MLX81108KDC-CAE-000-RE

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The MLX81108KDC-CAE-000-RE is a LIN RGB slave controller from Melexis, designed for automotive ambient lighting applications. It integrates a 16-bit RISC MCU with 32KB flash, RAM, and EEPROM, alongside four constant current LED drivers capable of sourcing up to 48mA per channel. The device supports RGB+1 LED configurations via a LIN interface compliant with LIN 2.x and SAE J2602 standards. Packaged in an SOIC-8FLF (SOIC-8) format, it operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and meets AEC-Q100 qualification requirements.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Integrates a 16-bit RISC microcontroller with 32KB user flash, RAM, and EEPROM supporting ECC.
• Features four independent constant current outputs, each capable of driving up to 48mA for RGB+1 LED control.
• Includes a built-in LIN transceiver and protocol controller compliant with LIN 2.x and SAE J2602 standards.
• Provides on-chip voltage regulators, internal RC oscillators, and support for MUL/DIV operations via a coprocessor.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Applications

• Automotive ambient lighting systems
• Interior vehicle illumination modules
• LIN-based RGB LED color mixing applications

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CAE-000-RE against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm pinout and software configuration compatibility. Confirm that the SOIC-8FLF package variant matches the thermal and mechanical constraints of the target PCB design. Ensure the order quantity aligns with the reel packaging specifications provided by the distributor.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-chip solution is required for driving up to four LEDs with precise current control in a LIN network. The integrated MCU allows for complex lighting effects without external processors. Consider the SOIC-8 package size if board space is limited compared to larger QFN options in the MLX811xx family.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the MLX81108 series of LIN RGB controllers. It serves as a specialized node for managing multi-color LED arrays in vehicles. Unlike general-purpose I/O controllers, it focuses on high-current LED driving capabilities combined with automotive-grade communication protocols.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the MLX81109KLW-CAE-100-RE, which offers similar functionality but in a QFN-20 package. Check pin compatibility and firmware portability before substituting with other MLX811xx variants.
