, the MCP2003BT-E/MC, is a single-chip LIN physical transceiver designed for automotive applications. It's ideal for centralized power distribution monitoring, body control, and damp-control systems.The MCP2003BT-E/MC is designed to handle up to 15 kbps communication speeds and has an integrated voltage regulator, high voltage tolerant inputs/outputs and analog buffer outputs. It offers several protection features, such as power-on reset, thermal shutdown and electrical short detection protection. It is also compliant with the LIN 2.x specification, making it compatible with most existing systems. The transceiver also features low power operations with Sleep Mode, low standby current and low data rate selectable pins.In addition, it provides an integrated voltage regulator, allowing the device to operate over extended voltage ranges from 8 to 40 Volts, making it perfect for automotive applications. The transceiver also features an Enhanced watt SurgeGalvanic Protection. This feature offers device protection against transient surges from 12V buses or alternators in Electrical Power Steering, Power Window Lift or High Intensity Discharge Lamp systems.
