MCP2050
LIN Transceiver with Voltage Regulator
• Meets Stringent Automotive Design Requirements
Including “OEM Hardware Requirements for LIN,
CAN and FlexRay Interfaces in Automotive
Applications”, Version 1.3, May 2012
Features:
• The MCP2050 is compliant with:
- LIN Bus Specifications Version 1.3, 2.1 and
with SAE J2602-2
• Support Baud Rates Up to 20 kBaud
• 43V Load Dump Protected
• Multiple Package Options Including Small 5x5
QFN
• Maximum Continuous Input Voltage of 30V
• Wide LIN Compliant Supply Voltage, 6.0-18.0V
• Extended Temperature Range: -40 to +125°C
• Interface to PIC® EUSART and Standard USARTs
• Wake-Up on LIN Bus Activity or Local Wake Input
Description:
The MCP2050 provides a bidirectional, half-duplex
communication physical interface to meet the LIN bus
specification Revision 2.1 and SAE J2602. The device
incorporates a voltage regulator with 5V or 3.3V 70 mA
regulated power supply output. The on-chip WWDT
allows users to adjust the size of the reset window by
using an external resistor. The ratiometric VBAT pin
scales down VBAT to the range of VREG so it can be
monitored by an A/D converter.
• LIN Bus Pin
- Internal pull-up termination resistor and diode
for slave node
- Protected against VBAT shorts
- Protected against loss of ground
- High current drive
The device has been designed to meet the stringent
quiescent current requirements of the automotive
industry and will survive +43V load dump transients,
and double battery jumps.
• TXD and LIN Bus Dominant Time-Out Function
• Two Low-Power Modes
- Transmitter Off mode: 90 µA (typical)
- Power Down mode: 4.5 µA (typical)
