Description The Atmel® ATA6662C is a fully integrated LIN transceiver complying with the LIN specification 2.0, 2.1 and SAEJ2602-2. It interfaces the LIN protocol handler and the physical layer. The device is designed to handle the low-speed data communication in vehicles, for example, in convenience electronics. Improved slope control at the LIN driver ensures secure data communication up to 20Kbaud. Sleep Mode guarantees minimal current consumption. The Atmel ATA6662C has advanced EMI and ESD performance.

Functional Description Physical Layer Compatibility Since the LIN physical layer is independent from higher LIN layers (e.g., the LIN protocol layer), all nodes with a LIN physical layer according to revision 2.x can be mixed with LIN physical layer nodes, which, according to older versions (i.e., LIN 1.0, LIN 1.1, LIN 1.2, LIN 1.3), are without any restrictions. Supply Pin (VS) Undervoltage detection is implemented to disable transmission if VS falls to a value below 5V in order to avoid false bus messages. After switching on VS, the IC switches to Fail-safe Mode and INHIBIT is switched on....

Inhibit Output Pin (INH) This pin is used to control an external switchable voltage regulator having a wake-up input. The inhibit pin provides an internal switch towards pin VS. If the device is in Normal Mode, the inhibit high-side switch is turned on and the external voltage regulator is activated. When the device is in Sleep Mode, the inhibit switch is turned off and disables the voltage regulator. A wake-up event on the LIN bus or at pin WAKE will switch the INH pin to the VS level. After a system power-up (VS rises from zero), the pin INH switches automatically to the VS level. Wake-up Input...

High, except after wake up High ohmic Wake-up events from Sleep Mode: ● LIN bus Figure 3-1 on page 5, Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3 on page 7 show details of wake-up operations. Remote Wake-up via Dominant Bus State A voltage less than the LIN pre-wake detection VLINL at pin LIN activates the internal LIN receiver and switches on the internal slave termination between the LIN pin and the VS pin. A falling edge at pin LIN, followed by a dominant bus level VBUSdom maintained for a certain time period (tBUS) and a rising edge at pin LIN results in a remote wake-up request. The device switches to Fail-safe...

Local Wake-up via Pin WAKE A falling edge at pin WAKE, followed by a low level maintained for a certain time period (tWAKE), results in a local wake-up request. The wake-up time (tWAKE) ensures that no transient, according to ISO7637, creates a wake-up. The device switches to Fail-safe Mode. Pin INH is activated (switches to VS) and the internal termination resistor is switched on. The local wakeup request is indicated by a low level at pin RXD to interrupt the microcontroller and a strong pull-down at pin TXD (see Figure 3-3). The voltage threshold for a wake-up signal is 3V below the VS voltage...

Pin EN provides a pull-down resistor to force the transceiver into Sleep Mode if EN is disconnected. The reverse current is < 2µA at pin LIN during loss of VBAT; this is optimal behavior for bus systems where some slave nodes are supplied from battery or ignition. The implemented hysteresis, Thys, enables the LIN output again after the temperature has been decreased. Pin RXD is set floating if VBAT is disconnected. Pin TXD provides a pull-down resistor to provide a static low if TXD is disconnected. The LIN output driver has a current limitation, and if the junction temperature Tj exceeds the...

Absolute Maximum Ratings Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
