Collapse all subcategories Expand all subcategoriesThe lighting system of a vehicle consists of lighting and signaling devices mounted in the front, rear, sides, interior, and on top of the vehicle. Exterior lighting, which consists of LED front and rear lighting, is not only one of the key differentiating factors for car-makers as a brand recognition but as well an important part of safety, comfort, reliability, energy efficiency, and emotional identification. Infineon offers specialized solutions for LED control, supply and communication, ensuring optimized performance and contributing to the overall safety and reliability of vehicles.
LED front lighting systems are important for safety, comfort and reliability
LED front lighting plays a vital role in enhancing comfort, safety and reliability in automotive design. As a crucial differentiating factor for car manufacturers, this system offers benefits such as improved energy efficiency and an enhanced user experience through emotional identification.
Infineon offers specialized solutions for front light LED control, supply, and communication, ensuring optimized performance and contributing to the overall comfort, safety and reliability of vehicles.
Highly scalable LED rear lighting solutions
In today's road traffic, rear lighting systems play a critical role in ensuring greater safety. Integrated into the trunk or car fender, these systems now offer dynamic and animation functions, elevating the driving experience. However, this innovation brings complexity in supply, communication, sense, control, and actuation, demanding advanced solutions.
Infineon addresses this challenge by providing integrated, scalable products that effectively manage complexity while optimizing space on the PCB and power dissipation. Our solutions not only meet these technical demands but also pave the way for future design advancements.
