Atmel Introduces LIN2.0 System Basis Chip with Industry-leading 6-kV ESD Protection
Atmel has announced the availability of its new Local Interface Network (LIN) system basis chip, ATA6620, which provides outstanding ESD protection (6 kV) and low current consumption as required in automotive applications.
Industry's Only Device with Silent Mode for Low Current Consumption
The current consumption can even be further reduced by the device's silent mode function that is unavailable in other LIN2.0 devices. Manufactured using Atmel's 0.8-micron BCDMOS process technology, the ATA6620 is optimized for operation up to 40 Volts and applications in harsh environments.
The ATA6620 includes a fully integrated LIN transceiver. The device interfaces the LIN protocol handler and the LIN bus. Improved slope control at the LIN bus ensures secure data communication of up to 20 kBaud with an RC oscillator for the protocol handling.
