Microchip ATA6629 Development Kit ATA6629-EK

The development board for Atmel ATA6629/31 (ATA6629-EK, ATA6631-EK) devices is designed to give designers a quick start with the ICs and for prototyping and testing of new LIN designs
The ATA6631 is a fully integrated LIN transceiver in compliance with LIN specification 2.0, 2.1 and SAEJ2602-2 with a 5V/85mA low drop-out Voltage Regulator
The ATA6629 is identical, but the output voltage of the regulator is 3.3V instead of 5V

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.
