The LED dimmer demo board, demonstrates the capability of the I2C-bus to perform red/green/blue color LED lighting and mixing operations. Two separate control cards comprise the demo board: The Keypad Control Card contains a microcontroller, a 16-key keypad/controller, and a power supply/regulator module. The LED Control Card contains LEDs (red, green, blue, white, RGB) and the devices used to control them. The two control cards directly connect to each other without the need of external cables. The keypad control card contains an NXP P89LV51RD2 microcontroller interfacing with a NXP PCA9564 I2C-bus controller to generate the I2C commands. The microcontroller is programmed to allow the 16-key keypad to control the RGB color mixing, generate fun light patterns, and emulate battery status monitoring. The LED control card accepts input from the keypad control card's keypad. Power is supplied to the LED dimmer demo board via the keypad control card by either an external 9V power supply or by a 9V battery. Want to apply for this board?
