Check out LIN and I2C for low speed networking needs. They are often better alternatives than SPI or CAN for many applications. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) and universal asynchronous ...

A car is a rolling pile of hundreds of microcontrollers these days — just ask any greybeard mechanic and he’ll start his “carburetor” rant. All of these systems and sub-systems need to talk to each ...

The UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is one of the most used device-to-device communication protocols. This article shows how to use a UART as a hardware communication protocol by ...

The K3 triggering and decoding option developed by Rohde & Schwarz for its RTM series allows CAN and LIN signals to be viewed at the protocol layer. Munich, Germany: The K3 triggering and decoding ...

Sampling now in a 144-pin package, this 60 MHz device carries 256 kbytes of flash, and supports up to six CAN channels and four LIN masters. Analog Devices intends to add a LIN 2.0-compliant ...

LIN (local-interconnect network) challenges CAN (controller-area network) for lowest cost in noncritical applications. Version 2.0 introduces new plug-and-play capability but costs memory. Vendors ...
