  Local Interconnect Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LIN is a broadcast serial network comprising one master and many (up to 64) slaves.
The microcontroller generates all needed LIN data (protocol...) (partly) by Software and is connected to the LIN network via a LIN transceiver (simply speaking a level shifter with some add-ons).
Due to the fact, that LIN Slave nodes should be as cheap as possible, they may generate their internal clock by a RC-oscillator combination instead of a quartz or a ceramic oscillator.

 Vehicle bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The main driving forces for the development of vehicle network technology have been the advances made in the electronics industry in general and government regulations imposed, especially in the United States, in order to make the automobiles environmentally friendly.
Networks were not new, but their application to the vehicle was.
Although the vehicle network did not place too much emphasis on the data throughput, the demand for more on-board computing is continuing to drive changes to these networks to provide higher-speed communication between modules.

 Storage area network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, a storage area network (SAN) is a network designed to attach computer storage devices such as disk array controllers and tape libraries to servers.
A network whose primary purpose is the transfer of data between computer systems and storage elements.
Storage networks are distinguished from other forms of network storage by the low-level access method that they use.

 IXXAT [Introduction LIN]
LIN (local interconnect network) was specified between 2000 (LIN 1.1) and 2003 (LIN 2.0) by a group of renowned car manufacturers.
A special feature of LIN is the synchronization of the slave devices via the bus, which makes the implementation of low-cost nodes without quartz clocking possible.
The transmission of a LIN telegram begins with a 13-bit long dominant level (sync break) transmitted by the master, which is used to identify the start of the frame.

 Automotive Local Interconnect Network (LIN) Applications   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Local interconnect network (LIN) is a UART-based, single-master, multiple-slave networking architecture originally developed for automotive sensor and actuator networking applications.
It is very important that the LIN network not radiate very much energy, since these busses pass information through long wires that result in antennae that send emissions to the rest of the vehicle.
LIN is designed as a single-wire bus, switching from ground to battery-level voltages.

 Project Overview
A low-swing reconfigurable interconnect scheme using self-timed signaling allows for a transparent and effortless connection and synchronization of core processor and co-processors, each of which may be operating at different voltages and clock frequencies.
In the future, multimedia terminals and network computers will need to be able to support multi-modal communications and display flexibility and adaptivity in the peripheral devices to accommodate for the changing conditions in communication bandwidth and data sources.
This is combined with an "locally synchronous island" approach at the circuit level that allows for the reconfigurable interconnect network to operate in a self-timed mode at low voltage swing.
