1300 Henley Court Pullman, WA 99163 509.334.6306 www.digilentinc.com Pmod8LD Reference Manual Revised April 15, 2016 This manual applies to the Pmod8LD rev. B Overview The Digilent Pmod8LD has eight high-bright LEDs that are driven by logic-level transistors so that each LED can be individually illuminated from a logic high signal. Features include: Eight high brightness green LEDs BJTs for low-power logic level control Small PCB size for flexible designs 1.1 in 0.8 in (2.8 cm 2.0 cm) 26-pin Pmod port with GPIO interface The Pmod8LD. 1 Functional Description The Pmod8LD utilizes individual transistors so that each LED can be turned on or off independently. In order to active an LED, the associated pin on the pin header must receive about 1mA of current. 2 Interfacing with the Pmod The Pmod8LD communicates with the host board via GPIO pins. Correspondingly, to turn a particular LED on, the pin must be driven to a logic high state and driven to a logic low state to turn a LED off. With the parallel arrangement of these LEDs it is possible to turn on (or off) multiple LEDs simultaneously. A pin description and diagram are provided below. Copyright Digilent, Inc.
