Under the impact of the global "core shortage" tide, many car companies choose to develop their own chips, or cross-border cooperation to develop chips, or strengthen cooperation with upstream suppliers to ensure the stability of the automotive semiconductor supply chain as much as possible. At the same time, supply chain manufacturers such as automotive semiconductors are also actively seeking changes.

According to foreign media reports, German auto parts supplier Continental recently revealed that it has independently developed an LED driver chip called "CELSIUS degrees Celsius" for its new A generation of automotive lighting control technology can meet the needs of future automotive lighting integration, self-adaptation, and intelligent interconnection trends.

It is reported that CELSIUS has 8 invention patents, powerful and efficient drive function, high configuration flexibility, and can control lighting functions such as brake lights and indicator lights to meet fault protection in different application scenarios. In addition, the LED driver chip has a variety of innovative functions, which helps to reduce the cost of the entire luminaire system.

According to news, the CELSIUS LED driver chip has been mass-produced and released this year, and will be used in European self-owned brand models. (Compiled by LEDinside)
