1. LIN Bus 2.0 Kit
1.1 LIN Bus 2.0 Demonstration Kit Description
1.1.1 Introduction
The LIN Bus Demonstration Kit demonstrates the ability of
the PSoC® Programmable System-on-Chip™ to implement
LIN bus, Local Interconnect Network, standard protocol. The
LIN bus was developed to fill the need for a low cost auto-
motive network to complement existing networks. LIN bus
also finds many uses in non-automotive distributed systems
where a robust, low-speed and low-cost protocol is required.
Additional information is located on the LIN consortium web
site at http://www.lin-subbus.org where you can also find the
complete LIN specifications for version 2.0.
This design provides a flexible development environment for
creation of either slave or master LIN device applications
using the PSoC. The demonstration board has one master
and two slave nodes. Using dynamic reconfiguration, hard-
ware resources are minimized with low CPU overhead.
Design details on specific implementation provided with the
demonstration board are included in the supplied Lin Master
Node Design IP, Lin Slave Design IP, Application Note
AN2045, and in the corresponding project comments inside
PSoC Designer™.

1.3 Getting Started
The LIN bus demonstration board is preprogrammed to
demonstrate the LIN bus directly out of the box. To demon-
strate functionality, follow these steps:
1. Verify contents in design kit.
2. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet (international
plug adaptors are included). The power supply automati-
cally adapts to this voltage and frequency range: 100-
240 VAC at 50-60 Hz.
3. Connect the barrel plug of the power supply cord into the
demonstration board. The green power LED next to the
power jack lights.
The demonstration board is now fully operational and dem-
onstrates LIN bus operations. Functional details of the
examples running on the board can be found in section 1.4,
LIN Bus Demonstration, on page 6.
