NCV7420
LIN Transceiver with 3.3 V
or 5 V Voltage Regulator
General Description
The NCV7420 is a fully featured local interconnect network (LIN)
transceiver designed to interface between a LIN protocol controller
and the physical bus. The transceiver is implemented in I3T
technology enabling both high−voltage analog circuitry and digital
functionality to co−exist on the same chip.
The NCV7420 LIN device is a member of the in−vehicle
networking (IVN) transceiver family of ON Semiconductor that
integrates a LIN v2.0/2.1 physical transceiver and either a 3.3 V or a
5 V voltage regulator. It is designed to work in harsh automotive
environment and is submitted to the TS16949 qualification flow.
The LIN bus is designed to communicate low rate data from control
devices such as door locks, mirrors, car seats, and sunroofs at the
lowest possible cost. The bus is designed to eliminate as much wiring
as possible and is implemented using a single wire in each node. Each
node has a slave MCU−state machine that recognizes and translates
the instructions specific to that function. The main attraction of the
LIN bus is that all the functions are not time critical and usually relate
to passenger comfort.

Application Schematic
The EMC immunity of the Master−mode device can be
further enhanced by adding a capacitor between the LIN
output and ground. The optimum value of this capacitor is
determined by the length and capacitance of the LIN bus, the
number and capacitance of Slave devices, the pull−up
resistance of all devices (Master & Slave), and the required
time constant of the system, respectively.
Vcc voltage must be properly stabilized by external
capacitor: capacitor of min. 8

(ESR < 1

Description
Overall Functional Description
LIN is a serial communication protocol that efficiently
supports the control of mechatronic nodes in distributed
automotive applications. The domain is class−A multiplex
buses with a single master node and a set of slave nodes.
NCV7420 is designed as a master or slave node for the
LIN communication interface with an integrated 3.3 V or
5 V voltage regulator having a current capability up to
50 mA for supplying any external components
(microcontroller).
NCV7420 contains the LIN transmitter, LIN receiver,
voltage regulator, power−on−reset (POR) circuits and
thermal shutdown (TSD). The LIN transmitter is optimized
for the maximum specified transmission speed of 20 kBaud
with EMC performance due to reduced slew rate of the LIN
output.
The junction temperature is monitored via a thermal
shutdown circuit that switches the LIN transmitter and
voltage regulator off when temperature exceeds the TSD
trigger level.
NCV7420 has four operating states (normal mode, low
slope mode, stand−by mode, and sleep mode) that are
determined by the input signals EN, WAKE, STB, and TxD.
Operating States
NCV7420 provides four operating states, two modes for
normal operation with communication, one stand-by
without communication and one low power mode with very
low current consumption. See Figure 3.

5. The normal slope mode is entered when pin EN goes HIGH while TxD is in HIGH state during EN transition.
6. The low slope mode is entered when pin EN goes HIGH while TxD is in LOW state during EN transition. LIN transmitter gets on only after
TxD returns to high after the state transition.
7. The stand−by mode is entered automatically after power−up.
8. In Stand−by mode, RxD High state is achieved by internal pull-up resistor to VCC.
Normal Slope Mode
In normal slope mode the transceiver can transmit and
receive data via LIN bus with speed up to 20 kBaud. The
transmit data stream of the LIN protocol is present on the
TxD pin and converted by the transmitter into a LIN bus
signal with controlled slew rate to minimize EMC emission.
The receiver consists of the comparator that has a threshold
with hysteresis in respect to the supply voltage and an input
filter to remove bus noise. The LIN output is pulled HIGH
via an internal 30 kW pull-up resistor. For master
applications it is needed to put an external 1 kW resistor with
a serial diode between LIN and Vbb (or INH). See Figure 2.
The mode selection is done by EN=HIGH when TxD pin is
HIGH. If STB pin is high during the standby-to-normal
slope mode transition, INH pin is pulled high. Otherwise, it
stays floating.
Low Slope Mode
In low slope mode the slew rate of the signal on the LIN
bus is reduced (rising and falling edges of the LIN bus signal
are longer). This further reduces the EMC emission. As a
consequence the maximum speed on the LIN bus is reduced
up to 10 kBaud. This mode is suited for applications where
the communication speed is not critical. The mode selection
is done by EN=HIGH when TxD pin is LOW. In order not
to transmit immediately a dominant state on the bus (because
