Texas Instruments has introduced a wireless remote control RGB LED design kit. The TPS62260LED plus the eZ430-RF2500 development tool completes a fully supported platform to design new and exciting colour lighting innovations for consumer, commercial, professional and architectural applications.
The TPS62260LED board controls the colour and brightness of a lamp or runs an automatic colour light animation program. Designers generate colour with the three Osram high-brightness LEDs (red, green and blue). An MSP430F2131 microcontroller controls the brightness of each LED with constant current generated by three LED drivers, one for each LED.
The design module is also pin compatible with TI's TPS62240 buck converters for lower-current LED applications, such as indoor ambient lighting, and the TPS62290 for higher-current LED applications, such as wall washing.
Designers can utilise wireless communication by using the eZ430-RF2500 development tool, which plugs directly onto the TPS62260LED board. This allows designers to create a lighting network of RF-controlled lamps. With an RF remote, the need for additional infrastructure to control the lamp is eliminated. This is beneficial in applications like building automation control networks because it allows for upgrading facilities to LED lighting with minimal wiring infrastructure changes.
