About this manual

The TPIC1021 is a LIN (Local Interconnect Network) physical interface that integrates a serial transceiver with wake-up and protection features. It complies with the LIN Physical Layer Specification Revision 2.0 and supports bus speeds up to 20 kbps. The device includes an integrated pull-up resistor and series diode for slave applications, eliminating the need for external components in those configurations.

Designed for harsh automotive environments, the TPIC1021 can handle LIN bus voltage swings from -40 V to +40 V DC. It features dominant state timeout protection on the TXD pin, ESD protection up to 12 kV (Human Body Model), and thermal shutdown. The chip operates with a supply voltage range of 7 V to 27 V DC.

Frequently asked questions

Does the TPIC1021 require an external pull-up resistor for slave applications?

No, it has an integrated pull-up resistor and series diode on the LIN pin.

What happens if the TXD pin is driven permanently low?

The Dominant State Timeout Timer disables the transmitter to allow the bus to return to the recessive state.
