Shanghai, China, February 25, 2025- Leading global optical solutions provider, ams Osram (SIX: AMS), announced today that it has become a key supplier for environmental dynamic lighting applications for Ningbo Fulda Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. ("Fulda"), a leading intelligent integrated system product automotive manufacturer in China, with AS1163 independent intelligent driver (SAID). This cooperation marks an important moment in the development of automotive technology and fully demonstrates the versatility and advanced performance of AS1163 in optimizing the cost of dynamic lighting application systems. This product supports sensor integration, has an ultra-thin appearance designed specifically for roof lighting, and can enhance the performance of the interior lighting system.

AS1163 is an advanced intelligent LED driver that is seamlessly compatible with Open Systems Protocol (OSP) networks. Its innovative design enables low-power or medium power LEDs to achieve 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 also an important technological breakthrough in modern software defined vehicle architecture.

Alex Lollio, Head of the Optical Solutions Product Line at AMS Osram, said, "We are delighted to see that Fulda has adopted our AS1163 product in its innovative products. We hope to work together with Fulda to provide advanced solutions and promote the development of automotive dynamic lighting technology. AS1163 marks a significant leap forward in automotive interior lighting technology. At the same time, it serves as a connecting bridge, allowing any component with an I2C interface (such as sensors or actuators) to easily connect to the OSP network, achieving seamless integration with OSIRE smart LEDs in OSP communication mode. With its advanced features and high flexibility, AS1163 has become an ideal choice for modern automotive lighting systems

The collaboration with Fulda fully demonstrates the excellent performance and high adaptability of AS1163. Fulda has integrated AS1163 into its latest models, utilizing its features to create dynamic and customized lighting effects. This integration significantly enhances the driving experience, providing excellent lighting solutions for various applications such as roof lighting, ambient lighting, and cabin lighting.

The senior management of Fulda Company stated, "We have integrated AS1163 into the in car lighting system, bringing customers an unprecedented lighting experience. The dynamic and customizable lighting effects achieved by AS1163 not only enhance the aesthetics of the vehicle, but also strengthen its functionality

AS1163 is capable of driving multiple RGB LED channels and is highly suitable for roof lighting scenarios. Its high-resolution brightness adjustment and dynamic lighting effects enable Forda to provide customers with unique and highly attractive roof lighting solutions. This not only enhances the aesthetics of the vehicle, but also improves visibility. Environmental lighting is crucial for creating a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere inside the car. AS1163 supports flexible driving of RGB and monochrome LEDs to meet the needs of complex environmental lighting design. The system can customize light and shadow effects according to the driver's mood and preferences, bringing a unique luxury experience. Its 16 pin QFN package is slim and the output current is adjustable, making it very suitable for long strip thin LED light strips for cabin lighting. AS1163 supports a wide range of lighting configurations from low-power LEDs (for soft lighting) to medium power LEDs (to meet higher lighting requirements). This multifunctionality ensures that Fulda products are equipped with the most advanced cabin lighting technology, which is both practical and stylish.

The successful application of AS1163 in Fulda demonstrates the persistent pursuit of innovation and excellence in automotive lighting by AMS Osram. With the development of the industry, AS1163 serves as the core driving force for advanced lighting solutions, helping the automotive industry move towards smarter, more efficient, and customizable lighting systems.

AS1163 and AS1163B have now been released.
