LED rear light - MCU less endpoint

We offer a complete solution for Active LED Rear Lighting, suitable for both traditional design approaches and the new Zonal approach. The latter is based on the proprietary “CAN FD Light” protocol. This high-speed and reliable protocol allows remote control of the endpoint from the MCU located on the Zonal Control Unit board, resulting in cost savings.

Products and solutions

LED/OLED drivers

ST offers linear and switching LED driver ICs specifically designed for automotive interior and exterior LED lighting applications. Equipped with a set of protection and diagnostic functions and designed to minimize external component count, they provide a compact and optimized solution. With on-chip serial peripheral interface (SPI) and other specific functionalities, they represent ideal companions to a microcontroller.

L99LDLH32, tailored for vehicles’ LED and OLED rear lights, is a linear current regulator with 32 constant current sources for precise and accurate lighting control. Its design minimizes ripples, guards against transients, regulates voltage, and prevents short circuits, ensuring rear lighting uniform brightness and reduced flicker for enhanced safety and reliability.

CAN-FD protocol

The CAN-FD protocol (CAN with flexible data-rate) is an extension of the classical CAN (CAN 2.0) protocol. CAN‑FD is the CAN 2.0 successor. It efficiently supports distributed real-time control with a very high level of security. CAN-FD was developed by Bosch and standardized as ISO 11898-1:2015 (suitable for industrial, automotive, and general embedded communications).
