Wireless Remote Control RGB LED Design Kit - TPS62260LED, Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments (TI) introduced the TPS62260LED, a new RGB LED (Light Emitting Diode) Design Kit. This
LED driver
design kit, along with TI’s eZ430-RF2500 development tool, provides a
platform to design color lighting innovations, including a wireless RF remote
control system.

TPS62260LED board
controls the color and brightness of a lamp or runs an automatic color light
animation program. Developers create color with three (red, green and blue) high-brightness
LEDs. An MSP430F2131 microcontroller controls the brightness of each LED with
constant current generated by three TPS62260 LED drivers.

By using eZ430-RF2500 development tool, developers can utilize wireless communication
(plugs on TPS62260LED board), allowing to create a lighting network of RF
remote-controlled
lamps. Utilization of RF remote control allows for better management of LED
lamp-lighting intensity and color. With  RF remote control, the need for
additional infrastructure to control the lamp is eliminated.
