  • LIN communication circuit and a method of communicating between LIN busses
    Patent number: 11620249
    Abstract: In aspects, a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) communication circuit including a first LIN master associated with a first LIN bus and a second LIN master associated with a second LIN bus is disclosed. A data link is connected between the first and second LIN masters. A first mirroring client is established at the first LIN master for receiving message bits corresponding to a LIN message in a first slot on the first LIN bus and for transmitting the message bits bitwise over the data link. A second mirroring client is established at the second LIN master for receiving the message bits and transmitting them over the second LIN bus. The first and second LIN masters include synchronised schedule tables such that the message bits on the second LIN bus are transmitted in a corresponding slot to the first.
