I am looking for RS 485 to LIN BUS Converter without changing in the current schematic through external daughter Board. Currently using THVD2410DR (RS485 to TTL) IC. Please help or suggest.

Hi Chandan,
I don't think you can connect the TTL side of an RS485 device to a LIN transceiver's TTL side. The problem is there is a looparound where the transceiver will see it's own output and send it back through the TTL signal.
You probably need to set up a MCU to sit on the external board and act as a bridge to take in the RS485 TTL then have the MCU send through LIN and vice versa. Otherwise I believe the bus will end up getting stuck since the LIN transceiver would see it's own output and drive RX.

Do you need a MCU to be a bridge between UART and LIN? Then MSPM0L1105/6 may be a good option.

LIN comms format is also different from RS485/UART. The following is the LIN frame as reference.
So MCU is needed here to process the message.
