EZ-0011 CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW
The EZ-0011(LED Evaluation Board for 78K0/IB2 PFC) is an evaluation kit for LED control that uses the 78K0/IB2
microcontroller.
This product operates with power supply of 100 - 240 VAC (50 [Hz]/60 [Hz]).
This product allows you to perform PFC control required to improve the power factor and Buck converter control (3
channels) required for dimming and toning of the LED by using the functi ons of the 78K0/IB2. It supports the software
auto generation tool Applilet EZ for HCD provided by Renesas Electronics, that allo ws you to evaluate the functions of
the microcontroller easily.
For writing programs to the 78K0/IB2 and on-chip debug, a separately sold on-chip debug emulator MINICUBE2 with
programming functions is required.
Also, our lighting communication master evaluation board (EZ-0008) can be used to perform dimming control via DALI
communication/DMX512 communication by using the GUI software on the PC. You can download the GUI software from
our website.
