Evaluation Kit Supports Cree XLamp LEDs

Promising to simplify the design of RGB-based white lighting LED systems with Cree XLamp LEDs, a combination of the company’s PSoC Designer 5.0 visual design software and the CY3265C-RGB evaluation kit allows designers to input the selected XLamp device, choose bin specifications via drop-down menus, and select white light temperature and color points for optimal reproduction of any type of desired light output. The process does not require writing a single line of firmware. The package integrates XLamp device specifications and temperature characteristics into the content library of PSoC Designer 5.0 software, which also supports the company’s EZ-Color LED controllers. The CY3265C-RGB evaluation kit comes with a daughter card supporting XLamp LEDs and includes a MiniProg, 5V LCD, USB cable, plus a CD with PSoC Designer 5.0, Gerber files, and schematics.
