Serial Analyzer (part No APGDT001).
