 LIN Concept
• TECHNICAL SOLUTION
– Low cost single-wire implementation
– Speed up to 20Kbit/s
– Single Master / Multiple Slave Concept
– Low cost silicon implementation
– UART/SCI interface
– Self synchronization

 Master / Slave Protocol
 Master
Controls the whole Bus and Protocol
 FUNCTIONS
 sends Sync Break, Sync Byte
 sends ID-Field
 receives WakeUp from slave nodes
 stable clock necessary
 Master/Slave Protocol
 Slave
 Is one of 2-16 Members on the Bus.
 receives or transmits Data when an
appropriate ID is sent by the master.
 determines what to do.
 sends 2, 4, or 8 Data Bytes and
Check-Byte.

MESSAGE
SYNCHRONISATION FIELD
 Message Frame
Synch Break:
 It is for slaves to detect a message is transmitted on the bus
 It consists of at least 13 bits of zeros.

 Specific Pattern for Determination of Time Base

 A Synch Byte precedes any Message Frame

Synch Byte:
 Identifier
ID-Field:
 Incorporates Information about the sender, the
receiver(s) and the Data field length.
 2 Parity Bits protect this highly sensitive ID-
Field.
 A total of 64 Message Identifiers are possible.

 LIN Advantages

 Easy to use
 Components available
 Cheaper than CAN and other
communications busses
 More reliable vehicles
 Extension easy to implement.
 Error detection by 8 bits checksum and 2 parity
bits in identifier
 CONCLUSION
 The LIN protocol for developing networks for
automobile
 More flexibility to the network
 It is Multiplexed Communication system.
