The LIN connection is established by attaching wires to the onboard screw terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Click communicates with the target MCU through the UART interface and runs on a 3.3V power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eATA663211 Click can aslo be used as a standalone LIN transceiver, without being connected to a mikroBUS� socket. An onboard LDO (low-dropout regulator) enables it to get its power supply through the VS line screw terminal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLIN TRANSCEIVER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLIN or Local Interconnect Network is a protocol used for communicating between components in vehicles. These days cars have hundreds of sensor applications to measure things like temperature, pressure, air flow, speed, etc. All these applications need to communicate with the main system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe LIN bus was created by European car manufactures in order to establish a new, uniform communication standard.

In sleep mode the current consumption is typically 9μA � this is the lowest current consumption mode. It automatically switches to fail-safe mode at system power-up or after a wake-up event. In fail-safe mode it typically uses 80μA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT DOES A LIN TRANSCEIVER DO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLIN or Local Interconnect Network is a protocol used for communication between components in vehicles. The car industry has changed profoundly during this century. Cars have hundreds of sensor applications to measure things like temperature, pressure, air flow, speed, etc. All these applications need to communicate with the main system. The LIN bus was created by European car manufactures in order to establish a new, uniform communication standard. It can be used with CAN (Controller Area Network), but LIN is more cost-effective for simple sensor networks in vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut what is the difference between LIN and CAN network protocols? CAN is an a really complex interface, and with so many electronic components in a car the manufactures needed a cheaper alternative. The LIN interface is simpler than CAN � LIN uses a single wire communication and the slave nodes are clocked by only one master. CAN interface has nodes that can act independently, receive messages and act. It can have more than one master on the CAN bus. A LIN network is usually made of up to 16 nodes - one master and 15 slaves. This serial communications protocol is also well suited for other industrial applications with electrically harsh environments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eInterface: GPIO, UART\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompatibility: mikroBUS�\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 42.9 x 25.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInput Voltage: 3.3V\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/assets\/d\/2\/c\/1\/4\/Schematic-20304-MIKROE_ATA663211_Click.pdf\"\u003eSchematic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/assets\/b\/7\/c\/a\/f\/atmel-9359-lin-networking-ata663211-datasheet.pdf\"\u003eATA663211 IC Datasheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mikroe.com\/mikrosdk\"\u003emikroSDK\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/MikroElektronika\/mikrosdk_click_v2\/tree\/master\/clicks\/ata663211\"\u003eGitHub\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"sparkfun-10","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40531140345941,"sku":"20304:DEV-20304:spark","price":3375.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/1611\/products\/20304_-_MIKROE_ATA663211-_01.jpg?v=1678248480","url":"https:\/\/www.tanotis.com\/products\/sparkfun-mikroe-ata663211-click","provider":"Tanotis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
