i. LIN properties

/Single master_Multi-slave
-Arbitration not necessary
/Single wire implementation
/Supports the hot swapping
/self-synchronization without crystal in slave nodes
/Broadcast type serial network

//Byte oriented protocol//

/Data is sending byte by byte. One byte field contain

.Start bit (dominant)
.8-bits (data)
.Stop bit (recessive)
In data LSB bits are sent first.
ii. LIN bus

/It follows the wired AND logic

Master
/Communication is controlled by the master device.
/master device contain both master task and also slave task.

Slave
/slave device contain only slave task.

iii. LIN Frame format

//Message Header//

SCI : - Serial Communication Interface

PID : - Protected Identifier

SYNC Break Field:-

/It transmitted by master.
/It is nothing but Start of Frame
/It having minimum 13-dominant bits followed by a one break delimiter
bit (recessive).

SYNC Field:-
/It is transmitted by master
/All slave nodes synchronize with master
/It having 8-bits, Sync is defined as the character 0x55.

PID Field:-
/Transmitted by the master.
/It having total 8-bits.
/The lower 6-bits are Identifier and the upper 2-bits containing the
parity.
/length of the identifier is 6-bits.The LIN bus provides a total of
64 IDs.
>IDs 0 to 59 are used for carry the data (data-frame).
>60 & 61 are used to carry diagnostic data.
>62 are reserved for user-defined extensions.
>63 are reserved for future protocol enhancements.

Parity bits:-
//Message Response//

Data Bytes:-
/The data bytes field is transmitted by the slave task in the
response.
/This field contains from one to eight bytes of payload data bytes.

Checksum:-
/The checksum field is transmitted by the slave task in the response.
/It has 8-bit check sum value.

iv. LIN communication types

/In master_Slave communication the above figure indicates the

master sends the complete message frame (both header and response)
usually referred to as CMD (Command) frame.
/Here the message is broadcast.
/In slave to master communication Master requests a response from
one specific slave
/It is usually referred as request frame.

/In slave to slave communication one slave sends its response on

LIN network on or more slaves used this data.
/There is no need to data processing by the maser.

ix. Miscellaneous
/Do not need excessive bandwidth, performance, or extreme fault
tolerance.
/It is low cost to implement compare to CAN.
