Scope an Intro uction
This document provides an outline design, specifications and user manual for the Plessey
Data-Vμ™ microLED Evaluation Kit PD01000. The kit contains a microLED display with driver
and control board.
Description
The Plessey Data-Vμ™ microLED Evaluation Kit contains components for the user to
evaluate the Plessey Data-Vμ™ microLED display. The kit can be used standalone to
demonstrate the intensity of the display, or with a computer to evaluate the display
technology in more depth. The display can be integrated into existing optical systems to
evaluate the benefits of Plessey’s Data-Vμ™ microLED displays.

Evaluation Kit Contents
The PD01000 evaluation kit consists the following (contained within a card box):
•PD01001 (driver board assembly)
•PD01002 (green display module)
•Base module board
•Bluetooth Module (HC-06)
•USB battery
•USB Type-A to Micro-B Cable
•USB Memory Stick
•Printed Quick Start Guide
The PD01001 Driver and Connector set consists of the component populated driver board,
assembled to the display (PD01002) using a Samtec interposer connector board using
screws and alignment pins. The PD01002 display is a PPS 138 green display with normal
orientation on an FR board. The driver board is supplied with Data-Vμ™ firmware which
allows a command line interface over UART/USB.
The PD01001 and PD01002 are supplied assembled, plugged into the PPS 1 base module
(which can be powered by the supplied USB).
Safety an Safe Operation
Operating the isplay on high brightness settings can cause eye amage. When increasing
the brightness o not look irectly at the light source. Do not stare at the light source.
Direct the isplay away from the eyes, e.g. towar a piece of car .

Driver Boar
Description
Refer to Appendix A for the driver board schematic. The driver board is based around an
ATMega328 microcontroller and is compatible with the Arduino Integrated Design
Environment (IDE). The driver generates a programmable voltage source for the common
anode of the Data-Vμ™ microLED display.
The driver board voltage source is generated from the ATMega328 and is buffered through
an Op-Amp, NMOS voltage follower and can be programmed anywhere between 0V to VDD
(norm 5V).
The symbols can then be individually turned on by switching an NMOS to ground. There is
an array of 2 dual NMOS transistors to allow up to 8 symbols to be dimmed
independently. The gates of the NMOS array is controlled by two LT8500 PWM chips. These
chips have 8 individually controllable PWM channels with 12 bit resolution. The PWM is
supplied a 2MHz clock generated by the ATMega328, resulting in a PWM frequency of
2MHz/ 095 = 88Hz.
The LT8500 ICs also allow a duty cycle correction to be applied to each channel. This is a 6
bit correction which allows a duty cycle variation of 0.5x – 1.5x. Refer to the LT8500
datasheet for more information on calculating the calibration values
(https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/LT8500.pdf)
The ATMega328 can be connected by UART over USB using the driver board’s FTDI chip.
Reprogramming over USB is supported by the bootloader present on the ATMega328. Only
one UART port is present on the ATMega328 and is shared by direct UART connection and
via the FTDI for USB connection; communicate by UART or USB, the ATMega328 cannot
communicate with both simultaneously.
To measure the current of the display measure the voltage drop across R1 , the 1 Ohm (+/-
0.25%) current sense resistor. This can be accessed from the VDEV, VCOM pins. The display
can be driven with an external power supply if required – connect an external power supply
to VCOM and de-solder the current sense resistor R1 . The current sense resistor may be
bypassed using a zero Ohm resistor in R1 position or by shorting resistor R13.
The driver board is connected to the display using a Samtec Z-Ray. This consists of an
interposer and a pair of screws and alignment pins.
