PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
This pin is the interface to the LIN protocol controller or SCI/UART of the MCU, which reports the state of the LIN bus voltage. LIN recessive (near battery) is represented by a high level on RXD and LIN dominant (near ground) is represented by a low level on RXD. The RXD output structure is an open-drain output stage. This allows the TPIC1021 to be used with 3.3 V and 5 V I/O microcontrollers. If the microcontroller’s RXD pin does not have an integrated pull-up, an external pull-up resistor to the microcontroller I/O supply voltage is required.
