STEVAL-ILL059V1

High brightness LED array driver evaluation board with diagnostics for automotive applications based on the STAP16DPS05 and STM8A. The LED driver is configured and controlled through an 8bit automotive grade STM8A microcontroller via SPI interface. An automotive grade A5974D DC-DC converter provides the voltages and power for the overall functioning of the board. This board can be used to demonstrate the LED driver features or used to aid in application development. Software applications can be written, downloaded and debugged using the on-board SWIM connector.

• Stand-alone mode: on-board buttons to switch between the demos
• Potentiometer as a slider to control speed or brightness of the pattern
• Open circuit, short circuit using open-circuit/short-circuit jumpers
• Demonstrates pre-configured patterns (with adjustable brightness/speed)
• All the features present in stand-alone mode can be controlled using the GUI
• Global brightness control to change the brightness of all channels
• Frame programming mode and 4 predefined presets with variable transition time between frames
• Open/short error detection and representation on the GUI
• Error detection in 'no loop' and in loop of 0.5s and 1s
