AMIS-30600: LIN Transceiver

The single-wire transceiver AMIS-30600 is a monolithic integrated circuit in a SOIC-8 package. It works as an Interface between the protocol controller and the physical bus. The AMIS-30600 is especially suitable to drive the bus line in LIN systems in automotive and industrial applications. Further it CAN be used in standard ISO9141 systems. In order to reduce the current consumption the AMIS-30600 offers a stand-by mode. A wake-up caused by a message on the bus pulls the INH-output high until the device is switched to normal operation mode. The transceiver is implemented in I2T100 technology enabling both High-Voltage Analog circuitry and digital functionality to co-exist on the same chip. The AMIS-30600 provides an ultra-safe solution to todays automotive in-vehicle networing (IVN) requirements by providing unlimited short Circuit Protection in the event of a fault condition.
