Software Information

› XMC™ LED Current Control Explorer Kit is preloaded with

LED_CCEXP_C2_AUTOMATIC_RIPPLE_TUNING

› Features of this software

– Safe to use with a wide range of LED engines and input voltage supply

– Automatically tunes current ripple to adopt to input voltage and LED load

– Not the best dimming performance and efficiency as the code serves to

cater to a wide range of LED engines and input voltage. Fine tuning of

software parameters and hardware may be required to achieve best

dimming performance and efficiency

– Average LED current ≈ 620mA

› All other software provided in the package are developed with MOLEX

180081-4250

– Average LED current = 700mA

– Forward voltage = 12.3V

› To manually adopt software to your LED engine, follow the instructions on

next slides

34

Getting Started

Adopting SW to Your LED Engine (1/6)

1. Import LED_CCEXP_D1_MANUAL_CALIB code onto DAVE™

2. Compile and program the kit

3. Connect your LED engine to the kit

4. Power up the kit

Note: Ensure that the voltage supplied is the maximum expected

input voltage and sufficient to power the LED

5. Observe the LED current waveform on oscilloscope

a. Measure the LED current rise time

b. Measure the LED current fall time

c. Measure the time required for LED current to fall from peak

to reference value (620mA). We shall call this parameter the

Required OFF-time

35

Getting Started

Adopting SW to Your LED Engine (2/6)

› Lets take for example, LED engine A:

36

LED engine A

Rise time = 760ns Fall time = 2180ns

Required OFF-time = 480ns

LED Current Reference = 620 mA

Getting Started

Adopting SW to Your LED Engine (3/6)

6. Open the UI of GLOBAL_BCCU APP

7. Change the frequency of FCLK such that the bit-time is the

same as the LED current rise time or fall time, whichever is

longer

– This is to ensure the following criteria are met:

a. During an ON bit, there is enough time for the LED current to

reach the desired peak level

b. During an OFF bit, there is enough time for the LED current to

reach zero

37

Getting Started

Adopting SW to Your LED Engine (4/6)

› In the example of LED engine A, the fall time is longer

› Set FCLK such that Actual bit-time = 2180ns

› Can be calculated:

𝐹𝐶𝐿𝐾 =

1

𝑏𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒

× 4

𝑒. 𝑔. 𝐹𝐶𝐿𝐾 =

1

2180 × 10

−9

× 4

≈ 1.835𝑀𝐻𝑧

38

Getting Started

Adopting SW to Your LED Engine (5/6)

8. Open the UI of PDM_DIMMED_LED_LAMP APP

9. Change the Generated OFF-time based on the value measured

previously

– This is to ensure just enough time for the LED current to drop

to just below the reference level i.e. minimum ripple size

– In the example of LED engine A, this is 480ns

– Considering a propagation delay of 100ns, we shall set the

OFF-time to (480-100 = 380ns)

39

Getting Started

Adopting SW to Your LED Engine (6/6)

10. Re-generate code , compile and program the kit

11. Observe LED current waveform

You now have the optimized parameters to use your LED engine with the kit!
