Description of STLUX385A examples kit

Introduction

This user manual provides complete information for SW developers about a set of guide

examples useful to get familiar developing applications for the STLUX385A digital controller

and its peripherals.

The heart of the STLUX is the SMED (“State Machine Event Driven”) technology which

allows the device to operate several independently configurable PWM clocks with up to

1.3 ns resolution. An SMED is a powerful autonomous state machine which is programmed

to react to both external and internal events and may evolve without any software

intervention. The examples provided by this document will help you to understand the

SMEDs and how to program them in your applications. All the examples have been

developed and tested on an STEVAL-ILL068V1 evaluation board.

SMEDs are configured and programmed via the STLUX internal low-power microcontroller

(STM8). This manual describes the whole set of examples provided in this kit.
