AS8520
Companion IC for LIN sensor/actuator slaves
Description
The AS8520 is an IC dedicated to automotive battery sensor systems and small actuator control units like window lifts or similar automotive or industrial applications. It provides a LIN transceiver, a voltage regulator to operate the electronic unit and its microcontroller from car battery supply, a serial interface to communicate configuration, diagnostic and status data and application specific devices such as relay drivers and precision resistive attenuator with disable.
Key Features
- LIN 2.0/2.1 transceiver, load independent slew control
- LDO for 5V or 3.3V output – selected by factory programming
- Serial interface for confi guration, diagnosis and
- status readout, watch dog trigger and relay driver control
- Normal-, standby or sleep operating modes
- Window watch dog
- Reset generator with factory programmablereset time
- Output voltage monitor with factoryadjustable level
- Resistive attenuator with disable for batteryvoltage measurement
- Unique chip ID for traceability
- QFN 24 package
Applications
- Window lift
- Sunroof
- Seat positioning
- Battery sensor with current sensor in the battery plus rail
