Abstract
An electronic device for an automotive lighting device, including a driver and a mixer. The driver includes a power and signal input and has a supply voltage threshold, in such a way that the microcontroller is configured to reset if the voltage value in the power and signal input is lower than the supply voltage threshold. The mixer includes an output connected to the power and signal input of the driver, and is configured to provide an output signal which is related to the highest between the non-permanent signal and the permanent signal inputs.
Claims20
An electronic device for an automotive lighting device, the electronic device comprising:
- a driver comprising a microcontroller, the driver comprising at least one power and signal input, and the microcontroller having a supply voltage threshold, the microcontroller being configured to reset if a voltage value in the at least one power and signal input is lower than the supply voltage threshold;
- and
- a mixer having an output connected to the at least one power and signal input of the driver, the mixer comprising at least a first input and a second input,
- wherein
- the first input of the mixer is configured to receive a non-permanent signal configured to provide information about a luminous functionality,
- the second input of the mixer is configured to receive a permanent signal higher than the supply voltage threshold, and
- the mixer is configured to provide an output signal related to a highest between the non-permanent signal and the permanent signal.
