Local Interconnect Network (LIN) is a low-speed in-vehicle network bus, and it is widely used in body applications such as windows, doors, HVAC, and lighting. This review explains protocols and message frames of LIN bus in detail. LIN bus basically transmits ID and payloads in data frame. How to interpret ID and payloads is defined in LIN Description file (LDF). Each LIN bus has unique LDF and its corresponding unique configuration. This review also explains syntax and example of LDF in detail.

IVN (in-vehicle network) connects various electronic modules in the vehicles. It requires real-time, low noise, high reliability, and high flexibility. It includes CAN (controller area network), CAN-FD (CAN flexible data rate), FlexRay, LIN (local interconnect network), SENT (single edge nibble transmission), and PSI5 (peripheral sensor interface 5). In this paper, their operation priciples, target applications, and pros and cons are explained.

In this paper, a mathematical model and a simulation method for the response time analysis of Local Interconnect Network(LIN) based network systems are proposed. Network-induced delays in a network based control system can vary widely according to the transmission time of message and the overhead time of transmission. Therefore, in order to design a distributed control system using LIN network, a method to predict and verify the timing behavior of LIN protocol is required at the network design phase. Furthermore, a simulation environment based on a timing model of LIN protocol is beneficial to predict the timing behavior of LIN. The model equation is formulated with six timing parameters deduced from timing properties of LIN specification. Additionally, LIN conformance test equations to verify LIN device driver are derived with timing constraints of the parameters. The proposed model equation and simulation method are validated with a result that is measured at real LIN based network system.

LIN (local interconnect network) is a standard low-speed serial communication protocol, and it was developed as an efficient sub-bus for automotive electronic modules. In this paper, a LIN controller was implemented in Verilog HDL, based on LIN ver. 2.2A. The implemented LIN controller was verified in FPGA, and it can be supplied as an IP to be integrated into SoC system. Its size is about 2,300 gates when synthesized in 0.18um technology.

In this paper, an automotive ECU (electronic control unit) with Kalman filter accelerator is designed and implemented. RISC-V is exploited as a processor core. Accelerator for Kalman filter matrix operation, CAN (controller area network) controller for in-vehicle network, and LIN (local interconnect network) controller are designed and embedded. Kalman filter operation consists of time update process and measurement update process. Current state variable and its error covariance are estimated in time update process. Final values are corrected from input measurement data and Kalman gain in measurement update process. Usually floating-point multiplication is exploited in software implementation, but fixed-point multiplier considering accuracy analysis is exploited in this paper to reduce hardware area. In 28nm silicon fabrication, its operating frequency, area, and gate counts are 100MHz, 0.37mm², and 760k gates, respectively.

LIN(Local Interconnect Network) 통신은 CAN(Controller Area Network) 통신과 더불어 차량용 통신으로 많이 사용되고 있다. LIN 통신은 필요 성능의 수준이 높지 않은 장치 및 시스템이나 비용의 경제적인 측면에서 CAN 통신의 하부버스로 많이 사용되며 LIN 노드에 개수도 점차 늘어나고 있다. 그렇기 때문에 LIN통신으로 시스템 제어 및 모니터링 프로그램을 GUI(Graphic User Interface)로 제작한다면 시스템 상태의 디스플레이 및 모니터링이 수월해진다. 함수와 GUI로 제작되는 LabVIEW는 다른 텍스트 언어기반 개발 프로그램에 비해 설계 시간 단축 및 사후 관리도 쉽다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 LabVIEW로 제작한 IBS 모듈 기능 검사 장비개발을 통해 LIN 통신으로 송수신되는 데이터를 확인하고 모니터링, 그리고 설계가 용이하다는 것을 소개하고자 한다.

Recently, Ethernet-based Diagnostic Over Internet Protocol (DoIP) was applied to automotive systems, and in-vehicle gateways have been introduced to integrate Ethernet with traditional in-vehicle networks, such as the local interconnect network (LIN), controller area network (CAN) and FlexRay. The introduction of in-vehicle gateways and of Ethernet based diagnostic protocols not only decreases the complexity of the networks, but also reduces the update time for ECU software reprogramming while enabling the use of a range of services, including remote diagnostics. In this paper, a diagnostic gateway was implement for an automotive system, and the performance measurements are presented. In addition, a range of applications provided by the diagnostic gateway are proposed.

Recently, LED light has been increasingly adopted for vehicles in both domestic and foreign automotive markets, while a variety of LED lights have been developed to be used particularly for headlamps. In this paper, we propose an H-type resonant snubber circuit topology for high efficiency of vehicle LDM (LED Driver Module) and realized LDM functions for vehicle headlamp by designing high-efficiency convertors. In addition, this study reduced the financial burden by configuring the system to control the whole with micom except for the use of individual dedicated chips to drive LED for high and low beam. In order to verify the validity of the proposed H-type resonant snubber capable of soft switching, simulations were performed using PSIM. As a result, the validity was experimentally verified by creating a prototype. Moreover, in order to actually attach the headlamp, the performance of the proposed convertor was confirmed by designing LDM to the limited size. Communications between the headlamp and higher controller were realized using LIN(Local Interconnect Network).
