LIN communication behaviours against ESD events

An automotive application can see several perturbations during his life. In this paper we study how the LIN communication under ESD stress behaves and what sort of failures could be observed. We proposed a characterisation method in order to quantify soft failures. These different failures are classified following a criteria defined in the document. A susceptibility level for the LIN communication depending on the ESD stress level and duration are extracted and implemented in simulation as a failure block.
