Design of serial interface for neuron base smart sensors

The LIN (Local Interconnect Network) interface module for neuron base smart sensors is presented in this paper, which is based on programmable logic devices implementation. A top-down approach has been used during the design stage and VHDL has been applied for the design description. Operation rates are as follows: 2400 b/sec, 9600 b/sec, 19200 b/sec. The verification of this module has been tested by the Xilinx FPGA demo board.
