DESCRIPTION

The TPIC1021 is the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) physical interface, which integrates the serial transceiver

with wake up and protection features. The LIN bus is single wire, bi-directional bus typically used for low-speed

in-vehicle networks using baud rates between 2.4 kbps and kbps.

The LIN bus has two logical values: the dominant state (voltage near ground) represents logic ‘0’ and the

recessive state (voltage near battery) and represents logic ‘1’.

In the recessive state the LIN bus is pulled high by the TPIC1021’s internal pull-up resistor (30kΩ) and series

diode, so no external pull-up components are required for slave applications. Master applications require an

external pull-up resistor (1kΩ) plus series diode.

The LIN Protocol output data stream on the TXD pin is converted by the TPIC1021 into the LIN bus signal

through current limited, wave-shaping low-side driver with control as outlined by the LIN Physical Layer

Specification Revision 2.0. The receiver converts the data stream from the LIN bus and outputs the data stream

via the RXD pin.

In Low Power mode, the TPIC1021 requires very low quiescent current even though the wake-up circuits remain

active allowing for remote wake up via the LIN bus or local wake ups via NWake or EN pins.

The TPIC1021 has been designed for operation in the harsh automotive environment. The device can handle LIN

bus voltage swing from +40 down to ground and survive -40 V. The device also prevents feed current

through the LIN pin to the supply input in case of ground shift or supply voltage disconnection. It also features

under-voltage, over temperature, and loss of ground protection. In the event of fault condition the output is

immediately switched off and remains off until the fault condition is removed.
