Description:
The MCP2021/2/1P/2P provides a bidirectional, half-
duplex communication physical interface to automotive
and industrial LIN systems that meets the LIN bus
specification Revision 2.0. The devices incorporate a
voltage regulator with 5V at 50 mA or 3.3V at 50 mA
regulated power-supply outputs.
The regulator is short-circuit protected, and is protected
by an internal thermal shutdown circuit. The device has
been specifically designed to operate in the automotive
operating environment and will survive all specified
transient conditions while meeting all of the stringent
quiescent current requirements.

The MCP2021/2/1P/2P provides a physical interface
between a microcontroller and a LIN half-duplex bus. It
is intended for automotive and industrial applications
with serial bus speeds up to 20 Kbaud.
The MCP2021/2/1P/2P provides a half-duplex,
bidirectional communications interface between a
microcontroller and the serial network bus. This device
will translate the CMOS/TTL logic levels to LIN-level
logic, and vice versa.
The LIN specification 2.0 requires that the
transceiver(s) of all nodes in the system be connected
via the LIN pin, referenced to ground, and with a
maximum external termination resistance load of 510
from LIN bus to battery supply. The 510corresponds
to one Master and sixteen Slave nodes.
The MCP2021/2/1P/2P-500 provides a +5V, 50 mA,
regulated power output. The regulator uses an LDO
design, is short-circuit protected, and will turn the
regulator output off if it falls below 3.5V.

1.2.1
Internal Protection
ESD PROTECTION
For component-level ESD ratings, please refer to the
Section 2.1 “Absolute Maximum Ratings†”.
1.2.2
GROUND LOSS PROTECTION
The LIN Bus specification states that the LIN pin must
transition to the recessive state when ground is
disconnected. Therefore, a loss of ground effectively
forces the LIN line to a hi-impedance level.
1.2.3
THERMAL PROTECTION
The thermal protection circuit monitors the die tem-
perature and is able to shut down the LIN transmitter
and voltage regulator if it detects a thermal overload.
There are three causes for a thermal overload. A
thermal shut down can be triggered by any one, or a
combination of, the following thermal overload
conditions:
• Voltage regulator overload
• LIN bus output overload
• Increase in die temperature due to increase in
environmental temperature
Driving the TXD and checking the RXD pin makes it
possible to determine whether there is a bus contention
(i.e., Rx = low, Tx = high) or a thermal overload condi-
tion (i.e., Rx = high, Tx = low).
The regulator is specifically designed to operate in the
automotive environment and will survive +43V load
dump transients, double-battery jumps, and reverse
battery connections when a reverse blocking diode is
used. The other members of the MCP2021/2/1P/2P-
330 family output +3.3V at 50 mA with a turn-off voltage
of 2.5V. (See
Section 1.6 “Internal Voltage
Regulator”).
MCP2021/2 wakes from Power-Down mode on a
dominant level on LBUS. MCP2021P/2P wakes at a
transition from recessive level to dominant level on
LBUS.

1.1.1
Optional External Protection
REVERSE BATTERY PROTECTION
An external reverse-battery-blocking diode should be
used to provide polarity protection (see
Figure 1-6).
1.1.2
TRANSIENT VOLTAGE
PROTECTION (LOAD DUMP)
An external 43V transient suppressor (TVS) diode,
between V
BB
and ground, with a 50 transient protec-
tion resistor (R
TP
) in series with the battery supply and
the V
BB
pin, protect the device from power transients
(see
Figure 1-6)
and ESD events. While this protection
is optional, it is considered good engineering practice.
The resistor value is chosen according to
Equation 1-1.
