Rutronik Adapter Board – RAB5 OSIRE

Revolutionizing LED applications: From automotive interiors to Industry 4.0

The market for LEDs covers a wide range of applications, from automotive interior lighting to various industrial applications. In the automotive sector, LEDs are critical to enhance interior aesthetics and functionality. Industrial applications are equally broad, encompassing smart factories, automated production lines, and smart lighting systems that adapt to real-time data. These advances are an integral part of Industry 4.0, where LEDs play a key role in creating efficient, adaptive, and sustainable manufacturing environments. However, challenges such as energy efficiency, integration with IoT, and maintaining high performance under varying conditions remain critical.

Advanced LED solutions: Featuring ams OSRAM OSIRE® LEDs

The Adapter Board RAB5 features the ams OSRAM OSIRE® LEDs as a key component. The LEDs are designed for dynamic ambient lighting, offering individually addressable chips for maximum flexibility in color and driver selection. Additionally, the user-friendly GUI from ams OSRAM allows for easy programming of each LED, enhancing usability and customization. 

The combination of the Adapter Board RAB5 with the Base Board RDK4 is particularly effective due to the automotive microcontroller integrated on the RDK4. To be more precise, Infineon's PSoCTM 4100S Max with a low-cost Arm® Cortex®-M0+ automotive microcontroller further complements this setup by enabling seamless integration and advanced control capabilities. 

 

”With our RAB5, you benefit from a development environment to test high-performance LED applications.”
