Data brief
STEVAL-TLL006V1
Description
This demonstration board implements a flash
LED driver using the STCF06 device, which is a
buck-boost current mode converter with an I
interface.
The flash LED driver STCF06 has a high
operating frequency (1.8 MHz) which allows the
usage of small external components.
The demonstration board is designed for driving a
single LED with a forward voltage range from 2.7
to 5 V.
For easy connection to a PC, the STEVALTLL006V1 uses a µPSD-based motherboard
used as a bridge.
The STCF06 motherboard uses an USB human
interface device to communicate with the PC. It is
not necessary to install a driver, if the operating
system in use is capable of enumerating USB
human interface devices.
