Serial Communication Interface (SCI)/
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Module
This chapter describes the serial communication interface (SCI) / local interconnect network (LIN) module.
The SCI/LIN is compliant to the LIN 2.1 protocol specified in the LIN Specification Package. This module
can be configured to operate in either SCI (UART) or LIN mode.
NOTE: This chapter describes a superset implementation of the LIN/SCI module that includes
features and functionality that require DMA. Since not all devices have DMA capability,
consult your device-specific datasheet to determine applicability of these features and
functions to your device being used.
