Abstract
One aspect of the invention relates to a network node for connecting to a Local Interconnect Network (LIN). In accordance with one example of the present invention, the network node includes a bus terminal which is operably coupled to a data line for receiving a data signal, which represents serial data, via that data line. The data signal is a binary signal having high and low signal levels. The network node further includes a receiver circuit which employs a comparator to compare the data signal with a reference signal. The comparator generates a binary output signal representing the result of the comparison. The network node also includes a measurement circuit that receives the data signal and provides a first voltage signal such that it represents the high signal level of the data signal.
