Tech First Kit-Cypress-CY3267–PowerPSoC_Lighting-EVK

The CY3267.CY3267. PowerPSoC(tm) Lighting Evaluation Kit enables designers to evaluate Cypress' PowerPSoC family of devices and demonstrates their ability to create scalable LED management solutions. The PowerPSoC devices feature high performance power electronics including 1A, 2 MHz power FETs, hysteretic controllers, current sense amplifiers, and PrISM(tm)/PWM modulators to create a complete solution for LED power management. Right out of the box, the CY3267.CY3267. Kit can be used to evaluate PowerPSoC's ability to drive 4 LED channels (Red, Green, Blue and Amber) at the desired color and brightness output.

The CY3267.CY3267. Kit consists of two hardware components:

• CY3267.CY3267. PowerPSoC Main Board
  • This board consists of the PowerPSoC CY8CLED04DOCD device, designed with a floating load buck topology to drive 1A to each of its four output channels. The input power supply can come from the wall-wart connector or the custom power supply screw terminals.
• LED Daughter Board 
  • This board serves as a load to the Main Board. It consists of a 10W 4-channel RGBA LED integrated into a single package.
• Wall-wart Power Supply
• Optical Diffuser
• Retractable USB Cable
• Lighting Evaluation Kit CD
• Kit Guide and Quick Start Guide (located at CD Drive:\Documents\)
• Board Schematics, BOM, and Design Files (located at CD Drive:\Hardware\)
• Intelligent Lighting Control GUI Setup (located at CD Drive:\Software\)
• PowerPSoC default firmware source code (located at CD Drive:\Firmware\CY3267_PowerPSoC\)
• Kit default firmware hex files (located at CD Drive:\Firmware\Hex Files\)
• Quick Start Guide Booklet
• PSoC Software Development Suite CD
• PSoC Designer 5.0 Setup
• PSoC Programmer 3.0

The RDK-IDM ships with the software-customizable MDL-IDM-L35 module. The MDL-IDM-L35 features the following:

• Out-of-box evaluation experience using the PowerPSoC Main Board, RGBA LED daughter card and Intelligent Lighting Control GUI, all included in the kit.
• Kit default firmware demonstrates HB-LED control with intelligent color mixing using PowerPSoC.
• PC USB connectivity through on-board USB controller
• Screw terminals for flexible input voltage options (7V to 32V)
• Debug capability provided by the PowerPSoC On Chip Debugger (OCD) device and RJ-45 jack that connects to CY3215DK ICE Cube Emulation Kit.
• Interface to custom LED daughter boards through screw terminals from the PowerPSoC mother board
• CY3271 FirstTouch RF Kit Connector
• CyFi Radio Module Connector
• Access to all Function I/O pins of PowerPSoC for additional design and debug capability.

While the Main Board provides connectors for CY3271 FirstTouch RF Kit and the CyFi Radio Module, these are not enabled in the kit default firmware. You can also develop firmware to add a DMX512 or DALI interface to PowerPSoC and use the 5-pin header J12 to connect to a suitable external interface circuit.
