Scope of Document This document covers the requirements for SAE implementations based on LIN 2.0. Requirements stated in this document will provide a minimum standard level of performance to which all compatible ECUs and media shall be designed. This will assure full serial data communication among all connected devices regardless of supplier. The goal of SAE J2602 is to improve the interoperability and interchangeability of LIN devices within a network by resolving those LIN 2.0 requirements that are ambiguous@ conflicting@ or optional. Moreover@ SAE J2602 provides additional requirements that are not present in LIN 2.0 (e.g.@ fault tolerant operation@ network topology@ etc.). This document is to be referenced by the particular vehicle OEM component technical specification that describes any given ECU in which the single wire data link controller and physical layer interface is located. Primarily@ the performance of the physical layer is specified in this document. ECU environmental and other requirements@ when provided in the component technical specification@ shall supercede the requirements of this document. The intended audience includes@ but is not limited to@ ECU suppliers@ LIN controller suppliers@ LIN transceiver suppliers@ component release engineers and vehicle system engineers.
