Description

The EZ-0012 is mounted with an RL78/I1A microcontroller with on-chip high-precision LED lighting control functions, so it can be used as a reference platform for RL78/I1A system development. The LEDs can be controlled by using the internal features of the L78/I1A and an FET without the constant-current driver IC. 

Features

  • The on-chip high-precision dimming control (1ns or less PWM resolution) of the RL78/I1A can be used.
  • Supports the evaluation of three channels of LED constant current.
  • Supports four dimmer interfaces: DALI, DMX512, infrared, and analog volume.
  • Supports the automatic software generation tool Applilet EZ for HCD.

AI-generated Summary: Two sample applications demonstrate DALI-2 Control Gear functions using the RL78/I1A microcontroller. The first combines Control Gear (102ed.2.0) with LED light source extension (207ed.1.0), supporting linear/non-linear dimming, fade extension, and LED failure detection via serial communication. The second combines Control Gear (102ed.2.0) with color control extension (209ed.1.0), enabling three dimming and color control methods (X,Y; RGBWAF; Tc) with real-time monitoring of color temperature and brightness changes. Both support DALI-2 certification standards IEC 62386-101, 102, 207, and 209, and utilize Manchester-encoded DALI signals processed by RL78/I1A peripherals.

AI-generated Summary: The RL78/I1A microcontroller controls high brightness LEDs using constant current control with proportional-integral feedback. It supports independent dimming of three LEDs via variable resistors. The MCU integrates 16-bit timers for PWM dimming and constant current control across six channels, eliminating the need for external ICs. It also supports power factor correction, protective functions against overcurrent/overvoltage, and communication protocols including DALI, DMX512, and IR remote control. The system uses on-board A/D converters and timers to manage LED brightness and communication efficiently.
