Automotive Communication Interfaces
Automotive communication interfaces are the communication links that allow different electronic control units (ECUs) in a vehicle to communicate with each other. They are essential for the safe and efficient operation of the vehicle, as they allow the different ECUs to share information and coordinate their actions. There are a number of different automotive communication interfaces in use today, including: Controller Area Network (CAN): CAN is the most common automotive communication interface. It is a high-speed, serial bus that is used to connect ECUs in a vehicle's body, chassis, and powertrain domains. Local Interconnect Network (LIN): LIN is a low-cost, serial bus that is used to connect ECUs in a vehicle's body domain. It is typically used for applications that do not require high data rates, such as door locks and climate control. FlexRay: FlexRay is a high-speed, serial bus that is used to connect ECUs in a vehicle's powertrain domain. It is typically u...
