MCHPMCP2003B-E/MC
Overview
The MCP2003B-E/MC is a high-performance LINbus transceiver designed for bidirectional communication between a microcontroller and the LIN bus. It supports data rates up to 20kBaud and is engineered for extreme robustness in harsh automotive and industrial environments, featuring high immunity to electromagnetic interference and load dump protection up to 60V.
Why Choose This Part
This transceiver offers exceptional durability with 60V load dump protection and high ESD immunity, reducing the need for external protection components. Its ultra-low standby current of 5uA makes it suitable for battery-critical applications, while the small 2x3 DFN package saves significant PCB real estate.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To evaluate this part, use a microcontroller with a standard EUSART or LIN-compatible UART peripheral. Ensure proper bypass capacitors are placed near the VDD pin and follow LIN physical layer guidelines for bus termination, typically using a 1k ohm pull-up resistor for master nodes.
