Application Note EALPLUM UICK TART UIDE 3.0 R EALPLUM ARDWARE NTRODUCTION 3.1 R EALPLUM The ”RealPlum” IC is an automotive LED lighting integrated device that combines together a 32bit MCU (Cortex M0) with a power management unit capable of handling 45V Load dump from the car battery, 3 high voltage constant current open drain IO with PWM, a LIN slave transceiver supporting LIN auto-addressing, a LIN master transceiver for extension and an integrated 10 bit ADC for monitoring, aging and temperature compensation purpose.
Application Note EALPLUM UICK TART UIDE 3.2 R EALPLUM The Realplum evaluation board (EVB) is a convenient platform for users to test the capabilities of the device The EVB provides access to each of the chip’s pins for easy testing. An RGB LED is installed on the EVB, and each output can be debugged via a jumper.
TART UIDE 3.2.1 Realplum EVKit Features ▪ Realplum 32-bit Cortex M0 Indie Semiconductor’s Realplum 32-bit ARM Cortex M0. ▪ Power Management Power is supplied to the EVB from an external DC power supply using a screw terminal connector. ▪ Red/Green/Blue LED ▪...
Application Note EALPLUM UICK TART UIDE 3.3 R EALPLUM BOARD CONFIGURATION J4 must be shorted with a jumper to apply VIN to the Realplum device. Three jumpers are needed at J1 to provide power for the red, green, and blue LEDs. When programming by the SWD port, a jumper may be needed at J8 to provide the debugger with a VTT reference voltage of 3.3V.
