Product details
Overview
MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP from Melexis is a fully integrated automotive-grade LIN slave IC for RGB+W LED ambient lighting control, featuring a 16-bit RISC microcontroller, LIN 2.x/J2602 transceiver and protocol controller, four 60 mA current-controlled outputs, four 16-bit PWM channels, and 10-bit ADC with DMA - deployed in interior dome lights, door handle illumination, and center console accent lighting.
For engineers reviewing the MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include LIN bus compliance (SAE J2602), autoaddressing support via bus shunt method, diagnostic capability for LED open/short/threshold faults, sleep-mode current (25 µA typ), and AEC-Q100 qualification for -40 °C to +125 °C operation.
Technical Context
The MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP integrates a LIN physical layer transceiver and protocol controller 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 includes 32 kB Flash, 2 kB RAM, 576 B EEPROM, and a math co-processor for 32-bit MUL/DIV operations.
Four high-voltage I/Os serve as configurable current sources (up to 60 mA each) for RGB+W LED driving, each paired with independent 16-bit PWM generation. Integrated diagnostics monitor LED health (open, short, threshold), while the 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 transceiver + protocol controller; enables plug-and-play integration into automotive body networks without external LIN interface IC. |
| LED Drive Outputs | 4× high-voltage current sources, each programmable up to 60 mA; supports direct RGB+W LED string drive without external MOSFETs or current-setting resistors. |
| PWM Resolution | 4× 16-bit PWM outputs with configurable resolution; enables precise color mixing and smooth dimming transitions across full brightness range. |
| Diagnostic Coverage | Real-time LED fault detection (open, short, threshold violation); reduces need for external monitoring circuitry and simplifies ASIL-A–compliant system design. |
| Power Efficiency | 25 µA typical standby current in sleep mode; meets stringent automotive low-power requirements during vehicle off-state to prevent battery drain. |
| Temperature Range | -40 °C to +125 °C ambient operating range; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0, suitable for under-dash, door module, and center console mounting locations. |
| Supply Robustness | Withstands 28 V jump-start pulses; integrated battery monitor provides over- and under-voltage detection for VBat supervision without external supervisor IC. |
Pinout & Package
MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP is housed in an SOIC8 package with exposed pad for thermal dissipation and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VBat | Primary supply input | Accepts 5.5–28 V DC; internal regulator powers core logic and analog blocks; withstands 28 V jump-start transients. |
| GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground common point; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB thermal pad for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| LIN_IN | LIN bus receiver input | Differential input for LIN bus signal; internal termination and filtering enable robust reception in noisy automotive environments. |
| LIN_OUT | LIN bus driver output | Push-pull LIN driver output; supports autoaddressing via bus shunt method per LIN specification. |
| LC0–LC3 | LED current source outputs | Four high-side current sinks (60 mA max each); directly drive RGB+W LED cathodes; support PWM dimming and open/short diagnostics. |
| VS | Supply sense input | Monitors VBat for battery voltage supervision; feeds integrated over/under-voltage detection logic and ADC channel. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated LIN Transceiver + Controller | Eliminates need for external LIN PHY or protocol stack implementation; reduces BOM count and software development effort for basic slave node functionality. |

Use Value: Maintains consistent visual hierarchy without host MCU intervention; diagnostic alerts flag LED degradation before visible failure. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX81115KLW-BAA-000-SP | Same core architecture but with enhanced LIN diagnostics (including bus error logging) and extended EEPROM (1 kB); no change in pinout or drive capability. | Targeted at higher-tier modules requiring deeper LIN bus visibility and longer configuration history retention. | Select MLX81115 when diagnostic traceability and firmware update resilience are required beyond base ambient lighting needs. |
| TJA1021T/3/CM,118 | Standalone LIN transceiver only - no microcontroller, PWM, or LED drivers; requires external MCU and LED driver ICs. | Suitable for custom designs where flexibility in LED topology or control algorithm outweighs integration benefits. | Choose TJA1021T only if existing MCU infrastructure exists and discrete LED driver selection is preferred for thermal or layout reasons. |
Compared with MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP, MLX81115 offers expanded diagnostics and EEPROM capacity for advanced commissioning, while TJA1021T demands full external control stack but allows topology customization - making MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP optimal for cost-sensitive, rapid-deployment ambient lighting nodes.

The MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP uses internal DACs and feedback loops to maintain precise current accuracy across temperature and supply variations.
What is the function of the VS pin on MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP?
The VS pin on MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP serves as the supply voltage sense input for the integrated battery monitor. It connects directly to VBat and enables over-voltage (e.g., 28 V jump-start) and under-voltage detection. This signal also feeds the 10-bit ADC for real-time battery health monitoring. The MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP uses VS-derived data to trigger safe shutdown or warning flags before critical supply faults occur.
Is MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP qualified for automotive use?
Yes, MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (-40 °C to +125 °C) and developed following ISO 26262 principles for ASIL-A systems.

Can MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP drive white LEDs in addition to RGB?
Yes, MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP supports RGB+W configurations via its four independent current sources (LC0–LC3), each configurable up to 60 mA. The fourth channel (e.g., LC3) is commonly assigned to a warm or cool white LED to expand color gamut and improve CRI. The MLX81113KLW-BBB-000-SP's 16-bit PWM resolution enables precise intensity balancing between RGB and W channels for accurate white point tuning.
