UM2879 Host interface and GPIO connection Host interface and GPIO connection X-NUCLEO-LED12A1 expansion board embeds four LED1202 devices and is powered by the STM32 Nucleo development board. The devices are driven by the microcontroller via I C interface, connected through the same I C bus and synchronized by a clock chain.
UM2879 LED1202 LED1202 LED1202 is a 12-channel low quiescent current LED driver which guarantees 5 V output driving capability. Each channel is able to provide up to 20 mA with a headroom voltage of 350 mV (typ.) only. The output current can be adjusted separately for each channel by an 8-bit analog and 12-bit digital dimming control.
UM2879 Board setup Board setup To test the expansion board follow the procedure below. Step 1. Connect the X-NUCLEO-LED12A1 expansion board to the STM32 Nucleo development board from the top through the Arduino UNO R3 connectors. Step 2. Power the STM32 Nucleo development board using a mini-B USB cable.
