Remark LIN stands for Local Interconnect Network and is a low-speed (1 to 20 kbps) serial communication
protocol intended to aid the cost reduction of an automotive network.
LIN communication is single-master communication, and up to 15 slaves can be connected to one
master.
The LIN slaves are used to control the switches, actuators, and sensors, and these are connected to the
LIN master via the LIN network.
Normally, the LIN master is connected to a network such as CAN (Controller Area Network).
In addition, the LIN bus uses a single-wire method and is connected to the nodes via a transceiver that
complies with ISO9141.
In the LIN protocol, the master transmits a frame with baud rate information and the slave receives it and
corrects the baud rate error. Therefore, communication is possible when the baud rate error in the slave
is ±15% or less.
Figures 14-1 and 14-2 outline the transmission and reception operations of LIN.

Notes 1. The wakeup signal frame is substituted by 80H transmission in the 8-bit mode.
2. The sync break field is output by hardware. The output width is the bit length set by bits 4 to 2 (SBL62
to SBL60) of asynchronous serial interface control register 6 (ASICL6) (see 14.4.2 (2) (h) SBF
transmission).
3. INTST6 is output on completion of each transmission. It is also output when SBF is transmitted.
Remark The interval between each field is controlled by software.
