Le Carte de commande LED 8 Click Board™ est une carte complémentaire compacte optimisée pour la gradation et le clignotement des LED RGBA 32 mA. Cette carte est équipée du pilote LED à courant constant compatible SPI 24 canaux de NXP Semiconductors. Elle dispose de 24 canaux de sortie LED, d'une gradation/clignotement de groupe programmable mélangé à une luminosité LED individuelle et d'un délai de sortie LED programmable pour réduire les interférences électromagnétiques et les courants de surtension. Elle possède également un contrôle de gradation pour tous les canaux où les 24 canaux de sortie à courant constant peuvent absorber jusqu'à 32 mA et tolérer jusqu'à 5,5 V dans son état OFF. Comme son nom l'indique, cette Click Board™, en plus de piloter des LED RGBA, peut être utilisée à des fins de signalisation d'état LED dans les écrans LED, le rétroéclairage LED, le rétroéclairage des claviers pour téléphones portables ou appareils portables, et bien plus encore.
Le pilote LED 8 Click Board™ est pris en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Cette Click Board™ est un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé du socket mikroBUS™.
How Does The LED Driver 8 Click Board™ Work?
The LED Driver 8 Click Board™ is based on the PCA9957, a daisy-chain SPI compatible 4-wire serial bus controlled 24-channel constant current LED driver optimized for dimming and blinking 32 mA RGBA LEDs from NXP Semiconductors. The PCA9957 has 24 internal 8-bit DACs with an operating frequency of 31.25 kHz and a duty cycle from 0% to 100% used to adjust brightness levels for each LED current source. Each LED output is programmable and can be turned off, on (with no PWM control), set at its individual PWM controller value, or both individual and group PWM controller values. Its output peak current is adjustable with an 8-bit linear DAC from 125 μA to 31.875 mA because of the R4 resistor of 2kΩ connected to the REXT pin.
Gradation control for all current sources is achieved through serial interface and allows the user to ramp current automatically without any help from the MCU. It has two operation modes for each group: Single-Shot Mode (output pattern once) and Continuous Mode (output pattern repeat). Each channel can be set to either Gradation Mode or Normal Mode and assigned to any one of six gradation control groups. These groups have four independent registers to control ramp-up and ramp-down rate, step time, hold ON/OFF time, and final hold ON output current.
The LED Driver 8 Click Board™ communicates with MCU through a daisy-chain SPI compatible 4-wire serial interface with a clock frequency up to 10 MHz. The input labeled as OE routed to the PWM pin on the mikroBUS™ blinks all the LED outputs and can be used to externally PWM the outputs, which is useful when multiple devices need to be dimmed or blinked together without using software control. The PCA9957 also has a short load and overtemperature detection circuitry, thermal shutdown feature which protects the device when the internal junction temperature exceeds the factory-defined limit, and a Reset function routed to the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ which is activated by sending an active low input on this pin with a minimum pulse width of 2.5μs.
The LED Driver 8 Click Board™ is designed to be operated with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels that can be selected via VCC SEL jumper. This allows for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the SPI communication lines properly.

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The LED Driver 8 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
