Sepp Lars HB LED solution supports DMX512 protocol

The match Plath semiconductor company (Cypress), EZ-Color before the design of its award-winning introduced support for new protocols, can be used for high brightness (HB) LED intelligent lighting system. EZ-Color solutions are now available for the DMX512 protocol driver, allowing designers to easily and quickly create a complete intelligent lighting network, and no need to write any code.

Combined with EZ-Color series high brightness LED controller with the industry's first visual design tools for embedded PSoC Express perfect, provides a complete design for architectural lighting, general signs, lighting and other entertainment development application solutions. The solution allows the designer to select the high brightness LED part number, temperature or light feedback, as well as white light.

Plath EZ-Color business unit general manager pointed out: "DMX512 protocol because it can provide a high degree of flexibility for lighting designers, which has been widely used. By supporting the agreement, it helps to simplify the design of intelligent lighting network designers using EZ-Color, so as to meet the needs of theater, commercial lighting and other complex systems. "

For the widely used DMX512 protocol pre configuration driver enables designers to control the stage and industrial buildings and other applications in the field of complex lighting network controller and dimmer. Through the EZ-Color solution, just set up three variables in PSoC Express, you can easily use the DMX512 protocol.

About EZ-Color high brightness LED solution

High brightness LED design needs to use custom firmware for a series of complex calculations in order to ensure the consistency of color. At present, high brightness LED designers are faced with the two biggest problems: one is the need to consider different encoding (manufacturing bin) between the LED performance specifications; two is to reduce the performance of LED at different temperatures (such as light output wavelength, etc.). The use of PSoC Express, designers only need to select color from the screen color gamut. The pre loaded production coding specifications and temperature or optical feedback algorithm options are automatically applied to the selected design and programmed into the EZ-Color controller. For complex designs, this can save weeks or even months of design time.

EZ-Color high brightness LED controller can support up to 16 LED channels, while competing products can support up to four to five channels. The more channels to support, it means that the design can save tens or even hundreds of controllers in the design, thereby reducing the design complexity, power consumption and board level space. EZ-Color high brightness LED controller also uses race Plath is currently applying patented high precision lighting signal modulation (PrISM) technology. PrISM modulation technology can significantly reduce the low-frequency flicker and radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI), and these are common problems in the design of high brightness LED. Designers can also add more features to the EZ-Color controller, such as battery charging, motor control, and other features.

EZ-Color series solutions are supported by the CY3261A-RGB evaluation kit. The evaluation kit can not only demonstrate the flexibility and ease of use of EZ-Color in high brightness LED color mixing applications, but also can be used to ensure the consistency of color temperature compensation. The evaluation kit also provides an interactive graphical interface, so you can use CIE chart or direct control of each high brightness LED color mixing. The kit can be purchased through the online store on the www.cypress.com website, priced at $149.
