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 a single wire, bi-directional bus typically used for low-speed
in-vehicle networks using baud rates between 2.4 kbps and 20 kbps.
The LIN bus has two logical values: the dominant state (voltage near ground) represents a 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 a series diode.
The LIN Protocol output data stream on the TXD pin is converted by the TPIC1021 into the LIN bus signal
through a 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 V down to ground and survive -40 V. The device also prevents back feed current
through the LIN pin to the supply input in case of a ground shift or supply voltage disconnection. It also features
under-voltage, over temperature, and loss of ground protection. In the event of a fault condition the output is
immediately switched off and remains off until the fault condition is removed.
