[Munich,Germany,June 3,2021]Reducing complexity,enhancing functionality and increasing efficiency are top priorities for all lighting manufacturers.Osram and Infineon Technologies AG(FSE:IFX/OTCQX:IFNNY)are working together to enable the programming of Near Field Communication(NFC)for the industry.Osram's latest OPTOTRONIC®FIT product family features Infineon's NLM0011 and NLM0010 dual-mode NFC wireless configuration chips(ICs)with pulse width modulation(PWM).This combination is expected to bring benefits to all levels of the value chain for LED luminaires.
　　NFC programming is an emerging technology designed to replace time-consuming resistor setting techniques through a contactless NFC interface.The built-in light loss compensation(CLO)function can maintain a fixed lumen output during the use of the lamp,thereby prolonging the life of the lamp and further improving the energy saving effect.The introduction of this NFC interface solution will help to develop more cost-effective LED driver products.
　　By automating in-line or batch programming during the production process,it is not only possible to increase production efficiency,but also to greatly increase the flexibility of use throughout the LED value chain and LED luminaire life cycle:luminaire parameters such as lumen output and CLO settings,All can be programmed during installation.The OSRAM Tuner4TRONIC smartphone app supports fine-tuning and can be adapted to the desired lighting requirements.
　　Michael Huelskemper,Head of Product Management EMEA at Osram Digital Systems,said:"Combining Osram's industry-leading LED driver programming suite with Infineon's ICs,we extend all the benefits of near field communication to the entire award-winning LED driver portfolio.."
　　From LED driver and luminaire manufacturers,to lighting service companies and end users,the benefits are numerous:reduced LED driver versions,simplified LED module selection,end-of-line configuration,and improved output control accuracy.In addition,it makes logistics more efficient and reduces installation,wiring and maintenance costs.Through the application and the security features provided by the new ICs,luminaire manufacturers will have full control over access to these features.
　　"Infineon's innovative NFC-PWM family creates the most cost-effective NFC programming.Adding CLO functionality and digital Functions such as parameter setting help our customers to meet modern LED design requirements.On the other hand,these products also offer greater flexibility.”
