CHAPTER 17 LIN/UART MODULE (RLIN3)
17.1 Overview
The LIN/UART module is a hardware LIN communication controller that supports LIN Specification Package Revision 1.3,
2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and SAE J2602, and automatically performs frame communication and error determination.
The LIN/UART module is provided with UART mode and can also be used as a UART.
Table 17-1 gives the LIN/UART module specifications and Figures 17-1 and 17-2 show block diagrams of the LIN/UART
module.

Master
ï‚·ï€ Mode in which header transmission and response transmission/reception is started
with a single transmission start request

ï‚·ï€ Mode in which header is automatically received with fixed baud rate
ï‚·ï€ Mode in which header is automatically received with the baud rate set according to the
sync field measurement result of the sync field and break field detected
