                    Infineon’s NFC-PWM series solves LED current setting challenges, and increases LED driver market value
    

Image of Infineon Technologies' NLM0011 NFC Configuration IC with Integrated CLO Infineon’s NLM0010 and NLM0011 are two dual-mode NFC configuration ICs with pulse width modulation (PWM) output primarily designed for LED applications to enable NFC programming. The NLM0011 is an NFC configuration IC with an integrated constant lumen output (CLO) function. Both ICs come with advanced features such as operating-time counting and on/off counting. For the customer, there is no need to invest extra efforts to enable these, neither to develop firmware nor to integrate a microcontroller. The NFC-PWM series makes adaptation to existing designs easy.

The NLM0011 operates in two modes: configuration mode (passive) and lighting mode (active). In configuration mode, where the LED driver is not powered (no V_CC applied to the NFC IC), the NFC IC is powered by the RF field sent from the NFC reader. Parameters stored in the non-volatile memory (NVM) can be configured wirelessly via the NFC interface. In lighting mode, as soon as the LED driver is under power (V_CC applied to the NFC IC), a PWM output is generated according to the stored PWM parameters. During the active mode, the NFC interface is disabled.
