Introduction

LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a low speed (20 kbps) network using a single-wire bus comparable to the common ISO 9141 transmission specification. LIN is a 12V-bus network with a single master module and multiple slave modules.

Because of the low cost LIN can offer, LIN is becoming increasingly popular with automotive engineers. The LIN concept helps simplify the implementation of distributed electrical systems in all non safety-critical automotive applications such as door modules for window lifters, wing-mirrors, air conditioning, wipers, seat modules, ...
