About

High-definition (HD) light engines pave the way for new and improved safety features and enhanced driving comfort. For example, HD light can be used to warn the driver of hazards by highlighting people or objects on the roadside. It can project markings on the road, e.g., to help the driver navigate through a construction site. Moreover, established features such as the glare-free high beam or bending lights run more precisely and smoothly.

Infineon offers dedicated solutions for supply and communication as well as for LED control.

The Traveo? T2G Cluster family offers safety features and a graphic engine to achieve a minimal memory footprint for the graphics processing unit. It contains all necessary interfaces to control all front light parts (Base LEDs, Matrix LED, and others). The scalability of the TRAVEO? T2G as well as of the AURIX??family ensures to find the controller for the pattern generation depending on interfaces and light sources.

LITIX? Power?/ Power Flex: In particular, the dual-channel synchronous buck control IC TLD5501-2QV serves perfectly as a supply for pixel light sources.

OptiMOS? 5/6/7 offers a full-blown portfolio of 60 V, 80 V, and 100 V MOSFETs for wide RDS(on) ranges? in leadless 3x3 S3O8, 5x6 SSO8 packages. The combination with the OptiMOS? T2 5x6 Dual SSO8 portfolio enables to find the right fit device for the DC-DC converter as well as for the reverse polarity protection.

Our OPTIREG? system basis chips (SBC)?offer high integration and high performance with optimized system cost and space by gathering system supply and communication interfaces in one product.

To control video streaming of pixel lights from the central unit, Infineon supports two communication interfaces: the automotive CAN-FD TLE935xBx family (up to 8 Mbit/s) and the BRIGHTLANE? Ethernet physical layer (100 Mbps). They handle data-intensive demands of HD pixel lights applications, enhancing the driving experience with high-resolution ADB, symbol projection, and driver assistance support, such as lane assistant.

CAN-FD TLE935xBx family benefits:

  • Very high and optimized ESD and RF immunity for use without external protection
  • Higher mission profile for longer lifetime and best-in-class robustness
  • Protection of the microcontroller against internal interferences
  • Backward compatibility to existing solutions
  • Low electromagnetic emission within a wide frequency range

BRIGHTLANE? Ethernet PHY benefits:

  • Media-dependent interface termination resistors to simplify board layout and reduce costs
  • Integrated voltage regulator for single 3.3 V supply operation
  • Supports OPEN Alliance TC10, IEEE 802.1AE MACsec, and 802.1AS - precision time protocol
  • Compliant with AEC-Q100 automotive standard
