LIN physical-layer interface for 12V/24V body electronics
It integrates one driver and one receiver in an 8-SOIC package, with a supply range from 4V to 48V that covers both 12V and 24V vehicle electrical systems.
The 4V to 48V supply range is the headline parameter for this part. It lets the transceiver sit directly on the vehicle battery bus without a pre-regulator, surviving load-dump transients and cold-crank dips down to 4V. No derating or screening needed for a standard automotive build.
