What is it?

The LIN-USB Adapter enables the connection of a computer to a LIN network via USB. The interface can be operated as a master or a slave.

Specification:

• Adapter for the USB connection (FTDI Chip, Full-Speed mode, compatible with USB 1.1, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0)
• LIN physical layer
• Bit rates from 1 kbit/s up to 20 kbit/s
• Can be used as a LIN master or slave
• LIN bus connection
• NXP TJA1028T LIN transceiver
• Galvanic isolation ISO7221. Isolation rating (Vrms) 2500V. This isolation can be bridged and the system is powered from the USB port - in this configuration, do not provide Vbat!
• Adapter supply 5 V DC via USB port
• Transceiver supply (Vbat) 5 - 28 V

Why did you make it?

The project was created because I needed communication between the application on the computer and the device on the LIN bus.

What makes it special?

The adapter enables communication with galvanic isolation as well as the possibility of bridging it and powering the adapter from the USB port.
