LITIX™ LED drivers deliver flexible and powerful automotive LED driver IC solutions that enable vehicles to benefit from the advantages of LEDs. They provide full protection for lighting systems in automotive applications, e.g. for LED Front Lighting or LED Rear Lighting.
Automotive LED light controllers deliver a constant current regulation for stable brightness over the whole automotive temperature and voltage range. With Infineon LITIX™ LED drivers, you can integrate tailor-made LED driver ICs that protect themselves and the LEDs against overstress caused by, for example, voltage spikes or overtemperature.
Additionally, most devices of the LITIX™ family provide diagnostic features, e.g. of open and shorted LEDs. They offer automotive LED driver systems required to operate vehicle lighting systems across harsh automotive conditions.
The LITIX™ Power and Power Flex families ensure simple integration into a broad range of systems. Designers can choose among buck, boost, buck-boost or SEPIC LED drivers for all vehicle lighting applications.
LITIX™ Power and Power Flex Automotive Buck LED Driver: Buck or step-down DC-DC LED drivers reduce the voltage if required on LED lighting systems. An automotive buck LED driver is often used in interior and rear lighting systems.
LITIX™ Power Automotive Boost LED Driver: Boost or step-up DC-DC LED drivers increase the output voltage to enable long LED strings in vehicles. In particular, automotive boost LED drivers can supply multiple LEDs connected in series.
LITIX™ Power and Power Flex Automotive Buck-Boost LED Driver: Automotive buck-boost LED drivers supply LEDs with varying input voltage either above or below the LED voltage. This means that seamless switching between buck, pass-through, and boost operating modes deliver a highly efficient, well-regulated output despite the wide variations of the input voltage from, for example, lithium-ion power sources.
LITIX™ Power Automotive SEPIC LED Driver: Single-Ended-Primary-Inductance-Converter (SEPIC) LED drivers maintain constant LED current when the LED string voltage is between the load dump and the cold crank voltages. It is one of the possible buck-boost implementations that allows flexible input voltages with a stable output voltage.
The LITIX™ Linear, Basic, and Basic+ families are automotive linear current source devices that secure stable LED current for constant brightness and high reliability light systems. The broad portfolio offers design flexibility to cover all application requirements. They can be found in automotive exterior and interior lights as well as in two-wheeler and in industrial LED lighting applications.
LITIX™ Linear: Single-channel automotive linear current source devices deliver stable current for power applications from 2 mA to 2500 mA. LITIX™ Linear devices offer protection against short circuit, overload and over temperature.
LITIX™ Basic: One or three output channel automotive linear current source devices with scalable feature set that enables high design flexibility depending on the diagnosis requirements. They offer pin-to-pin compatibility.
LITIX™ Basic+: One to three output channel automotive linear current source devices offer state-of-the-art current accuracy. Outstanding integrated PWM engine and Single LED Short diagnosis are key differentiators for reliable applications.
LITIX™ Pixel Rear multi-channel (up to 16) linear LED driver with UART over CAN interface.
