Features

All necessary components to put the Atmel

®

 ATA6612/ATA6613/ATA6614 in 

operation are included

Placeholders for some optional components for extended functions included

All pins easily accessible

Easily adaptable watchdog times by replacing a single resistor

Possibility to activate an external NPN-transistor for boosting up the output current 
of the voltage regulator (jumper JP3)

Possibility of selecting between master or slave operation (mounting D2 and R1)

Possibility to mount an external quartz to handle time-critical applications (not 
necessary for LIN communication)

Push button included for creating a local wake-up after having entered the sleep or 
silent mode

Ground coulter clip for connecting probes easily when measuring with the 
oscilloscope
