APGRD004: LIN Interface RGB, Automotive Interior

Summary

The Ambient Lighting Module Reference Design offers a compact solution to control a RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LED over a LIN network. A RGB LED module can be used for illumination, backlighting or indication in a vehicle.

This reference design uses a low end 8-bit microcontroller to implement the following features:

  • Multi-color mixing to achieve 7 to 16,383 colors

  • Color intensity of 1,023 levels

  • Constant voltage/current drive

  • LIN 2.0 and J2602 bus slave compatibility

The kit contains 4 modules, which can also be used in conjunction with the APGDT001 LIN Serial Analyzer to quickly create a working LIN network straight out of the box.
