Abstract
Methods and transceivers are provided for enabling fast-data messages on a local interconnect network (LIN) compatible bus. One illustrative slave transceiver embodiment includes: a comparator and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The comparator detects amplitude modulation of a bias voltage at a first baud rate on a serial bus line to receive a first LIN frame header having a frame identifier for a fast-data frame. The DAC responsively drives a fast-data response message having an expanded payload and/or a higher baud rate on the serial bus line.
