Chip for LED ambient lighting in vehicles

NXP Semiconductors has introduced the UgA1018—a compact integrated solution WhDW VXSSRUWV FRVW-HIfiFLHQW DQG flHxLEOH LED ambient lighting applications in vehicles. The UgA1018 is designed for local interconnect networks (LINs) and is FODLPHG WR EH WhH fiUVW DSSOLFDWLRQ-VSHFLIic standard product (ASSP) for ambient lighting with node position detection. This enables LIN addresses of LED modules to be individually programmed after being installed in the car, rather than during module manufacturing.

The UgA1018 integrates all analogue functions to create a compact ambient lighting solution, including LIN transceiver, LIN switch for node position detection, voltage regulator for microcontroller and drivers for 3-colour LED.
