EV-K0-HCD Evaluation Kit User’s Manual 1. INTRODUCTION The EV-K0-HCD evaluation kit for NEC Electronics’ highly integrated, general-purpose µPD78F8024 microcontroller (MCU) with high-current drive allows you to demonstrate the MCU’s capabilities and easily develop intelligent code for emerging high-power LED lighting applications. Compact yet flexible...
EV-K0-HCD Evaluation Kit User’s Manual 2. HARDWARE The EV-K0-HCD board measures 3.15 × 3.15 inches or 80 × 80 millimeters (mm). This small form factor is enabled by the use of components such as inductors that are small in size thanks to the µPD78F8024 MCU’s constant-current drives with high switching frequency.
On-board LEDs There are four LUXEON Rebel high-power LEDs mounted on the back of the EV-K0-HCD board, one red (R), one green (G), one blue (B) and one white (W). By default, the board is set to drive the LEDs...
Figure 2. Driving Future Lighting Solutions LED Boards LED Light Engine Connector The EV-K0-HCD board has four LED light engine connectors (refer to J5, J6, J7 and J8 in the schematics) to the 4-pin terminal block. The following table describes the function of each pin.
Figure 3. Driving the Dialight Light Engines RS-485/DMX-512 Interface The EV-K0-HCD board supports DMX-512 protocol over RS-485 using the MCU’s UART0 port. The RS-485/DMX-512 connector is a 3-pin terminal block connector that accepts up to 24 American Wire Gauge (AWG) wires.
Not Connected Expansion IO Connector A dual-row 10-pin header footprint in 2mm-pitch is available on the EV-K0-HCD board (refer to CN3 in the schematics), the uPD78F8024 device’s UART0/CSI and I2C signals are pulled out on this connector. The following table shows the pin out connections.
µPD78F8024 MCU’s A/D converter input. To connect to it, place DIP switch (SW1) position 6 in the “ON” position. 2.12 DIP Switch The EV-K0-HCD board uses a 6-position DIP switch (SW1) for configuration purposes. The following table shows the various configuration options. rd Configuration Options...
EV-K0-HCD Evaluation Kit User’s Manual 3. SOFTWARE The EV-K0-HCD board is preprogrammed with a demonstration code that cyclically dims the four on-board high-power LEDs. You can also use the Applilet EZ software tool generate demonstration programs with different dimming control patterns. Refer to the Applilet EZ Software User’s Manual and EV-...
