The Elmos System-on-a-Chip (SoC) family E523.06 controls six relays either high-side or low-side driven or five bistable relays (activation in sequential order). The relay holding current can be programmed depending on actual battery voltage by integrated PWM generators. The IC is controlled over a LIN 2.x(1.3), SAE-J2602 compliant communication interface or a PWM-interface with error feedback.
The IC core is a 8-48Mhz, 16 bit RISC CPU, assisted by a set of peripheral digital modules.The IC features a wide range of diagnostic functions. The relay status can be read in digitally or with ADC at the GPIO inputs.
The IC FLASH memory is programmable via JTAG interface or via LIN boot loader function in normal or high speed mode. The LIN boot loader is placed in SysROM area for max. programming security and reducing the code size of the application program.
For fast time-to-market Elmos provides demo-boards as well as design-in support, LIN hardware library routines placed in SysROM (reducing code size), demo code and training on the software development tool-chain. Alternatively, you can use the CANbedded LIN Communication software components from Vector for the Elmos E523.06 family.
