for color mixing applications, PWM, RGB, programmable, dimmable
Description
Overview
The ams AS1163 is a stand‑alone mixed‑signal LED driver IC optimized for automotive dynamic lighting (interior, exterior, smart‑surface effects).
Key features
Drives 9 LEDs organized as 3 RGB triplets or 9 independent single‑color channels.
Independent PWM dimming per channel with up to 16‑bit dynamic range.
Stand‑Alone Intelligent Driver (SAID) functionality for implementing dynamic lighting without a dedicated MCU per device.
Daisy‑chainable architecture for cost‑efficient multi‑device dynamic lighting chains.
Supports single‑layer slim PCB designs to simplify assembly and reduce BOM cost.
Communication: OSP (Open System Protocol), fully compatible with ams OSRAM OSIRE E3731i.
Additional features: I²C gateway, parallel connection, power‑rail feedback and analog readout.
Each AS1163 in the chain can act as an I²C gateway allowing the system MCU to read/write external I²C devices (EEPROM, temperature sensors, ambient light sensors).
