Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a communication module for a vehicle and a driving device thereof, and more particularly, to a communication module for a vehicle and a method of driving device thereof for miniaturizing parts. More specifically, the present invention relates to a communication module for a vehicle and a driving device thereof capable of bringing about an improvement in functionality while bringing down size and high integration.
An automotive communication module and its driving device are devices for driving a driving unit using an automotive communication protocol. As a general automotive communication protocol, there is a standardized protocol, Control Area Network (CAN) or Local Interconnect Network (LIN).
The CAN protocol is a serial network communication designed for communication between microcontrollers, providing an economical and reliable network for multiple CAN devices to communicate with each other. Controlling multiple automotive drive units (ECCs) from a single CAN interface is widely used, helping to reduce the overall cost and weight of the vehicle, and improve system control speed and stability. This CAN communication is multi-master communication, the length of the wire used is short, and since only two wires are used, the self-diagnosis line is simplified.
Meanwhile, the LIN protocol is a protocol developed based on the CAN protocol and is used for decentralization of the CAN communication end system of the in-vehicle body network. LIN is used to control the ECU, a simple driving device for automobiles such as sensors and actuators on the network, and has the advantage of configuring the network with low development cost. The LIN protocol is generally used with CAN communication and has a limited range of use compared to CAN communication. The LIN protocol enables low-cost communication systems for branched systems in the car, and can reduce costs by using a single line. LIN communication enables signal-based application interactions and can consist of a network containing multiple slaves to a single master. In addition, the LIN communication system has the advantage that can be predicted according to the pre-calculated signal transmission time.
Meanwhile, such a communication method using CAN and LIN communication generally uses an expensive CAN built-in micro control unit (Micro Control Unit, MCU) for interpretation of CAN protocol or LIN protocol signals. A CAN embedded MCU may refer to a device having both a processor and a memory input / output device for processing and outputting CAN protocol signals in a single chip.
However, the software processing of such MCUs requires an expensive solution, and since the physical connections and the remaining parts for performing CAN or LIN communication are separated in hardware, it is possible to realize miniaturization of the entire automotive driving device. There is difficulty. In addition, in the process of producing a driving device for a vehicle for supporting various additional functions used in electric vehicles, etc., which are in the spotlight recently, waste of cost and volume is expected because each component must be separately purchased and assembled.
