US 2017/0370983 A1 · OPTOELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR OPERATING AN OPTOELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY

Abstract

According to the present disclosure, an optoelectronic assembly is disclosed with at least one optoelectronic component, and a sensor circuit. The sensor circuit includes at least one energy supply circuit and an ascertainment circuit having at least one energy storage unit and a detection unit. The ascertainment circuit and the at least one optoelectronic component are electrically connected to one another in parallel. The at least one energy supply circuit is configured to supply electrical energy to the at least one optoelectronic component and the energy storage unit. The energy stored in the energy storage unit is supplied independently of the electrical energy supplied to the at least one optoelectronic component. The ascertainment circuit is configured such that the detection unit detects a change of the electrical energy stored in the energy storage unit depending on a change of the energy stored in the at least one optoelectronic component.
