Development kit simplifies LIN-based systems designs

3 July 2002 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Microchip's PICDEM LIN Development Kit enables easy and efficient development of PICmicro microcontroller-based systems using the LIN bus protocol. The LIN (Local Interconnect Network) protocol was created as the standard for vehicle networks. The protocol enhances communication among vehicle subsystems, lowers system costs and improves reliability. Typical automotive applications include wiper controls, door locks and sunroof controls.

The PICDEM LIN Development Kit includes a set of boards, three PICmicro microcontrollers and example programs to demonstrate the LIN protocol in a simple distribution network. The demonstration boards accept 18-, 28- and 40-pin DIP devices and feature a prototyping area, an on-board +12 V regulator and a jumper to disconnect the on-board RC oscillator. A control panel interface for the LIN bus master module, LIN bus slave modules, seat control module and an instrumentation panel module is included. Additional features include an RF stage for remote keyless entry (RKE) function, RS232 interface capability, In-Circuit Serial Programming technology for each individual Flash module and a LIN-Bus master featuring an MCP2510 CAN-Bus interface.

A copy of Application Note 729 'LIN Protocol Specification Implementation with PICmicro Microcontrollers', which describes the bus protocol and its implementation, can be found at www.microchip.com
