The new LIN SBC (system basic chip) family from Freescale Semiconductor has been crafted to provide both EMC and ESD performance for LIN® (local interconnect network) vehicle networks. This family features three highly integrated, pin-compatible devices. The MC33910G5 combines power management capabilities that contribute to low battery discharge during low-power modes, a robust LIN physical layer, and a high-side driver. Also, the MC33911G5 features a DC motor pre-driver, and the MC33912G5 offers a DC motor pre-driver with current sensing. The LIN SBC family is well suited to space-constrained, electromagnetically sensitive LIN slave applications, including designs that require motor control and current monitoring. When combined with a Freescale 8-bit SO8 microcontroller (MCU) or an entry-level 16-bit S12 MCU, the SBC devices can be applied to a wide range of automotive comfort and body applications. SBC/MCU applications are widely used in door systems, power mirrors, window lifts, sunroofs, multifunction steering wheels, HVAC and fan controls, lighting controls, and LIN network-controlled wipers.Learn more at the Freescale Semiconductor website.
