Product details
Overview
STEVAL-ILL003V1 from STMicroelectronics is an evaluation board for driving a 32-LED high-brightness matrix using the STP16CP596 constant-current LED driver and L5970D DC/DC converter, operating from 5 V to 35 V input, with adjustable brightness, animated text display, and multiple blinking modes.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-ILL003V1 datasheet, STEVAL-ILL003V1 pinout, STEVAL-ILL003V1 application, or STEVAL-ILL003V1 equivalent, this board enables rapid validation of LED matrix control architecture, current regulation accuracy across 16-channel outputs, PWM-based dimming implementation, and wide-input DC/DC conversion efficiency in signage and indicator systems.
Technical Context
The board integrates the STP16CP596 16-channel constant-current sink driver (30 mA per channel, 15 V max output voltage) controlled by an ST7LITE09 8-bit microcontroller, which manages animation sequencing, brightness via PWM, and mode selection through two potentiometers and a push-button switch.
Power conversion is handled by the L5970D step-down regulator (4.5–36 V input, 3.3 V @ 1 A output), supplemented by an L78L33 linear regulator for MCU supply and STPS340U Schottky diode for reverse-polarity protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| LED Count | 32 high-brightness LEDs arranged in 2×16 matrix, driven by dual STP16CP596 ICs |
| Input Voltage Range | 5 V to 35 V DC - supports industrial and automotive battery-supplied applications |
| Constant Current per Channel | 30 mA ±3% - ensures uniform LED brightness and color consistency across all outputs |
| Brightness Control | Analog-adjustable via 10 kΩ potentiometer feeding PWM duty cycle to ST7LITE09 |
| DC/DC Output | 3.3 V @ 1 A from L5970D - powers logic circuitry with >85% typical efficiency at 12 V input |
| Animation Modes | Multiple preprogrammed blinking patterns (on/off, chase, scroll) selectable via S1 switch |
Availability

Manufacturer
STMicroelectronics is a global semiconductor leader headquartered in Geneva, designing and manufacturing microcontrollers, power ICs, sensors, and analog/mixed-signal devices for industrial, automotive, and consumer markets.
This board belongs to ST's STEVAL (ST Evaluation) series, developed specifically to demonstrate real-world implementation of ST's LED drivers, DC/DC converters, and microcontrollers in cost-sensitive, high-reliability illumination applications.
FAQ
Is STEVAL-ILL003V1 still in active production?
No - STEVAL-ILL003V1 is marked as Obsolete in ST's official documentation (Rev 1, November 2007). It remains available through authorized legacy distributors and Aetrix Electronics' extended-life inventory program with full schematic, BOM, and functional validation data.
Can the LED matrix be expanded beyond 32 elements?
The board's hardware supports only two STP16CP596 drivers (32 channels total); expansion would require redesigning PCB routing, adding driver ICs, reconfiguring ST7LITE09 firmware for additional SDI/CLK daisy-chaining, and verifying thermal limits on the L5970D under higher load.
What firmware controls the animation sequences?
The ST7LITE09 microcontroller executes factory-programmed firmware that reads S1 switch state and potentiometer voltage to select among six built-in modes (steady-on, slow/fast blink, left/right scroll, chase), with timing derived from internal RC oscillator calibrated to ±5%.
Does the board include ESD or surge protection for the LED outputs?
No dedicated TVS or ESD protection is present on the LED output traces; the STP16CP596 provides only internal open-load detection and thermal shutdown. External transient suppression must be added for field-deployed applications exposed to IEC 61000-4-5 surges or handling environments.
