The TLIN1431x-Q1 has the ability to control an external LIN or CAN FD transceiver or a general purpose LIN or CAN FD SBC. The processor controls the mode of the external transceiver by using the FSO pin from the TLIN1431x-Q1 to the external transceiver. This is accomplished using the TLIN1431-Q1 SPI port, controlling the FSO pin as an EN/STB/nSTB/S output pin to the external transceiver. This capability allows the system designer to develop nodes with many different configurations, for example:
- Two LIN transceivers by using a simple eight pin
LIN transceiver (see Figure 8-19)
- Two LIN transceivers with two WAKE and INH
capability by using an enhanced eight pin LIN transceiver (see Figure 8-20)
- Two LIN transceivers with two LDO outputs by
using an eight pin LIN SBC (see Figure 8-21)
- One LIN and one CAN FD transceiver by using a
simple eight pin CAN FD transceiver (see Figure 8-22)
- One LIN and one CAN FD transceiver with two LDO
outputs by using a CAN FD SBC (see Figure 8-23)
