Melexis | MLX LIN MASTER

The MLX-xxxx is a 4 channel physical layer device for applications of low speed vehicle serial data network communication using the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) protocol. The device is designed in accordance to the physical layer definition of the LIN Protocol Specification Package 2.x and the SAE J2602 standard. The IC furthermore can be used in ISO9141 systems.

Because of the very low current consumption of the MLX80001 in the recessive state it’s suitable for ECU applications with hard standby current requirements. An advanced sleep mode capability allows a shutdown of a complete master node. The included wake-up function detects incoming dominant LIN messages and enables the voltage regulator.

Features and Benefits :

• Compliant to LIN Specification Version 1.3, 2.x and J2602
• 4 channel independent enhanced master transceiver function
• Slew rate selection for 10.4kbps (J2602) and 20kbps (LIN 2.x) for optimized radiated emission behavior
• Disable of slew rate control for fast programming or test modes
• High EMC immunity
• Fully integrated receiver filter
• LIN terminals proof against short-circuits and transients in the automotive environment
• High impedance LIN in case of loss of ground , loss of battery and under voltage condition
• LIN short to ground protection
• Control output for voltage regulator Only 25µA typical power consumption in sleep mode
• Remote wake up via LIN traffic
• Integrated master termination resistors (1kOhm) and decoupling diodes
• Thermal overload protection
• 5V and 3.3V compatible digital inputs
• 20-pin thermally enhanced QFN 5x5 package
• 4kV ESD protection pin LIN

Product Applications :

• Local Interconnect Network (LIN)
