LED-Based Wake-Up Circuit for Microcontrollers

Abstract: This paper proposes, analyzes, and tests a wake-up circuit for a microcontroller (MCU) that uses a LED, operating as a photodetector, illuminated by a smartphone flashlight. The wake-up circuit consists of a high-pass filter and a voltage level translator that interfaces the LED, with a suitable resistor in parallel, to the MCU. When illuminated by a switching flashlight, the LED generates a square voltage that is conveniently converted in logic levels at the output of the wake-up circuit. A firmware embedded … Show more

“…The communication protocol was out of the scope of this research and thus a simple FAC was implemented, but communication protocols as OpenVLC1.0 could be used. Source [202] In the literature, the approach 2) consisted of a circuit that, based on an algorithm executed in the MCU, adaptively adds an offset based on the ambient light. In this work, a novel method was implemented instead.…”
