Slave LIN Interface Communication Module/ MC908QLXX Series

Freescale Semiconductor

By Design News Staff -- Design News, March 19, 2006

Freescale's Slave LIN Interface Communication (SLIC) Module eliminates the need for expensive non-volatile memory on automotive microcontrollers used in so-called "LIN" networks (Local Interconnect Networks used for window lifts, seat motors and lighting in vehicles). Unlike current solutions, which require MCU oscillators to enable a standard UART, the SLIC approach synchronizes both frame and bit rate at the same time. Even with oscillator frequency varied by as much as 50 percent, designers can create nodes that never require oscillator trimming. Therefore, manufacturing time is saved, since there is no need for suppliers to execute a trimming operation. Furthermore, inexpensive Read-Only Memory (ROM) based MCUs can be used, thus cutting costs. http://rbi.ims.ca/4917-578

Light Matters: The Unsung Heroes of Modern Health Care
First, let's define "no-compromise." In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible.
