Automotive networking traces its beginnings to simple protocols based on basic, commonly available components such as the Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART). The long sought after goal of taking the benefits of networking into simple sensors and actuators has been economically unsound due to product volumes being spread out to support many proprietary protocols. The LIN specification might break down this economic barrier as it gains momentum as a global standard for networked sensor and actuator systems for the automotive industry. The LIN specification was developed for use with standardized, widely available hardware, but ironically, this ability to implement LIN with any off-the-shelf hardware components has led semiconductor companies to develop customized LIN products and products with LIN-specific features in order to offer new solutions and separate themselves from their competition. LIN has grown and developed over the last five years and is capturing serious worldwide attention as a viable standard for low-cost automotive networking solutions. Vehicles have been rolling off of assembly lines since 2001 with some LIN 1.2 and 1.3 systems on board. LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602 compliant systems are not far behind. The LIN specification is changing and LIN Revision 2.0 is providing solutions and new challenges to automakers and suppliers alike. New hardware and software products being developed are changing the way vendors look at the LIN standard. Some of these solutions have the potential to help the LIN Consortium and automakers around the globe finally deliver on that promise of having that global standard. This trend will continue, particularly as the momentum of the LIN standard provides greater potential for increased manufacturing volume and sales growth. This increase in volumes must offset the costs of development and manufacture of customized LIN products to keep prices low and ensure that LIN remains a low-cost networking solution.
