YINGHUA MCP2030A-I/ST 14-pin TSSOP semiconductor

MCP2030A-I/ST LIN transceiver for automotive

The MCP2030A-I/ST is a LIN transceiver IC in a 14-pin TSSOP package designed for automotive and industrial communication buses. It provides the physical-layer interface between a microcontroller LIN controller and the single-wire bus. Engineers integrating LIN sub-networks into body-control modules, door controllers or sensor clusters use this device to meet LIN 2.x electrical requirements. The component is supplied new in standard TSSOP-14 form factor.

Straightforward surface-mount placement

The TSSOP-14 footprint follows common pitch and pad dimensions, so pick-and-place assembly and standard reflow profiles apply without special handling. Layout attention is needed on the LIN bus protection network and the supply decoupling close to the VDD pin to avoid transients. The main integration issues arise from incorrect bus termination or missing reverse-battery protection on the LIN line, which can cause communication errors or device damage.
