Application description

The hardware combination (STM8L1526-EVAL + STEVAL-ILM001V1) works as a DALI

slave device. The LD1 on the STM8L1526-EVAL kit is used as a light source. Its brightness,

fade-in/out times, etc., as defined by the DALI standard, can be controlled through DALI to

simulate normal lamp behavior.

The STEVAL-ILM001V1 provides all the functions required by the DALI standards. The

most important ones are:

•

Level translation from DALI voltage levels (-6.5 to 22.5 V) to microcontroller levels (3.3

V / 5 V logic)

•

Proper rise/fall times for the communication

•

Current consumption limit (2 mA max.)

•

Overvoltage protection for misconnection of rated mains voltage to DALI DA

connectors.
