Overview
This NXP® reference design describes a High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp leveling system with a LIN-bus interface.
- Stepper motor controller operating as a LIN-bus slave (LIN Stepper Controller).
- All functionality is provided by a general purpose LIN-bus IC MM908E625 and LIN Stepper software (HC08 software).
- The LIN Master consists of a master control board, based on an MC9S12DP256 CPU, and a personal computer with a graphical user interface (GUI), running in a master software environment.
- The LIN-bus Stepper Controller can be used for any kind of stepper motor control using the LIN-bus serial communication protocol.
