LIN bus transceiver and method therefore

Abstract

A method for a listening network node is described herein. In accordance with one embodiment, the method includes receiving data from a serial bus interface, wherein the data includes (at least) a first header of a first data frame. The method further includes detecting completion of the reception of the first header and detecting whether the data received subsequent to the first header includes a recessive bit and storing information that indicates whether or not a recessive bit has been detected. Furthermore, the method includes detecting a stop bit in the data received subsequent to the first header and, when the detection of the stop bit fails, detecting a break delimiter that indicates the end of a break field of a second header, signaling a frame error if the stored information indicates that a recessive bit has been received, and signaling a missing response if the stored information indicates that a recessive bit has not been received.
