(ams AG) Announces new product AS3661 Smart Notification Lighting
2012/08/27, Unterpremstaetten, Austria
ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide designer and manufacturer of high-performance analog ICs for consumer & communications, today releases the AS3661, a new smart LED driver which controls up to 9 LEDs to produce sophisticated indicator lighting effects in mobile devices independent of the power-hungry baseband processor.
Applications:
Mobile phone
Tablet Computer
3G and LTE modems
USB dongle stick
Gaming controller
Headsets
Home electronics
Quick Features:
Easy command-based programming of all light patterns.
9 leds current source. 3 independent program execution engines.
8bit current level setting and 12bit PWM LED control.
I2C compatible control interface with four pin-selectable addresses.
Flexible General Purpose Output (GPO) for additional interfaces.
Interrupt function to notify the baseband IC when a lighting sequence has ended. Trigger input interface which synchronizes between multiple devices.
Automatically entering idle state with current consumption down to 10uA when leds are not active.
Application Diagram
The AS3661 complements the existing ams AG family of smartlight drivers consisting of: the AS3665, a larger version of the AS3661, which also addresses nine LEDs but which also has an audio synchronization mode in which the LED changes brightness and color in response to audio inputs
the AS3668, a simple four-channel RGBW breathing light driver.
