Kit aids automotive MCU development
Microchip's new PICDEM LIN development kit enables easy and efficient development of PICmicro microcontroller-based systems using the LIN bus protocol
The LIN (Local Interconnect Network) protocol was created as the standard for vehicle networks. The protocol enhances communication among vehicle subsystems, lowers system cost and improves reliability. Typical automotive applications include wiper controls, door locks, and sunroof controls.

LDO cuts power for long-term standby
Power-saving low-dropout regulator is ideal for applications requiring long battery runtimes and high tolerance for input-voltage variations
The PICDEM LIN development kit includes a set of boards, three PICmicro microcontrollers and example programs to demonstrate the LIN protocol in a simple distribution network.
The demonstration boards accept 18-, 28- and 40-pin DIP devices and feature a prototyping area, an onboard +12V regulator and a jumper to disconnect the onboard RC oscillator.
A control panel interface for the LIN bus master module, LIN bus slave modules, seat control module and an instrumentation panel module is included.
Additional features include an RF stage for remote keyless entry (RKE) function, RS232 interface capability, In-Circuit Serial Programming technology for each individual Flash module and a LIN-bus master featuring an MCP2510 CAN-bus interface.
