What is the difference between CAN and LIN?

CAN is the main protocol that is in use today. All newer model cars are mandated by law to use this protocol for connecting engine control units (ECUs). LIN is a protocol that is used for interconnecting other components within a car; it’s main advantage is that is is cheaper to implement than CAN.

What is LIN in embedded system?

LIN (Local Interconnect Network) was developed as cost-effective alternate to CAN protocol.

What is the difference between CAN and FlexRay?

The improved CAN FD standard allows increasing the bit rate after arbitration and can increase the speed of the data section by a factor of up to eight of the arbitration bit rate. FlexRay is an automotive network communications protocol developed through the FlexRay Consortium to govern on-board automotive computing.

Can FD VS CAN?

The primary difference between the classical CAN (Controller Area Network) and CAN FD is the Flexible Data (FD). The message payload size has been increased to 64 bytes of data in each CAN-frame / message, compared to only 8-bytes in the classic CAN frame. CAN FD can handle CAN frames/messages with 11-bit ID as well.

What is LIN used for?

LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication between components in vehicles.

CAN and can fd Frame format?

Both CAN protocols (Classical as well as CAN FD) are internationally standardized in ISO 11898-1:2015. CAN FD data frames with 11-bit identifiers use the FBFF (FD base frame format) and those with 29-bit identifiers use the FEFF (FD extended frame format).

How does CAN and LIN work?

LIN and CAN don’t compete with each other, but instead complement one another. On the one hand, CAN serves high-speed, error-sensitive needs and operates on a 5-V differential bus. LIN, however, serves low-speed, low-bandwidth requirements on a 12-V single-wire bus.
