Product details
Overview
STEVAL-ILL060V1 from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade LED array driver evaluation board built around the STAP16DPPS05 16-bit constant-current LED sink driver and STM8A microcontroller. It operates from 6–24 VDC, supports open/short-circuit diagnostics via 12 configurable jumpers, and drives 32 white PLCC-4 LEDs with preloaded visual patterns (rolling text, wave effect, dot sequence) in standalone or GUI-controlled mode.
For engineers reviewing the STEVAL-ILL060V1 datasheet, STEVAL-ILL060V1 pinout, STEVAL-ILL060V1 application, or STEVAL-ILL060V1 equivalent, this board serves as a validated reference for LIN-connected LED lighting control, fault simulation, and SPI-based LED driver configuration in automotive cabin and exterior lighting systems.
Technical Context
The board integrates three core functional blocks: an A5974D automotive-grade DC-DC converter generating stable 4.5 V for MCU and logic; the STM8A microcontroller executing pattern generation and diagnostic routines via SPI to the STAP16DPPS05; and the STAP16DPPS05 itself, providing 16-channel, 50 mA per channel constant-current sinking with thermal shutdown and open/short detection.
Diagnostic capability is implemented through 8 open-circuit and 4 short-circuit simulation jumpers, enabling hardware-level fault injection. Communication interfaces include SWIM for STM8A programming/debugging, LIN connector for vehicle network integration, and USB-UART bridge for GUI-based frame programming and brightness/speed adjustment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Power Input | 6–24 VDC with reverse voltage, short-circuit, and surge protection - enables direct connection to automotive battery rails without external conditioning. |
| LED Driver IC | STAP16DPPS05: 16-channel, 50 mA/channel constant-current sink with integrated open/short diagnostics - ensures reliable current delivery and real-time fault reporting. |
| Microcontroller | STM8A automotive-grade 8-bit MCU with SPI interface - handles pattern sequencing, LIN protocol stack, and jumper-based fault simulation logic. |
| LED Array | 32 white PLCC-4 LEDs arranged in 2×16 matrix - provides high-brightness visual output for cabin lighting, status indication, and dynamic UI prototyping. |
| Diagnostic Jumpers | 8 open-circuit + 4 short-circuit simulation jumpers - allows deterministic validation of STAP16DPPS05's fault detection circuitry under controlled lab conditions. |
| Communication Interfaces | SWIM (STM8A debug), LIN header, USB-UART bridge - supports firmware development, vehicle bus integration, and GUI-based parameter tuning. |

FAQ
What software tools are required to configure STEVAL-ILL060V1?
The board uses ST's dedicated GUI application for frame programming and pattern control, compatible with Windows and communicating via the onboard USB-UART bridge. STM8A firmware can be updated using ST Visual Develop (STVD) or STVP with SWIM interface support. No third-party IDEs or drivers are needed beyond ST's official toolchain.
Does STEVAL-ILL060V1 support LIN 2.2A or higher protocol versions?
Yes - the board includes a dedicated LIN connector wired to the STM8A's UART peripheral, and its firmware implements LIN 2.2A-compliant slave node behavior including identifier-based frame handling, checksum verification, and sleep/wake-up signaling per ISO 17987-4.
Can the 32-LED array be reconfigured for custom layouts or different LED types?
No - the 32 PLCC-4 white LEDs are soldered in a fixed 2×16 grid with shared current paths and thermal layout optimized for the STAP16DPPS05's channel mapping. External LED substitution is not supported due to trace impedance, thermal pad design, and driver channel assignment constraints.
Is hardware-level open-circuit fault simulation validated against STAP16DPPS05's internal detection logic?
Yes - each of the 8 OPEN_x_y jumpers directly disconnects one STAP16DPPS05 output channel from its LED load, triggering the device's internal open-load detection flag. This signal is read by the STM8A and reported via GUI or serial output, matching the datasheet-specified detection threshold and response time.
