7.9 Local Interconnect Network Interface (LIN)
The SCI/LIN module can be programmed to work either as an SCI or as a LIN. The core of the module is
an SCI. The hardware features of the SCI are augmented to achieve LIN compatibility.
The SCI module is a universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter that implements the standard nonreturn
to zero (NRZ) format. The SCI can be used to communicate, for example, through an RS-232 port or over
a K-line.
The LIN standard is based on the SCI (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter [UART]) serial data
link format. The communication concept is single-master/multiple-slave with a message identification for
multicast transmission between any network nodes.
