LIN Slave Specific Microcontroller

Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector (SPS) Slave (Local Interconnect Network) Specific microcontroller, the Flash based MC68HC908EY8, has been developed to enhance the range of systems solutions for in-vehicle communications and networking.

The device features an on chip peripheral set including dedicated functionality required to synchronize with a LIN Bus, which uses a single wire implementation to reduce cost and compliment CAN in low end nodes.

The device will be the first in a family of dedicated LIN devices from Motorola addressing the LIN market, and is expected to be qualified to full automotive AEC standards. Device features include high performance 8-bit (HC08) Core, 8K bytes of on chip Flash (with 10K write erase) and 256 bytes of RAM. The on chip RC Oscillator (+/- 2% accuracy) aids synchronization with the LIN bus and the Enhanced SCI allows 13 bit LIN break detection capability without the use of an external timer channel. The unit is packaged in a small footprint 32 pin QFP and including an 8-ch 8-bit A/D, two 16 bit dual channel timers and an SPI.
