Serial Communication Interface (SCI)/Local Interconnect

Network (LIN) Module

This chapter describes the serial communication interface (SCI) / local interconnect network (LIN) module.

The SCI/LIN is compliant to the LIN 2.1 protocol specified in the LIN Specification Package. This module

can be configured to operate in either SCI (UART) or LIN mode.

NOTE: This chapter describes a superset implementation of the LIN/SCI module that includes

features and functionality that require DMA. Since not all devices have DMA capability,

consult your device-specific datasheet to determine applicability of these features and

functions to your device being used.
