Microcontrollers for Advanced Lighting Solutions TI’s MCU lighting solutions give designers efficient, flexible and scalable intelligent lighting management and control Intelligent lighting is the ability to reduce the amount of light and/or energy used so that only the right amount of light is delivered exactly where it is needed. Digitally controlled lighting using microcontrollers (MCUs) allows developers to take advantage of the unique characteristics of LEDs and other light sources to develop efficient, scalable and flexible designs for intelligent lighting. With digital control, designers can scale and easily adjust designs to multiple applications, maximizing reuse and decreasing design Solution/Protocol Product Tool/Kit For more info DALI MSP430™ MCU/ Piccolo™ (C2000™ MCU) TPS62660 LED-338 EVM TMDSIACLEDCOMKIT www.ti.com/daliappnote DMX512 MSP430 MCU/ Stellaris®/ Piccolo (C2000 MCU) DMX512 apps note Third-party design TMDSIACLEDCOMKIT MSP430 – Demo code and reference design is available upon request at www.ti.com/ technicalsupport; Stellaris – Available through third-party Golden IC Technology Co., Ltd.
