CHAPTER 17 LIN/UART MODULE (RLIN3)
17.1 Overview
The LIN/UART module is a hardware LIN communication controller that supports LIN Specification Package Revision 1.3,
2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and SAE J2602, and automatically performs frame communication and error determination.
The LIN/UART module is provided with UART mode and can also be used as a UART.
Table 17-1 gives the LIN/UART module specifications and Figures 17-1 and 17-2 show block diagrams of the LIN/UART
module.

separate transmission start requests (frame separate mode)
Slave
Mode in which header is automatically received with fixed baud rate
Mode in which header is automatically received with the baud rate set according to the
sync field measurement result of the sync field and break field detected
