LED Indication - Discrete

LED based indications are widely used in various applications such as automotive, medical, industrial and consumer electronics. It provides an important feedback to the system to indicate its operational status, such as the presence of power, temperature, humidity and other environmental conditions. In recent years, new technologies have enabled the development of high-precision light emitting diodes (LEDs) with improved control and efficiency. These advancements have led to the emergence of a wide range of LED-based indications.

31-1/R3C-ARTC Application Field and Working Principle

31-1/R3C-ARTC is a new type of discrete LED based indication platform, developed by Philips Semiconductor. This platform is designed with a controlling unit and 4-digit LED indicators for displaying the system\'s operating parameters or conditions. The four digits are connected to a multiplexed array and driven by a single time-division multiplex (TDM) system. The control unit enables the indicator to be dimmed, pulsing, and displaying minute and second values. The indicators are mainly used in automotive, medical and industrial applications.

The 31-1/R3C-ARTC platform provides flexibility and accuracy in controlling each LED. It uses a single-time division multiplex (TDM) system to control each LED. With this system, the four digits are driven together in one cycle, and the controller can precisely adjust the other three digits depending on the application requirement. This system also provides a wider viewing angle and improved color accuracy, enabling it to be used in various applications.

The 31-1/R3C-ARTC platform provides improved field operation reliability and a wide temperature range. It can operate reliably in a wide temperature range, from -40°C to +85°C. The LEDs are also temperature compensated, so they will not be affected by changes in temperature and humidity.

The 31-1/R3C-ARTC platform also offers a wide range of power supply options. It can operate on a nominal voltage range of 8-18V, making it suitable for AC and DC applications. The LEDs can also be powered by other power sources, such as solar cells and external batteries. With this wide range of power sources, it is suitable for various applications.

The 31-1/R3C-ARTC platform offers a wide variety of control options, including dimming, pulse, and display minute-second values. The controller can be used to synchronize and dim the LEDs, creating an eye-pleasing display. The controller also allows the LEDs to display various pre-defined patterns, such as alternative in/out, running lights, etc. This increases its flexibility in automotive, medical, industrial and consumer applications.

Overall, the 31-1/R3C-ARTC platform is highly flexible and accurate LED indication solution. It provides a wide range of power sources and control options, making it suitable for various applications. Its improved field operation reliability and wide temperature range make it suitable for industrial, medical, and automotive applications.
