ATA6617 - EK
The development board for the ATA6617 IC is designed to give designers a quick start with the
ATA6617 IC and to enable prototyping and testing new LIN designs.
The ATA6617 is a dual-chip System-in-Package (SIP) product, which is particularly suited for
complete LIN bus slave and master node applications. It supports highly integrated solutions for
in-vehicle LIN networks. The first chip is the LIN-system-basis-chip (LIN SBC) ATA6624, which
has an integrated 5V voltage regulator, a window watchdog, and a fully integrated LIN trans-
ceiver, in compliance with the LIN specification 2.1. The second chip is an automotive
microcontroller from Atmel
tecture (ATtiny167 with 16K flash). All pins of both integrated chips are bonded out to provide
customers the same flexibility for their applications as they have when using discrete parts.
The included AVR provides the following features:
• 16 Kbytes of in-system programmable flash with read-while-write capabilities
• 512 bytes EEPROM
• 512 bytes SRAM
• 16 general purpose I/O lines
• 32 general purpose working registers
• Internal 8 MHz RC Oscillator Calibrated at 5V at 25°C
• 2 flexible timer/counters with compare modes
• Internal and external interrupts
• LIN 2.1 and 1.3 controller or 8-Bit UART
• Byte-oriented 2-wire serial interface
• Master/Slave SPI serial interface
• 4-channel 10-bit ADC
• Four software-selectable power-saving modes:
– Idle Mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, timer/counters, ADC, Analog
– Power-down Mode saves the register contents but freezes the oscillator and disables
– Power-save Mode: the asynchronous timer continues to run allowing the user to
– ADC Noise Reduction Mode stops the CPU and all I/O modules except ADC, which
comparator, and interrupt system to continue functioning.
all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset.
