RGB LED Lighting Shield

The RGB LED Lighting Shield from Infineon is one of the first intelligent evaluation boardscompatible with Arduino as well as Infineon’s XMC1100 Boot Kit.It is designed to be easily configurable and combinable for different LED light enginesand 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 andis able to drive up to 3 LED channels with constant current. The Shield itself is poweredby 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.The BCCU enables extreme low-cost but high quality LED lighting solutions, with minimaluser code. The RGB LED Lighting Shield with XMC1202 for Arduino has also been designedto provide options for the evaluation of smooth, eye-friendly dimming, color mixingfor different topologies, and it can be extended with for example radar or by using themounting option for DMX512.
