Atmel Development Board ATA6630-EK

The development board for the Atmel® ATA6628/ATA6630 is designed to give users a quick start using these ICs and prototyping and testing new LIN designs
The Atmel ATA6628 and Atmel ATA6630 are System Basis Chips (SBCs) with a fullyintegrated LIN transceiver in compliance with the LIN specification 2.0, 2.1 and SAEJ2602-2
The SBCs each have a window watchdog with adjustable trigger time and a 3.3V/85mA respectively 5V/85mA low drop voltage regulator
The output current of the regulator can be boosted by using an external NPN transistor
In addition, the Atmel ATA6628/ATA6630 has an integrated voltage divider that makes it possible to measure the battery voltage precisely
ATA6628: LIN Bus Transceiver with 3.3V Regulator and Watchdog, High-speed Mode
ATA6630: LIN Bus Transceiver with 5.0V Regulator and Watchdog, High-speed Mode

LIN (Local Interconnect Network) Communication

LIN is a small, serial, slow, and cheap bus system. LIN is based on one master node and a number of LIN slaves (up to 16). It is a low-cost concept for automobile networks, for which it standardizes the transmission protocol, transmission medium, interface between development tools, and the interface for software programming.
