PRODUCTION DATA
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The LIN Protocol output data stream on the TXD pin is converted by the TPIC1021 into the LIN bus signal through a current limited, wave-shaping low-side driver with control as outlined by the LIN Physical Layer Specification Revision 2.1. The receiver converts the data stream from the LIN bus and outputs the data stream via the RXD pin.
In Low Power mode, the TPIC1021 requires very low quiescent current even though the wake-up circuits remain active allowing for remote wake up via the LIN bus or local wake ups via NWake or EN pins.
The TPIC1021 has been designed for operation in the harsh automotive environment. The device can handle LIN bus voltage swing from 40 V down to ground and survive –40 V. The device also prevents back feed current through the LIN pin to the supply input in case of a ground shift or supply voltage disconnection. It also features under-voltage, over temperature, and loss of ground protection. In the event of a fault condition the output is immediately switched off and remains off until the fault condition is removed.
