The development board features up to 250 W output supporting 6 LED strings and optional intelligent communications such as DALI, DMX512, and Power Line Communications.
The C2000 Piccolo MCU LED Lighting & Communications Kit allows developers to get started with digital control in lighting and lighting communications. Featuring Piccolo MCU's digital control of the power supply, lighting, and communications, developer's can get jump started with intelligent lighting designs. The development board features up to 250 W output supporting 6 LED strings and optional intelligent communications such as DALI, DMX512, and Power Line Communications (PLC, sold separately). The integrated power supply is full AC-mains connected with Piccolo MCU control of an efficient Isolated Resonant LLC DC/DC power topology.
Through controlSUITE, C2000's MCU's software portal, the development kit comes with full example projects detailing the digital power, lighting, and communications control. Users are guided from simple open loop design through full closed loop control. Communications software examples are likewise featured, detailing common lighting communication protocol software implementations. An included graphical user interface allows users to quickly begin experimentation with the kit before further experimentation at the software level. All kit hardware and software is completely open source and available for free through controlSUITE.
