STEVAL-ILL060V1

High brightness LED array driver with diagnostics evaluation board for automotive applications based on the STAP16DPPS05 automotive-grade low voltage 16bit constant current LED sink driver and STM8A. The LED driver is configured and controlled through an 8bit automotive-grade STM8A microcontroller via an SPI interface. An A5974D DC-DC converter, also automotive-grade provides the voltages and power needed for overall operation of the board. 6VDC to 24VDC power supply with reverse voltage protection, short-circuit protection and input surge protection and standard DC jack input.

• Backward/forward transition switch to change modes
• SWIM connector for MCU programing and debugging
• Connector for LIN development and evaluation
• Potentiometer to change brightness and speed of patterns
• 32 white LEDs (PLCC 4)
• 8 jumpers to simulate open-circuit error, 4 jumpers, to simulate short-circuit error
• USB-UART bridge to interface board with GUI
• Demonstrates pre-configured patterns with adjustable brightness/speed
• Demonstrates basic mode or frame programming mode with GUI SW
