LIN Bus Explained - A Simple Intro (2020)

Need a simple intro to LIN bus? In this video tutorial we introduce the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) basics incl. LIN vs. CAN, how LIN works and the six LIN frame types.

LIN bus is a supplement to CAN bus. It provides lower performance and reliability - but also lower costs. As a result, LIN clusters are often used in applications that are not safety critical - like window wipers, airconditions etc.

LIN clusters consist of 1 master and up to 16 slave nodes. It is single-wire with 1-20 kbit/s and suppports error detection, checksums and configuration - as well as sleep-mode and wakeup.

In LIN systems, a LIN master loops through slave nodes, sending a request for information (polling) and each slave responds accordingly with up to 8 bytes of data. Frame types include unconditional, event triggers, sporadic, diagnostic, user defined and reserved frames.

Advanced topics include the LIN Node Configuration File (NCF) and LIN Description File (LDF). Also, for details on CAN/LIN data logger use cases, see our CAN/LIN logger article:
