PLL-based transmitters shrink into MLPs
A new range of low-power radio transmitter chips covering frequencies from 300 to 930MHz are the first devices of their type to be produced in the very tiny micro leadframe package.
The IC is fit for a wide range of automotive and industrial lighting applications such as automotive interior lights, signal and indicator lights, head lights, puddle lights, infra-red cameras, head-up-displays, industrial light panels, design lamps, display lights, emergency/alarm lights etc.
The programmable bias current (peak and average values) eliminates special sorting of LEDs previously necessary to achieve consistent, matched light output.
The switch mode power supply makes the light output independent of supply voltage variations and guarantees the highest energy efficiency.
PWM control allows a dim function without loss of efficiency.
The MLX10801 accepts inputs from 6 to 28V and is protected against load dump up to 40V.
Normal operation is guaranteed between -40 and +105C and an internal (or external) temperature sensor could protect IC and LED against overheating.
