The RL78/I1A DC/DC LED Control Demonstration Kit comes with the RL78/I1A
DC/DC LED Control Evaluation Board and a DVD containing all the appropriate
software tools and documentation.
The RL78/I1A DC/DC LED Control Evaluation Board is an evaluation board for
the new Renesas RL78/I1A microcontroller. It supports On-Board debugging,
flash programming, and is intended to demonstrate the RL78/I1A MCU's special
features dedicated to LED lighting system control.

LED lighting system control demonstration capabilities

RL78/I1A DC/DC LED Control Evaluation Board features circuits to perform
constant current control of 3 LED channels (RGB LEDs) in order to
demonstrate the special 16-bit Timers KBn (n = 0, 1, 2).
Buck topology
o
350 mA maximum current per channel
o

4 types of dimming control interface supported
3 ch. analog volume control interface (for standalone evaluation)
o
DALI protocol communication interface
o
DMX512 protocol communication interface
o
IR remote control interface
o
Easy to use device demonstration capabilities
RL78/I1A DC/DC LED Control Evaluation Board contains elements to easily
demonstrate simple I/O-functions (i.e. LED output, I/O lines, UART serial
interface) together with the other key functions such as Real Time Clock (RTC),
ADC and Timers.
RL78/I1A DC/DC LED Control Evaluation Board is powered via a 5V DC jack
connector. This power supply is used to power the RL78/I1A as well as the LEDs.
When On-Board debug function is used, the USB interface is used to power the
µPD78F7030 78K0 USB microcontroller.
RL78/I1A DC/DC LED Control Evaluation Board supports an On-Board debug
function by using the IAR C-SPY debugger, without the need of additional debug
hardware. It allows flash programming and supports standard debug functions
such as code execution, single stepping, software breakpoints, memory
manipulation etc. (The E1 emulator can also be used for on-chip debugging)
Windows based Flash programming software allows the user to select and
download application programs to the RL78/I1A DC/DC LED Control Evaluation
Board for evaluation purposes via USB.
Software tool used to generate full projects for different compilers.
