NCV7425EVB

NCV7425 LIN Transceiver
with Voltage Regulator and
Reset Pin Evaluation Board 
User's Manual

Introduction

This document describes the NCV7425EVB board for the

ON Semiconductor NCV7425 LIN Transceiver with
Voltage Regulator and Reset pin. The functionality and
major parameters can be evaluated with the NCV7425EVB
board.

The NCV7425 is a fully featured local interconnect

network (LIN) transceiver designed to interface between a
LIN protocol controller and the physical bus.

The NCV7425 LIN device is a member of the in-vehicle

networking (IVN) transceiver family of ON Semiconductor
that integrates a LIN v2.1 physical transceiver and a
low-drop voltage regulator. It is designed to work in harsh
automotive environment and is submitted to the TS16949
qualification flow.

Evaluation Board Features

One-row Pin Header Connecting to all Circuit Signals
Enables Easy Insertion of the Evaluation Board into a
more Complex Application Setup. The Header can be
Alternatively Assembled either Perpendicular or
Parallel with the Board Plane

Oscilloscope Test-points on All Circuit Signals

Reverse Protection and Decoupling on the Main
(Battery) Supply

Decoupling on VCC Regulator Output

Additional Pull-up Resistor on the RSTN Open-drain
Output

Filtering Circuit on the Switch-monitoring WAKE
Input

On-board Local Wakeup Switch

LIN-bus Termination and Optional ESD Protection

Good Thermal Connection of the Circuit’s Exposed Pad
to the Bottom Ground Plane
