The AS1163 is an advanced intelligent LED driver that is seamlessly compatible with Open Systems Protocol (OSP) networks. Its innovative design enables low or medium-power LEDs to realize the same functionality as direct access to OSP networks without the need for a local microcontroller. This feature greatly simplifies the implementation of over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates and is an important technological breakthrough for modern software-defined vehicle architectures.

Alex Lollio, Head of the Optical Solutions product line at Emmaus OSRAM, commented: “We are very pleased to see that Fulda is utilizing our AS1163 product in its innovative products. Together with Fulda, we hope to provide advanced solutions that will push the boundaries of automotive dynamic lighting technology. The AS1163 marks a significant leap forward in automotive interior lighting technology. At the same time, it serves as a connecting bridge that enables any component with an I2C interface (such as a sensor or actuator) to easily access the OSP network, enabling seamless integration with OSIRE smart LEDs in OSP communication mode. With the advanced features and high flexibility of the AS1163, it has become ideal for modern automotive lighting systems.”

The cooperation with Fulda fully demonstrates the AS1163's excellent performance and high adaptability. Fulda has integrated the AS1163 into its latest models, leveraging its capabilities to create dynamic and customized lighting effects. This integration significantly enhances the driving experience and provides a superior lighting solution for a wide range of applications including roof lighting, ambient lighting， and cabin lighting.

“Our integration of the AS1163 into the interior lighting system provides our customers with an unprecedented lighting experience,” said a senior executive at Folda, ”The dynamic, customizable lighting effects enabled by the AS1163 not only enhance the aesthetics of the vehicle but also its functionality.”

The AS1163 is capable of driving multiple channels of RGB LEDs, making it ideally suited for roof lighting scenarios. Its high-resolution brightness adjustment and dynamic lighting effects enable Forte to provide customers with unique and attractive roof lighting solutions. This not only enhances the aesthetics of the vehicle but also improves visibility. Ambient lighting is critical to creating a comfortable and pleasant interior atmosphere. The AS1163 supports flexible driving of RGB and monochrome LEDs to meet the needs of complex ambient lighting designs. The system can customize light and shadow effects according to the driver's mood and preference, providing a unique and luxurious experience. Its slim 16-pin QFN package with adjustable output current is ideal for lighting long strips of thin LEDs in the cabin, and the AS1163 supports a wide range of lighting configurations, from low-power LEDs for soft illumination to medium-power LEDs for higher lighting needs. This versatility ensures that Fulda products are equipped with state-of-the-art cabin lighting technology that is both practical and stylish.

The successful application of the AS1163 in the Fulda demonstrates Emmaus OSRAM's dedication to innovation and excellence in automotive lighting. As the industry evolves, the AS1163 serves as a core driver of advanced lighting solutions, helping the automotive industry move towards smarter, more efficient， and customizable lighting systems.
