Abstract
A LIN receiver circuit includes filtering circuitry receiving an input signal and producing a filtered signal, a first comparator comparing the filtered signal to a threshold voltage, and a driver block producing the receiver output signal. The receiver circuit further includes an input comparator, signal-adjusting circuitry, and deglitching circuitry. The input comparator detects a low voltage on the input signal, and the signal-adjusting circuitry drives the filtered signal to a particular value to shorten the length of a glitch at the output of the first comparator. Meanwhile, the deglitching circuitry detects and removes the glitch to produce a deglitcher output signal. The deglitcher output signal is received by the driver block, which outputs the receiver output signal, wherein the receiver output signal contains no glitches, and is delayed by no more than 7.5 μs, thus providing immunity to ISO pulses.
