1.Description
The ATA6662 is a fully integrated LIN transceiver complying with the LIN
specification 2.0 and SAEJ2602-2. It interfaces the LIN protocol handler and the physical layer. The device is designed to handle the low-speed data communication in
vehicles, for example, in convenience electronics. Improved slope control at the LIN
bus ensures secure data communication up to 20 Kbaud with an RC oscillator for protocol handling. Sleep mode guarantees minimal current consumption. The ATA6662
has advanced EMI and ESD performance.

3.1Supply Pin (VS)
Undervoltage detection is implemented to disable transmission if VS falls to a value below 5V in
order to avoid false bus messages. After switching on V
and INHIBIT is switched on. The supply current in sleep mode is typically 10 µA.
3.2Ground Pin (GND)
The ATA6662 is neutral on the LIN pin in the case of a GND disconnection. It is able to handle a
ground shift up to 11.5% of V
3.3Bus Pin (LIN)
A low-side driver with internal current limitation and thermal shutdown and an internal pull-up
resistor are implemented as specified for LIN 2.0. The voltage range is from –27V to +40V. This
pin exhibits no reverse current from the LIN bus to V
disconnection. The LIN receiver thresholds are compatible to the LIN protocol specification.The
fall time (from recessive to dominant) and the rise time (from dominant to recessive) are slope
controlled. The output has a self-adapting short circuit limitation; that is, during current limitation,
as the chip temperature increases, the current is reduced.

3.4Input Pin (TXD)
This pin is the microcontroller interface to control the state of the LIN output. TXD is low to bring
LIN low. If TXD is high, the LIN output transistor is turned off. Then, the bus is in recessive mode
via the internal pull-up resistor. The TXD pin is compatible to both a 3.3V or 5V supply.
3.5TXD Dominant Time-out Function
The TXD input has an internal pull-down resistor. An internal timer prevents the bus line from
being driven permanently in dominant state. If TXD is forced low longer than t
LIN will be switched off (recessive mode). To reset this mode, switch TXD to high (>10 µs)
before switching LIN to dominant again.
3.6Output Pin (RXD)
This pin reports to the microcontroller the state of the LIN bus. LIN high (recessive) is reported
by a high level at RXD, LIN low (dominant) is reported by a low voltage at RXD. The output is an
open drain, therefore, it is compatible to a 3.3V or 5V power supply. The AC characteristics are
defined with a pull-up resistor of 5 kΩ to 5V and a load capacitor of 20 pF. The output is
short-current protected. In unpowered mode (V

while TXD is already set to high, the device is switched to sleep mode and no transmission is
possible. In sleep mode, the LIN bus pin is connected to V
The device can transmit only after being woken up (see Section 3.8, “Inhibit Output Pin (INH)” ).
During sleep mode the device is still supplied from the battery voltage. The supply current is typically 10 µA. The pin EN provides a pull-down resistor in order to force the transceiver into sleep
mode in case the pin is disconnected.
3.8Inhibit Output Pin (INH)
This pin is used to control an external switchable voltage regulator having a wake-up input. The
inhibit pin provides an internal switch towards pin V

3.9Wake-up Input Pin (WAKE)
This pin is a high-voltage input used to wake the device up from sleep mode. It is usually connected to an external switch in the application to generate a local wake-up. If you do not need a
local wake-up in your application, connect pin WAKE directly to pin VS. A pull-up current source
with typically –10 µA is implemented. The voltage threshold for a wake-up signal is 3V below the
VS voltage with an output current of typically –3 µA.

3.13Wake-up Source Recognition
The device can distinguish between a local wake-up request (pin WAKE) and a remote wake-up
request (dominant LIN bus). The wake-up source can be read on pin TXD in pre-normal mode. If
an external pull-up resistor (typically 5 kΩ) has been added on pin TXD to the power supply of
the microcontroller, a high level indicates a remote wake-up request (weak pull-down at pin
TXD) and a low level indicates a local wake-up request (strong pull-down at pin TXD).
The wake-up request flag (signalled on pin RXD) as well as the wake-up source flag (signalled
on pin TXD) are reset immediately if the microcontroller sets pin EN to high (see Figure 3-2 on
page 7 and Figure 3-3 on page 7).
