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.

Data brief
When developers are ready to create their own
applications, the kit serves as a reference design
for a DALI gateway topology.
