13.8.7 ESCI Baud Rate Register
The ESCI baud rate register (SCBR) together with the ESCI prescaler register selects the baud rate for
both the receiver and the transmitter.
NOTE
There are two prescalers available to adjust the baud rate. One in the ESCI
baud rate register and one in the ESCI prescaler register.
LINT — LIN Transmit Enable

In LIN (version 1.2) systems, the master node transmits a break character which will appear as
11.05–14.95 dominant bits to the slave node. A data character of 0x00 sent from the master might
appear as 7.65–10.35 dominant bit times. This is due to the oscillator tolerance requirement that the
slave node must be within ±15% of the master node's oscillator. Since a slave node cannot know if it
is running faster or slower than the master node (prior to synchronization), the LINR bit allows the slave
node to differentiate between a 0x00 character of 10.35 bits and a break character of 11.05 bits. The
break symbol length must be verified in software in any case, but the LINR bit serves as a filter,
preventing false detections of break characters that are really 0x00 data characters.
