6.1.4 LIN-bus supporting function (channel 7 of unit 0 only)
Timer array unit is used to check whether signals received in LIN-bus communication match the LIN-bus communication
format.
(1) Detection of wakeup signal
The timer starts counting at the falling edge of a signal input to the serial data input pin (RxD0) of UART0 and the
count value of the timer is captured at the rising edge. In this way, a low-level width can be measured. If the low-
level width is greater than a specific value, it is recognized as a wakeup signal.
(2) Detection of sync break field
The timer starts counting at the falling edge of a signal input to the serial data input pin (RxD0) of UART0 after a
wakeup signal is detected, and the count value of the timer is captured at the rising edge. In this way, a low-level
width is measured. If the low-level width is greater than a specific value, it is recognized as a sync break field.
(3) Measurement of pulse width of sync field
After a sync break field is detected, the low-level width and high-level width of the signal input to the serial data input
pin (RxD0) of UART0 are measured. From the bit interval of the sync field measured in this way, a baud rate is
calculated.

signal high-/low-level width measurement.
