MCP2004T-E/MD

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MCP2004T-E/MD is a LIN bus transceiver designed for automotive and industrial applications, compliant with LIN specifications 1.3, 2.0, and 2.1, as well as SAE J2602. It supports baud rates up to 20 Kbaud and operates within a wide supply voltage range of 6.0V to 27.0V. The device features 43V load dump protection and high ESD immunity, rated at 20kV on VBB and 14kV on LBUS per IEC 61000-4-2. It includes an FAULT/TXE pin for transmitter enable and fault reporting, automatic thermal shutdown, and low-power modes with quiescent currents as low as 5µA in receiver monitoring mode.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Compliant with LIN Bus Specifications 1.3, 2.0, and 2.1, and SAE J2602 standard
• Integrated FAULT/TXE pin for transmitter control and fault status indication
• High electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity and robust electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection
• Automatic thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection mechanisms

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Automotive electronic systems requiring LIN bus communication
• Industrial serial bus networks operating at speeds up to 20 Kbaud
• Microcontroller interfaces connecting to physical LIN bus layers

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package marking and date code against the manufacturer's latest documentation before integration. Confirm that the component meets all environmental and electrical requirements for the target application environment. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to the sensitivity of the semiconductor device to static discharge during installation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated LIN transceiver with fault reporting capabilities is required. The MCP2004 variant is distinct from the MCP2003 series by its inclusion of the FAULT/TXE pin rather than a WAKE pin. Ensure the design accommodates the 6.0V to 27.0V supply voltage range and utilizes appropriate external protection components for transient voltage events as recommended in the datasheet.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MCP2003/4/3A/4A family of LIN bus transceivers manufactured by Microchip Technology. The 'T' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging, while 'E' denotes extended temperature rating. The 'MD' suffix specifies the 8-lead DFN package type. This family provides physical layer interfaces for bidirectional half-duplex communication between microcontrollers and LIN buses.
