The National Instruments USB-8476 module is a 1-port LIN interface for connecting PCs to LIN networks and devices. The NI USB-8476 offers software-selectable, master/slave termination, so you can monitor, log, and test at all points of a LIN network. The USB-8476 includes NI-CAN driver software, which provides a powerful, frame-based API for rapid application development.

All-in-one design
The convenient all-in-one design features an integrated 2m USB cable and built-in transceiver, requiring no extra cables or accessories to get applications running quickly. The USB-8476 controller is USB powered. The LIN physical layer is powered from VBat (required for the LIN bus) and features standard electrical isolation up to 500 VDC (withstand, 2 s max) channel-to-bus.

Hardware Time-Stamping
With hardware time-stamping, you can log messages with microsecond-accurate time stamps for reconstructing network events. The USB-8476 interface uses a 9-pin male D-Sub (DB9) connector to interface to LIN.

Advanced Functionality
The USB-8476 features the Atmel ATA6620 LIN transceiver, providing advanced functionality and protection for LIN networks, including:

•Sleep and silent modes
•Transient voltage protection (-150 to 100 V)
•High LIN Bus DC voltage (-40 to 60V)
•Thermal protection
