Abstract

The present invention relates to an integrated circuit device for controlling LIN slave nodes based on a control signal transmitted by a LIN master control device. The IC device comprises a slave node circuit for processing the control signal when received in the form of a LIN message frame via a first data line terminal. The IC device also comprises a master node circuit for processing further control signals to be transmitted in the form of LIN message frames via a second data line terminal to the LIN slave nodes. The IC device also comprises a processing unit for controlling the LIN slave nodes based on the control signal by composing the further control signals.
