Product details

Overview

STEVAL-ILL048V1 from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel automotive LED driver demonstration board based on the ALED6001 boost controller and STM32F103C6T6 microcontroller, supporting 6–24 V DC input, up to 350 mA programmable LED current, 60 V max output (16 white LEDs), and dual PWM/analog dimming for daytime running lights (DTRL) and front lighting systems.

For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-ILL048V1 datasheet, STEVAL-ILL048V1 pinout, STEVAL-ILL048V1 application, or STEVAL-ILL048V1 equivalent, this board enables rapid evaluation of ALED6001's adaptive boost regulation, high-side current sensing, external dimming MOSFET drive, synchronization locking, and integrated OVP/OCP/thermal protection in automotive LED lighting designs.

Technical Context

The board implements a synchronous boost topology with adaptive output voltage control-dynamically adjusting V_OUT to match LED string forward voltage-minimizing power loss and achieving up to 92% efficiency. The ALED6001 integrates dedicated circuitry for high-side current sensing, external dimming FET gate drive, and synchronization input (SYNC) to coordinate switching across multiple boards and reduce EMI.

On-board STM32F103C6T6 provides USB-based host interface via CDC virtual COM port, enabling real-time configuration of LED current, dimming mode (PWM or analog), and fault response through ST's dedicated PC GUI. All protection features-including LED open-circuit, feedback disconnection, overvoltage, overcurrent, and thermal shutdown-are actively monitored and reported.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Input Voltage Range	6 V to 24 V DC - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (6 V) and load-dump (24 V) conditions.
Max LED Current	350 mA - programmable via MCU, sufficient for medium-power DTRL and position lamp strings.
Boost Output Voltage	Up to 60 V - drives up to 16串联 white LEDs (3.75 V avg VF) with headroom for temperature drift.
Dimming Methods	PWM and analog - independent control paths; analog dimming avoids audible noise, PWM enables precise low-light resolution.
Efficiency	Up to 92% - achieved via adaptive output regulation and synchronous rectification in boost stage.
Protection Features	OVP, OCP, thermal shutdown, LED open/short detection, feedback disconnection - all hardware-asserted with flag reporting to MCU.
Interface	USB 2.0 (CDC class) - no drivers required on Windows; enables parameter read/write and fault log retrieval via GUI.

FAQ

Does STEVAL-ILL048V1 support CAN or LIN communication?

No. The board communicates exclusively via USB 2.0 CDC virtual COM port. It does not include CAN/LIN transceivers or physical layer circuitry. Communication is limited to PC-hosted GUI control and status reporting; no vehicle network interface is implemented.

Can the ALED6001 on this board drive RGB LED strings?

No. The ALED6001 is a single-channel constant-current driver optimized for monochrome high-brightness LED strings. It lacks independent channel control, color mixing logic, or multi-channel PWM generators required for RGB operation.

Is external cooling required for continuous 350 mA operation?

Yes. At 350 mA with 60 V output and 24 V input, thermal dissipation exceeds 4 W. The board includes thermal pads and copper pour but requires forced air or heatsink mounting for sustained operation above 200 mA in enclosed environments.

What firmware version ships with STEVAL-ILL048V1?

The board ships with pre-flashed firmware v2.1 (matching DocID024269 Rev 2), supporting all documented GUI functions: LED current setpoint (50–350 mA), dimming mode selection, SYNC enable/disable, and fault reset. Firmware updates are delivered via ST's official GUI installer.
