LDLL16ENTR [STMicroelectronics]

The LDLL16EN is a monolithic 16-channel LED driver designed for automotive exterior and interior LED lighting applications. It guarantees up to 20 V output driving capability, allowing users to connect several LEDs in series, and features 16 regulated current sinkers able to provide from 6.3 mA to 100 mA programmable current to drive LEDs.

The LDLL16EN integrates a robust purely automotive CAN FD light compatible serial communication interface which allows a high rate data transmission (up to 1 Mbit/s) and uses CAN FD structure for long frames.

The device integrates a protocol handler, so no additional external components are needed to facilitate communication with the commander ECU, and a RX/TX interface for communication with external transceiver sharable among several devices (up to 6).

The LDLL16EN can operate in bus mode using CAN FD light compatible interface or in stand-alone/fail-safe mode using internal few time programmable (FTP) memory registers.
