What is LIN?
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial communication protocol used in vehicles. It's a low-cost, single-wire, broadcast serial bus system typically employed for communication between less critical components where the bandwidth and robustness of CAN (Controller Area Network) are not required. Common applications include controlling window lifts, door locks, mirror adjustments, and climate control systems.
What other technologies are related to LIN?
LIN Competitor Technologies
CAN
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a more robust and higher-bandwidth communication protocol that is a direct competitor to LIN, especially in applications requiring higher performance or more nodes.
FlexRay
FlexRay is a high-speed, fault-tolerant communication bus system that competes with LIN in applications requiring high bandwidth and deterministic communication.
Ethernet
Ethernet, especially Automotive Ethernet, competes with LIN in newer automotive architectures requiring very high bandwidth, though it targets different use cases.
Automotive Ethernet
Automotive Ethernet is a competitor to LIN in applications needing significantly higher bandwidth and advanced features.
CAN-FD
CAN-FD (CAN with Flexible Data-Rate) is an enhanced version of CAN offering higher bandwidth and is therefore a competitor to LIN in many applications.
CANFD
CANFD (CAN with Flexible Data-Rate) is an enhanced version of CAN offering higher bandwidth and is therefore a competitor to LIN in many applications.
MOST
MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) is a high-speed multimedia network standard that competes with LIN in automotive infotainment systems and other applications requiring high bandwidth.
Flex Ray
FlexRay is a high-speed, fault-tolerant communication bus system that competes with LIN in applications requiring high bandwidth and deterministic communication.
