Applilet EZ for HCD Controller
For Ver.9.00
CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW
1. 1 Overview
Applilet EZ for HCD Controller is a tool used to automatically generate software for microcontrollers for LED lamps
and illumination and to write programs.
By specifying dimming and the communication mode on the GUI, Applilet EZ for HCD Controller can be used to
easily generate the programs that control the software for microcontrollers that control LEDs at a constant current. It
can also be used to automatically write the generated software to the flash memory in microcontrollers via a USB
cable and to check operation by using an evaluation board.
By using Applilet EZ for HCD Controller, the labor hours for controlling LEDs, developing communication software,
and checking operation can be significantly reduced. In addition, application systems for LED lamps and illumination
that use microcontrollers can be evaluated without microcontroller expertise.
Caution For DALI communication, it's possible to output source files at the time of IEC62386-102 ed1.0 standard
selection.
The hex files are output at the time of IEC62386-102+207 ed1.0 and the IEC62386-102 ed2.0 standard
selection.
For IEC62386-102+ 207 ed1.0 and IEC62386-102 ed2.0, a library is prepared separately.
For details, contact your local Renesas Electronics sales.

RL78/I1A DCDC LED Control Evaluation Board
·································· This is an evaluation board for LEDs that uses the RL78/I1A.
Red, green, and blue LEDs are mounted on the board. The LEDs can be
controlled by using the internal features of the L78/I1A and an FET without the
constant-current driver IC.
RL78/I1A AC/DC Full digital 3ch LED control unit
·································· This is an evaluation unit for the LED power source with the RL78/I1A
implemented manufactured by Tessera Technology Inc. It can control the power
factor correction circuit (PFC) and up to three channels of LED. Writing to the
microcomputer and debugging are handled by using the on-board USB interface
or E1.
