Hierarchical Network Struc
• CAN based network
• CAN + LIN
LIN implementation
SubNets
• Necessary to reduce Busload on main Bus
• Solutions
– CAN
– Automotive Standard Bus
– Compatible with Main Bus
– Expensive (Die Size/ Dual Wire)
– Serial Sub Bus
– no standard Bus System
– not compatible with Main Bus
– inexpensive
– SCI-Based: Interface exists even on cheap devices
– Interface can easily be reconstructed by ASIC or CPLD
Sub-Network: LIN vs. CAN
• LIN
• After recognition of a Low level in the start bit, the data is sampled at a
rate 16 times the bit rate expected. The middle 3 samples must all agree
for an error free reception of the data.
• A stop bit is expected after 1 start bit and 8 data bits in a typical message
