In the late 1990s, five car makers, a communications tools manufacturer, and what is now Freescale Semiconductor founded the LIN Consortium to develop a low-cost automotive communications standard.

The local interconnection network (LIN) standard is the first to address Class A open-multiplexing protocols within vehicles. It defines a low cost, serial communication system for distributed ...

The TH8082 is a physical layer device for a single wire data link capable of operating in applications where high data rate is not required and a lower data rate can achieve cost reductions in both ...

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 ...
