LIN slave for relay and DC motor control (gen3) - MLX81160
Product description
The MLX81160 is a LIN pre-driver IC for relay DC motors applications.
It offers 48 KB memory (16 KB for the included LIN protocol and 32 KB for the application software) in a compact QFN24 package (4 mm x 4 mm).
By leveraging high-voltage silicon-on-isolator (SOI) technology, this LIN-based pre-driver exhibits operational robustness for 12 and 24 V applications.
The MLX81160 incorporates all the essential functional elements for motor driving within a single chip. These include a LIN interface, an embedded microcontroller unit, 6x PWM drivers, 3x high-voltage I/Os and more…
Extra I/Os allow connecting a dedicated 4-wire latch for motor indexing.
On top of enabling performance improvements and reducing costs, and having the smallest dimensions, the MLX81160 also includes faster programmability (with 32 KB Flash completed in <2.5sec) and ASIL B functional safety capabilities. In addition, the dual current sensing feature permits ripple counting and the driving of multiple DC motors.
Typical actuator applications
- DC Window Lift, Sunroof with Relays or PN-MOSFETs
- DC/BLDC pump or fan with PWM-drive and PN-MOSFETs
- Multiple small DC motors with PN-MOSFETs
For engineering development, the MLX universal master (MUM) can be used to program and interface the IC. For production, third-party equipment & SW must be used.
