DESCRIPTION
The IC is designed to control bidirectional serial data transmission on bus lines. It supports both LIN- and K-Bus which are selected by the MODE pin. This feature allows an easy migration from K- to LIN-bus without changing the transceiver. The high voltage range and the low standby current as well as the wide temperature range make the IC interesting for a wide field of applications.

Supply voltage range VS 6V to 18V
Logic supply voltage range VDD 4.5V to 5.5V
Data rate up to 20kBaud for LIN-mode
Data rate up to 9.600Baud for K-mode
Change between LIN-mode and K-mode with external pin
Internal monitoring features
Output driver with slewrate control (EMI)
