 Hardware User Guide of DALI 2.0 Slave on ATtiny817

1. Overview
®
The DALI 2.0 Slave on the ATtiny817 board is intended to demonstrate the ATtiny817 tinyAVR 8-bit
microcontroller.

1.1 System Overview

Figure 1-1. Overview of the DALI 2.0 Slave on the ATtiny817 Board

Figure 1-2. System Block Diagram

1.2 DALI Interface

DALI Interface circuit handles the communication between the MCU and the DALI bus.
Following the DALI protocol, the DALI bus carries a differential signal, the DALI interface circuit transfer
the communication between the MCU and DALI bus.

© 2017 Microchip Technology Inc. User Guide DS50002631A-page 3

 Hardware User Guide of DALI 2.0 Slave on ATtiny817
The DALI bus is differential pair, to avoid the risk of sharing common ground, the DALI interface circuit is
isolated with the MCU part via two optocouplers. The repetitive peak isolation voltage of these two
optocouplers reached 890V as described in datasheet.
For decoding, the DALI interface uses constant current source to provide a stable power supply for the
comparator MIC834. As its internal stable reference, the output of comparator depends on the regular
input. The output signal drives the optocoupler to transfer the signal to the MCU. For coding, the MCU
drives the optocoupler directly to get the DALI bus modulated via a MOSFET.
All components on the board are designed with a high reliable consideration, which makes the system
working stable within the temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.

2. User Interfaces
The on-board interfaces for the user include USB power supply socket, DALI bus connector, and UPDI
header. The Status LEDs and the Lighting LED can be used for indicating.
There are some parts reserved and not mounted, including the ISP/SPI header and the Button.

2.1 USB Power Supply

The USB only acts as a 5 VDC power supply for the board, no data communication on the cable. The 5
VDC supply the MCU and the system directly.
Table 2-1. Pin Definition of the USB Socket

Pin Name Connection

1 Vbus 5V power supply
2 D- NC
3 D+ NC
4 ID NC
5 GND GND

The USB power supply requires the standard power with voltage tolerance from 4.85V to 5.25V. The
power consumption of the board is quite low for the USB port. Any USB port with 100 mA or higher output
capability can power the board.
The USB socket supports the micro-USB cable only. The connection is shown in the figure below.
Figure 2-1. USB Power Supply to the Board

Figure 2-2. Schematic of the USB Socket

2.2 DALI Bus Connector

The DALI Bus connector is dedicated for the DALI bus.
The DALI bus is a pair of cables, which can connect the DALI Master and all DALI Slaves. Since the DALI
bus carries the differential signal, the users need not to take care of the polarity of the connection.
Strip the DALI bus cable in both ends first. Push the socket header on the top, then insert the cable to the
hole, and release the header. The cable will be locked in the socket.
The accomplished figure should look like the figure below.
Figure 2-3. The DALI Bus Connector

2.3 UPDI Header

The UPDI header is dedicated for the user to reprogram the ATtiny817. It is a 1.27 mm pitch 10-pin
header, which can be directly connected to the Atmel-ICE.
®
Note: For Atmel-ICE, use the AVR port to connect it.

2.4 Status LEDs

There are two LEDs mounted on the board, one green and the other red, combined in one single
component. Both can be used as the status indication.
The green LED is defined as the power supply in the default firmware. The users can use it freely in their
own applications.

2.5 Lighting LED

The Lighting LED is an output of the DALI Slave. It is driven by a PWM signal generated by the
ATtiny817. The brightness of the Lighting LED can be changed upon the duty of the PWM signal. The
drive pin of ATtiny817 is PA5.
The DALI system is widely used in the lighting system. The Lighting LED can be regarded as a lighting
target device. While working together with the DALI Master, the user can easily get a control feedback
from the brightness change of the Lighting LED.

2.6 ISP/SPI Header

The ISP/SPI Header is not mounted by default on the board. It is open for the user to mount manually. A
standard 6-pin 2.54 mm pitch header is needed for mounting. The header can be used as a standard
ISP/SPI extension for other modules/boards. The pin definition is shown in the table below.

2.7 Button
A button is designed for the board, but is not functional and not mounted by default on this board. It is
open for the user to use it freely.
The button connects on the PC5 pin of ATtiny817.

3. Firmware
A default firmware is pre-programmed in the ATtiny817 microcontroller. It fully follows the standard DALI
2.0 protocol. The firmware can also be updated or re-programmed via the UPDI interface.

3.1 Firmware Programming

The hex of default code is available in the attached package for re-programming. Both Flash and Fuse
needs be programmed, as the setting shown in figure below.

4. System Setup
To build the DALI system, a DALI Master and a DALI Bus Power Supply are needed. The system should
be set up as the figure below.
Figure 4-1. DALI System Setup

Note: The DALI Master Kit illustrated above can be treated as an example, assume it already contains
the DALI bus power supply, while the 16 VDC adapter is the power supplier of the DALI bus.

4.1 DALI Master

To build a full DALI system, a DALI Master and DALI bus power supply are needed.
Any DALI Master which follows the DALI 2.0 protocol can handle the work.

4.2 System Control

Under the control of the DALI Master, the DALI Slave should have seen changes via the onboard Lighting
LED according to the control commands from DALI Master. For example, if the broadcast command
'Maximum level' is sent, the Lighting LED should be turned ON and display the maximum brightness.
While the command 'OFF' is sent, the DALI Slave's Lighting LED should be turned OFF immediately.
