The PowerPSoC family incorporates programmable system-on-chip technology with the best in class power electronics controllers and switching devices to create easy to use power-system-on-chip solutions for lighting applications.

All PowerPSoC family devices are designed to replace traditional MCUs, system ICs, and the numerous discrete components that surround them. PowerPSoC devices feature high performance power electronics including 1 ampere 2 MHz power FETs, hysteretic controllers, current sense amplifiers, and PrISM/PWM modulators to create a complete power electronics solution for LED power management. Configurable power, analog, digital, and interconnect circuitry enables a high level of integration in a host of industrial, commercial, and consumer LED lighting applications.

This architecture integrates programmable analog and digital blocks to enable you to create customized peripheral configurations that match the requirements of each individual application. Additionally, the device includes a 24 MHz CPU, Flash program memory, SRAM data memory, and configurable I/O in a range of convenient pinouts and packages.

The PowerPSoC architecture, as illustrated in the block diagrams, comprises five main areas: PSoC core, digital system, analog system, system resources, and power peripherals, which include power FETs, hysteretic controllers, current sense amplifiers, and PrISM/PWM modulators. Configurable global busing combines all the device resources into a complete custom system. The PowerPSoC family of devices have 10-port I/Os that connect to the global digital and analog interconnects, providing access to eight digital blocks and six analog blocks.

带DMX-512接口的MR16灯参考设计

This document demonstrates the use of PowerPSoC to design small form factor fixtures such as MR-16 lamps with DMX-512 interface. It outlines the architecture of the fixture and the LED driver board reference design, followed by its bring up and operation procedure. Code examples to implement color mixing for multicolor lamps and tunable white light systems are also provided.

Cypress has developed a compact LED driver solution for use in an MR16 fixture. The controller board uses the PowerPSoC device for lighting control and DMX-512 communication

Light output of LEDs is controlled by the current flowing through them. By controlling the current in the four channels, you can achieve a desired color at the desired intensity. Alternatively, the LEDs are driven with a constant current. You can modulate the time during which the current is driven to achieve a desired color. This function of the solution is implemented by PowerPSoC.

This solution incorporates DMX control, which enables you to network several fixtures, and at the same time, maintain individual control for each fixture. It provides the flexibility to connect a maximum of 85 fixtures in a network through the DMX512 communication protocol, when 6 slots are used per fixture. The fixture has four colors of LEDs: Red, Green, Blue, and Amber (RGBA). If three slots of control per fixture are used, which is similar to the tunable white light firmware variant, you can connect up to 170 fixtures.

The document describes a standard MR16 lamp with integrated LED driver. It gives an overview of the PowerPSoC family of controllers, specifications of the device used in this solution and a brief introduction to the DMX-512 communication protocol.

The hardware, firmware details of the solution are explained in later sections
 
The MR16 fixture is a lighting industry standard format that has a small form factor. The fixture discussed in this application note has a RGBA LED emitter board (that forms the primary light source) and a heat sink connected to a cooler device. The fixture requires the heat sink to remove the heat generated by LEDs. The cooler on the MR16 fixture is a forced air type of cooler and removes heat from the heat sink by blowing ‘micro’ jets of air. A driver board mounted on the cooler powers it.
