Innovative HBLED solutions are rapidly gaining popularity in low-cost applications
that require an extremely cost-effective bill-of-materials. However, low-end HBLED
applications still require a high level of system control as well as high constant-current to
maintain color integrity and high light output.
Freescale’s general-purpose ultra-low-end KA2 8-bit MCU offers an economical solution for this application. The on-chip analog comparator is designed to provide an accurate current measurement, which allows feedback control to maintain a constant level in the LED forward current.
MC9RS08KA2 Controlled High-Brightness LED
The MC9RS08KA2 Series microcontroller unit (MCU) is an extremely low-cost, small pin count device for home appliances, toys, and small geometry applications. This device is composed of standard on-chip modules including, a very small and highly efficient RS08 CPU core, 63 bytes RAM, 2K bytes Flash, an 8-bit modulo timer, keyboard interrupt, and analog comparator. The device is available in small 6- and 8-pin packages.

KA2 HBLED Demo
Freescale demonstrates its ability to control the HBLED with a KA2 demo unit based on
a buck topology switching power supply.
This maximizes energy transfer between the battery and the HBLED. The KA2 microcontroller is used to measure the current through its on-chip analog comparator, then uses that feedback to control luminosity intensity on the LED. The user can toggle
between two MCU-controlled potential divider settings to vary the LED brightness levels. The demo unit also includes an open-source BDM interface for easy firmware evaluation.
