Overview

The TLIN2021ADDFRQ1 is a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) physical layer transceiver designed for automotive and industrial communication. It supports a wide operating voltage from 4.5V to 45V and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified for harsh environments. The device serves as an interface between the data link controller and the physical bus, capable of handling data rates up to 20kbps.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver offers ultra-low power consumption in sleep mode, drawing only 12uA, which is critical for battery-powered systems. It features integrated protection against ESD, overtemperature, and bus shorts, while the SOT-23-8 package provides a small footprint for dense PCB designs.

Applications

Automotive Body Control
Ideal for door modules, window lifters, and seat controllers where low-speed, cost-effective networking is required.
Industrial Sensor Networks
Provides a robust communication link for smart sensors and actuators in 12V or 24V industrial systems.
Climate Control Systems
Used to interface HVAC flap motors and control panels within vehicle cabins.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, connect the LIN bus pin to a 12V or 24V supply via the integrated 45-kOhm resistor or an external pull-up. Use the INH pin to control downstream voltage regulators and ensure the RXD and TXD pins are interfaced with a 3.3V or 5V microcontroller UART. Proper decoupling capacitors on the VSUP pin are essential for EMC performance.
