Intelligent light source

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPT3006

We own a patent pending technology for intelligent lighting devices.

We want to redesign the overall electronics and we saw, starting by the lighting sensor OPT3006, that probably TI has most of the necessary components.

Actually we need a MCU, a sensor as OPT3006, a communication module, a DC/DC power supply and a constant current regulator.

We can share more detailed information but we would prefer not using a forum but a direct TI engineer connection.

Is it possible?

How can we evaluate if TI has the products suitable for our project?

Many thanks

    Hello Flavio,

      Thanks for starting this discussion on E2E.  As you probably know, the OPT3006 Product Folder page is here: http://www.ti.com/product/OPT3006 .

      I am curious as to what is driving this redesign; cost-reduction?  Size reduction?  Better performance?  Lower power consumption?

    I am also respectful of your desire to not discuss the complete product on an open Forum.  One technique that might work is to discuss each block or section of the design as an independent, separate issue; so, for example, the MCU requirements can be discussed in one thread, when complete, then the communications, and when all the blocks are complete, then determine the power rails required.  In this scenario, we can directly engage the experts for each of those product lines, as required.  

    In addition, I am sending you an E2E friendship request so we can discuss proprietary issues directly when required.  Would this approach work for you?

    At your service,

    ~Leonard~

    Leonard, thanks for your answer.
    I will send you a message on E2E friendship explainng what we have and what we would like to evaluate with TI products. Actually we are driven by evolving technology. I mean when we started with this project in 2013 there were not available all the sensors and other boards that now we saw there are and the cost to integrate them would be much more lower than keeping to use our own circuits. At the end also the cost is driving us because we guess that to use "standard" circuits will reduce a lot the cost of the system; since the core is not the but in the software it would make sense to avoid losing money and time to keep our circuits.
    Thanks
