To help designers quickly access the advantages of led control using the µPD78F8024 lighting controller, such as colour-management algorithms and sensor-driven thermal management, nec electronics has introduced the EV-K0-HCD evaluation kit. The evaluation board includes a µPD78F8024, controlling an on-board 4-channel buck regulator capable of driving LED strings at 350mA per channel. The kit also includes a power supply unit and USB cable to connect to a host PC, as well as Applilet GUI-based development software. Applilet supports automatic code generation to control the four channels of the µPD78F8024 controller. Also included on the evaluation board are an ambient light sensor and a temperature sensor, which developers can use to exercise the full range of intelligent functions available with the µPD78F8024 MCU. Four Luxeon Rebel LEDs are also integrated on-board, allowing rapid testing of new lighting designs and control schemes. The board also supports connection of Future Lighting Solutions LED boards or a Dialight light engine, providing additional flexibility to build and test flexible, low-power lighting solutions. Support for advanced µPD78F8024 control capabilities: • Colour management • Thermal management with temperature sensor • Power management with ambient-light sensor • Four LED dimmer programme options • RS-232 and RS-485 connections Want to apply for this board?
