As automotive LED drivers replace traditional bulbs, the operation of low-power exterior and interior lighting systems have become increasingly advanced. Exterior lighting includes turn signals, side markers, rear combination lamps (RCLs), and fog lamps. Interior lighting includes button backlighting, instrument clusters, and dome and ambient lights. While improved low-power operation of exterior ...

Headlights remain one of the most important functional safety features in any vehicle. While not a new feature, most new car models now feature LED headlights to provide increased brightness, better efficiency, and longer headlight lifespans. And of course, as with any automotive application, headlight designs must meet strict thermal requirements, ISO26262 safety standards, and EMC regulations. ...

Automotive LED lighting systems are comprised of the headlights, interior lights, rear lights, small lights, LED pixel light controllers, and DC/DC LED drivers. With increasingly dynamic and accurate LED lighting features that integrate flexible control, animation, and energy efficiency, key functions including supply, control, sense, actuation, and communication are also becoming more complex. Th...

Automotive displays — which include the center display, heads-up display (HUD), and gauge instrument cluster — show key information and interactive content to the driver. The center information display is connected to the head unit, and provides navigation and other in-cabin infotainment controls. The automotive HUD and gauge instrument cluster provide easy-to-access information for the driver. Th...

APPLICATION

360° surround view cameras help eliminate blind spots for drivers by providing a birds eye view of the car and typically channeling it directly to an LCD display located in the cabins head unit. This image is a composite created from multiple cameras located around the vehicle, usually at least four. Sometimes thought of as the next step in evolution from the backup camera, 360° surround view came...

Telematics and e-call systems help increase vehicle safety by monitoring conditions and, in the event of a crash, assisting the driver with or alerting emergency responders directly to the event. These embedded onboard tools can monitor diagnostics and offer benefits such as vehicle tracking, as well communication for roadside assistance and emergency calls. Of course, new features also bring grea...
