Because this protocol is self-synchronizing, it allows the slave nodes to run from a low-cost RC oscillator. LIN and CAN don't compete with each other, but instead complement one another.

The main features of the LIN and CAN protocols are shown in Table 1. Thus, LIN is a single-wire serial communications protocol based on the common SCI (UART) byte-word interface.
