This article will introduce a new automotive grade MCU from Lumissil with an integrated LIN Phy. In modern vehicles there are potentially dozens of 8-bit MCUs for simple tasks such as basic buttons, simple sensor interfacing and motor control. Although the trend for many applications is to use more powerful processors like 16-bit or 32-bit, there is still a lot of demand for simple 8-bit MCUs since they are smaller and more cost effective.

In an era where hygiene and sanitation are paramount, the evolution and integration of technology into everyday sanitary devices have marked a significant leap in public health and convenience. Among these advancements, capacitive sensing in contactless sanitary devices stands out, offering a blend of innovation, hygiene, and userfriendliness.

When doing circuit board designs, the exact electronic CAD (ECAD) model of every component is required to properly draw a schematic, layout a printed circuit board and visualize the final board dimensions. The availability of design-ready models is critical for accurate design cycles and fewer design iterations
