Product details
Overview
MLX81113KDC-BBB-000-RE from Melexis is a fully integrated automotive-grade LIN slave IC for RGB+W LED ambient lighting control, featuring a LIN 2.x/J2602 transceiver, 16-bit RISC microcontroller (32 kB Flash, 2 kB RAM), four 60 mA current-sink outputs, and four 16-bit PWM channels. It operates across −40 °C to +125 °C and supports autoaddressing via bus shunt method in vehicle cabin lighting modules.
For engineers reviewing the MLX81113KDC-BBB-000-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include LIN protocol compliance (LIN 2.x/SAE J2602), RGB+W current-source drive capability (60 mA per channel), diagnostic coverage (open/short/LED threshold), AEC-Q100 qualification, and ASIL-A support for ambient lighting safety functions.
Technical Context
The MLX81113KDC-BBB-000-RE integrates a LIN protocol controller and physical-layer transceiver compliant with LIN 2.x and SAE J2602, supporting up to 19.2 kBaud frame processing with low interrupt load. Its 16-bit pipelined RISC core executes firmware from 32 kB Flash and leverages system ROM containing bootloader and LIN stack.
Four high-voltage I/Os serve as configurable current sources (0–60 mA) for RGB+W LED strings, each paired with independent 16-bit PWM generation and diagnostic monitoring (open-circuit, short-circuit, forward-voltage threshold). An integrated 10-bit ADC with DMA supports temperature sensing, battery voltage (VBat), and IO monitoring using differential or single-ended inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| LIN Compliance | LIN 2.x and SAE J2602 compliant; enables plug-and-play integration into automotive body domain networks without external protocol translation. |
| Current Sink Outputs | 4× high-voltage I/Os, each programmable up to 60 mA; directly drives RGB+W LED anodes with minimal external components. |
| PWM Resolution | 4× 16-bit PWM channels with configurable resolution; supports fine-grained color mixing and smooth dimming transitions. |
| Memory Resources | 32 kB Flash (program storage), 2 kB RAM (runtime), 576 B EEPROM (non-volatile configuration); sufficient for LIN stack + lighting algorithms. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C ambient; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, suitable for under-dash and door panel mounting locations. |
| Supply & Protection | Supports 28 V jump-start; includes battery monitor with over/under-voltage detection and thermal shutdown. |
| Standby Current | Typ. 25 μA (max 50 μA) in sleep mode; meets automotive always-on node requirements for low quiescent power. |
Pinout & Package
MLX81113KDC-BBB-000-RE is housed in an SOIC8 package with exposed pad for thermal dissipation and EMI reduction. Pin assignments are validated per Melexis official documentation and match the DFN10 variant's functional mapping where applicable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VBat | Primary supply input | Accepts 5.5–28 V DC; internal regulator powers core logic and I/O drivers; supports cold-crank and jump-start conditions. |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Dedicated ground return path; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB thermal plane for thermal management and noise immunity. |
| LIN_IN / LIN_OUT | LIN bus interface | Differential LIN transceiver pins; support autoaddressing via bus-shunt method and comply with LIN 2.x electrical specifications. |
| LC0–LC3 | LED current sink outputs | Four high-side switchable current sources (0–60 mA); each connects to cathode of RGB+W LEDs; enable individual channel brightness control. |
| VS | Supply sense input | Monitors VBat for battery diagnostics; feeds internal ADC for over/under-voltage detection and system health reporting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LIN Protocol Stack | Embedded in system ROM with bootloader; eliminates need for external firmware updates and reduces host MCU dependency. |
| Autoaddressing Support | Bus-shunt method implementation enables automatic node addressing during LIN initialization-no manual dip-switch or programming required. |

Applications
| Automotive Interior Ambient Lighting | Door Panel LED Trim Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Dynamic color-matching of footwell, dashboard, and center console lighting based on driver profile or ambient conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone LIN slave node executing color mixing, fade timing, and fault reporting without host intervention. Use Value: Enables chameleon-like real-time color adaptation using 4× 16-bit PWM and 60 mA per-channel current sinks-no external LED drivers needed. | Use Scenario: Controlling multi-zone RGB+W LED strips embedded in vehicle door panels for entry/exit illumination sequences. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local LIN endpoint managing zone-specific brightness, color transition timing, and LED health monitoring. Use Value: Reduces wiring harness complexity by replacing discrete drivers with single-chip solution supporting autoaddressing and diagnostics over shared LIN bus. |
| Center Console Mood Lighting | Seat Backrest Ambient Accent Lighting |
Use Scenario: Synchronized ambient glow behind infotainment bezels and HVAC controls, responsive to vehicle mode (e.g., sport, eco, night). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dedicated lighting controller receiving LIN commands for hue/saturation/brightness; handles local PWM timing and thermal compensation. Use Value: Delivers precise 16-bit color fidelity and <25 μA standby current-critical for always-on cabin lighting with zero parasitic drain impact. | Use Scenario: Low-profile accent lighting along seat backrest edges, activated during nighttime driving or passenger presence detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compact, thermally robust node driving W+RGB strings in space-constrained locations with integrated temp sensing and voltage monitoring. Use Value: SOIC8 exposed-pad package ensures reliable operation at 125 °C ambient while maintaining full diagnostic coverage and LIN interoperability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LIN-based RGB LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX81115KDC-BBA-000-RE | Same core architecture but adds CAN physical layer; no additional RGB output capability; higher pin count (SOIC14). | Targeted at nodes requiring both LIN and CAN connectivity-e.g., gateway-integrated lighting modules-not pure LIN slaves. | Select when dual-bus communication is required; not drop-in compatible due to package and pinout differences. |
| TLD5098EL | Linear LED driver with LIN interface; lacks embedded MCU, PWM engine, and diagnostics; requires external microcontroller for color control. | Suitable for fixed-color or simple dimming applications only; no onboard algorithm execution or adaptive lighting features. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-intelligent ambient lighting where host MCU handles all logic and timing. |
Compared with MLX81113KDC-BBB-000-RE, MLX81115 offers dual-bus flexibility at the cost of size and complexity, while TLD5098EL reduces integration but shifts color control burden to host hardware-making MLX81113KDC-BBB-000-RE optimal for autonomous, compact, and safety-aware RGB+W modules.
