Getting started with the X-NUCLEO-LED12A1 LED driver expansion board based
Introduction
The
X-NUCLEO-LED12A1
LED driver expansion board for
48 LEDs.
The
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 through an 8-bit analog and 12-bit digital dimming control.
The
X-NUCLEO-LED12A1
expansion board comes with an additional LED panel board that houses two LEDs matrices: a 6x8
white LED matrix and a 4x4 RGB matrix.
LED matrices can be supplied via an external power supply connected to J13 connector and by selecting the right path through
J15 jumper to reach the maximum luminosity available.
