™ using STP1612PW05 and STM32 Introduction This user manual describes STMicroelectronics™ STEVAL-ILL028V1 LED dimmer board. This board is based on STP1612PW05 independent PWM LED driver controlled through STM32 microcontroller SPI interface and DMA (optional). This document explains how to use the board: hardware setup, demonstration firmware functions, possible interconnections with PC and evaluation of STP1612PW05.
UM0882 Board function overview Board function overview The STEVAL-ILL028V1 demonstration board features: ● Three STP1612PW05 (QFN24 4 x 4 mm) connected to 16 RBG LEDs ● 16 RGB high brightness LEDs ● One STM32 microcontroller using internal HS oscillator ●...
Hardware setup UM0882 Hardware setup The main board components are shown on Figure Figure 2. Setup of the board Power supply The board is powered by a 7.5 to 18 V DC voltage. The power source must be able to deliver a 0.7 A current.
UM0882 Description of the demonstration firmware functions Description of the demonstration firmware functions The main features of the firmware are: ● Brightness control for each LED ● Color control for each LED ● Error detection to detect LED failure ● Simulation Tetris game.
Description of the demonstration firmware functions UM0882 Mode “A” - interactive demonstration - color Tetris Mode 'A' performs a simple interactive demonstration similar to Tetris game. The game starts with a green brick moving from the bottom to the top of the LED area. The brick position can be controlled by using the right and left buttons.
Disconnect the power supply from the board. Connect the board to the computer through the USB cable. Connect the board to the power supply. If Windows asks for the installation of an appropriate driver, use STMicroelectronics VirtualCOMPort. Doc ID 16881 Rev 2 9/20 www.BDTIC.com/ST...

PC demonstration firmware software UM0882 To perform error detection, click “Perform error detection”. Error detection is performed correctly and does not depend on the board operating mode. Figure 12. Error detection mode performed The evaluation of the error detection through the USB interface: Jumpers P20, P21 and P22 are closed and the jumpers P1, P2 and P3 are open, the PC demonstration software will not report any LED defect after clicking ”Perform error detection”.
