Did you know that drivers, passengers and even cargo can often benefit from up to 80 separate Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interconnect Network (LIN) modules placed throughout vehicles? These modules help implement a wide range of features that many of us use multiple times daily, without truly understanding what’s behind the button.
Want to take a look inside one of today’s car models and see where you can employ CAN and LIN? Click the link below to launch an in-cabin virtual view and explore a few of the functions that CAN and LIN help enable today. Once the page launches, you can manually scroll and pan inside the vehicle and easily identify those locations where CAN and LIN are prevalent. Click the icons to obtain additional information, including block diagrams and reference designs, and accelerate your knowledge of CAN and LIN technology.
