The ‘Gaming suitcase demo system’ is a demonstration kit for I2C-bus controllers, LED
drivers and stepper motors. This demonstration kit and software provide an overview of
the capabilities of its components and is easy to use.
The PCU9669 is a new generation I
(UFm)’ which is defined in latest I
MCU’s parallel bus and 3 ch annel I
PCU9669 (and its family) has a large buffer to manage transfers with ultra low CPU load.
The PCU9955 is a constant current LED driver.
The PCU9655 is a voltage switch LED driver.
Sample code is available for the demo kit. The processor is an NXP LPC2214 ARM
microcontroller. The LPC12214 supports to build a feature-rich demo with its high
capability.
This evaluation board kit is populated with the following:

C-bus specification (Ref. 1). The PCU9669 bridges
2
C buses (UFm × 2 channels + Fm+ × 1 channel). The
• PCU9669 motherboard with ARM7 LPC2214 microcontroller
• One 160-white-LED board (PCA9955)
• Six 4-RGB-LED boards (PCU9655)
• One 8-white-LED board (PCU9655)
• Two 5-stepper motor boards (PCA9629)
• Universal power supply
(1) Channel 0 (J11) of PCU9669 is an Fm+ channel. Normal I2C-bus devices can be connected on this channel.
(2) Channel 1 (J12) and channel 2 (J13) of PCU9669 are UFm channels and are used for the Ultra-Fast mode LED controllers.
Familiarity with the I2C-bus is helpful but not required.
