STMicroelectronics STEVAL LED Driver Evaluation Board for LED6000 High Power LED STEVAL-ILL088V1

STMicroelectronics STEVAL-ILL088V1 LED Driver Evaluation Board is a high-performance evaluation kit utilizing the LED6000 device, a monolithic current source designed for high power LED driving applications. The board employs a 61 V asynchronous switching regulator with an embedded power MOSFET, enabling sourcing of up to 3 A DC current based on application conditions. Its design optimizes efficiency with a typical 250 mV RSENSE voltage drop, a switch-over feature at the VBIAS pin, and pulse skipping for light load management.

Digital dimming control is implemented via a dedicated DIM pin, allowing precise brightness adjustment. The evaluation board offers adjustable current limit thresholds and switching frequency to tailor performance to specific application requirements. A built-in 250 kHz oscillator can be externally tuned up to 1.5 MHz, supporting high switching frequencies that decrease the overall application size and improve compatibility with ceramic output capacitors.

This board is ideal for industrial, commercial, and laboratory use cases involving high power LED solutions requiring efficient driving mechanisms. Synchronization of two LED6000 regulators in a 180° out-of-phase configuration further optimizes the input RMS current, benefiting power-sensitive environments.
