Description

The ST7DALI-EVAL evaluation kit provides a

complete evaluation and demonstration platform

for the on-chip lighting control features of the

ST7DALI device.

The ST7DALI devices integrate the DALI

Communication Module (DCM) for serial

communication with controllable electronic

ballasts, which provide the required starting

voltage and operating current for fluorescent,

mercury and other electric-discharge lamps.

The DCM uses IEC standard DALI (Digital

Addressable Lighting Interface) communications

(based on the bi-phase Manchester

asynchronous serial data format).

To help developers implement the ST7DALI to

control lighting networks, the ST7DALI-EVAL

provides a complete software/hardware

application for networking up to 64 ST7DALI-

based lighting control slave boards and testing

the various DALI lighting control commands from

an easy-to-use, PC-based software interface.

When developers are ready to create their own

applications, the kit serves as a reference design

for a DALI gateway topology.
