Smart multi-channel RGB-LED controller with 6 drivers - MLX80142
Product description
The MLX80142 drive up to two RGB LED (six channels) with MeLiBu? protocol, ideal for highly dynamic automotive LED light modules. It's suitable for Software Defined Vehicles (SDV), supports PCB-less technologies, and is optimized for space-critical applications. As a responder node in a single commander, multiple responder system, it controls the information transmitted from the Light-ECU. Each responder and connected LED can be individually controlled. This ready-to-use device requires no firmware development.
End-of-Line (EOL) optical calibration data for each LED is stored in the commander ECU. The MeLiBu? protocol facilitates the transfer of current and PWM information, as well as monitor and diagnostic data. Auto-Addressing is supported as well, and configuration data (current settings, PWM values, baud rate, etc.) can be sent during start-up or via dedicated MeLiBu? messages.
The MLX80142 offers 6-channel LED driver with diagnostics, 16-bit PWM per output (up to 1000Hz), and configurable constant current sources up to 60mA. It also includes a 12-bit ADC for high-precision measurements, multiple GPIO features, and supports independent LED supply from 12 V down to 3V.
Designed for automotive applications, it meets automotive Grade 0 qualifications and supports functional safety with its ASIL B compliancy. The device comes in a 16-pin QFN (3 mm x 4 mm) package with fused GND pins, optimized for single-layer substrates.
