Melexis has released the MLX80124, a configurable LIN LED driver designed for automotive ambient lighting applications. The device supports dynamic RGB lighting systems without requiring embedded code development.The MLX80124 allows engineers to configure lighting behavior using a graphical user interface (GUI) instead of writing code. This approach helps streamline the setup of RGB ambient lighting functions and supports faster integration into vehicle systems.
Each high-voltage output driver in the MLX80124 includes adjustable current sources up to 60 mA, enabling flexible RGB configurations. Developed using BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) technology, the component is housed in a compact SOIC-8 package and is pin-compatible with other Melexis devices, such as the MLX81124 and MLX81123.
The device incorporates diagnostic features including open and short detection, as well as supply monitoring. It supports temperature-compensated RGB color mixing that can be adjusted for different LED types using their optical data.
Operating across a temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C, the MLX80124 meets AEC-Q100 qualification and complies with ISO 26262 up to ASIL B. The driver is intended for automotive-grade applications requiring configurable lighting control without the need for software programming.
The MLX80124 is currently available.
