Low-cost transceiver enables in-vehicle networking
Alcatel has released an extremely low cost single-chip LIN transceiver that provides optimum performance and safety for automotive in-vehicle-networking (IVN) requirements.
The LIN transceiver chip with Alcatel's new Layer 2 LIN protocol, provides optimum performance and safety for today's automotive in-vehicle-networking (IVN) requirements, by delivering guaranteed data transmission at maximum LIN speed.
The bulletproof Layer 2 LIN protocol demonstrates robustness against noise spikes, ground shifts, bus loads and variations in supply voltage level and duty cycle.
Today, many solutions do not achieve maximum LIN network speeds without using a crystal oscillator and additional filtering to cope with harsh automotive conditions.
Alcatel's solution is an improved protocol that is able to operate under these conditions.
Alcatel's LIN solution is fully compliant with the LIN specification 1.2 standard.
As a partner in the LIN consortium, Alcatel supports standardisation of the low-cost LIN communication protocol.
This certification will mean that LIN products are fully compliant with the LIN specification - ensuring real interoperability.
