RGB LED Lighting Shield - Product Brief

Product Brief
RGB LED Lighting Shield
with XMC1202 for Arduino
The RGB LED Lighting Shield from Infineon is one of the first intelligent evaluation boards
compatible with Arduino as well as Infineon’s XMC1100 Boot Kit.
It is designed to be easily configurable and combinable for different LED light engines
and lamps, for fast prototyping and in-expensive evaluation of LED lighting applications.
The RGB LED Lighting Shield with XMC1202 for Arduino uses a DC/DC buck topology and
is able to drive up to 3 LED channels with constant current. The Shield itself is powered
by a programmable XMC 32-bit ARM® MCU with embedded Brightness Color Control Unit
(BCCU, XMC1200 MCU series), for flicker-free LED dimming and color control.
Applications
„„ LED lighting
Features
„„ Compatible with Arduino Uno R3
and XMC1100 boot kit from Infineon
The BCCU enables extreme low-cost but high quality LED lighting solutions, with minimal
user code. The RGB LED Lighting Shield with XMC1202 for Arduino has also been designed
to provide options for the evaluation of smooth, eye-friendly dimming, color mixing
for different topologies, and it can be extended with for example radar or by using the
mounting option for DMX512.

Product Brief
RGB LED Lighting Shield
with XMC1202 for Arduino
The RGB LED Shield adds brilliant flicker-free light control to Arduino projects.
It communicates with a master board via the I2C protocol as a slave. Either an Arduino
Uno R3 or the XMC1100 Boot Kit from Infineon can be used as the master board.
Benefits
„„ Fast prototyping of LED lighting
„„ Flicker-free light thanks to high-
The Shield is equipped with an XMC1202 microcontroller, featuring a dimming control
peripheral for LED lighting applications – the Brightness and Color Control Unit (BCCU).
It contains 3 independent dimming engines with 9 independent Pulse Density Modulated
(PDM) channels.
1 dimming engine and 6 channels are used in this shield. There are 10 basic sets of I2C
commands that can be sent to the shield to control the connected LED lamp with various
lighting effects. 22 easy to configure parameters enhance the freedom to connect different LED lamps.
speed pulse density modulation
„„ Easy-to-use dynamic dimming and
color control
„„ Small size thanks to high-frequency
current control (high power density)
„„ Backdoor access to on-board microcontroller for advanced users and
parameterization
DMX512 control is supported with a mounting option for the interface chip.
The board’s design allows for easy connection to any Arduino board or the XMC1100 boot
kit via headers.
