The MCP2021A provides a bidirectional, half duplex communication physical interface to meet the LIN bus specification Revision 2.1 and SAE J2602-2. The device incorporates a voltage regulator with 5V or 3.3V 70 mA regulated power supply output. The regulator is short-circuit protected and also includes thermal shutdown. The device has been designed to meet the stringent quiescent current requirements of the automotive industry and will survive +43V load dump transients, reverse battery conditions, and double battery jump starts. The devices’ very low emissions, excellent robustness to automotive transients and very high ESD robustness have been confirmed by independent test authorities.
