Free light-sensing reference design boards at Embedded World
The Flower Power reference design board will be demonstrated live at the show and will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the San Francisco Summer of Love. It has a five-petal flower outline and features five RGB LEDs on the front. Signals from an Intersil ambient light sensor are used to control the brightness of the LEDs. The flower board also features a Microchip ATmega328P picoPower 8-bit AVR microcontroller programmed to play five songs while the LED lights flash in random patterns. The flower board is powered by two CR2032 Energizer coin cell batteries, it displays a light pattern to alert the user when the batteries’ state of charge is low and automatically enters power-saving mode. It comes with a suction cup hanger.
The board features multiple Intersil parts including the ISL85005 5A synchronous buck regulator, the ISL29102 ambient light-to-voltage non-linear converter, the ISL21080 300nA NanoPower voltage reference and the ISL28915 NanoPower push/pull output comparator.
