Introduction
The LM3532 Evaluation Board is designed to fully evaluate the LM3532 Triple Output, White LED Driver
with I2C-Compatible Interface. For a detailed description of the LM3532 refer to the LM3532 datasheet.
The board comes equipped with 3 series strings of 10 white LEDs. Additionally there are two ambient light
sensors (Avago APDS-9005) which feed into the LM3532’s ambient light sensor inputs (ALS1 and ALS2).
Each Input and/or output from the LM3532 has its own separate header pin to serve as a test-point.
Figure 1 shows the schematic of the Evaluation Board.

LM3532 Board Set-up

LM3532 Board Set-up
To operate the LM3532 Evaluation Board connect a jumper across the (VIN VL) header, a jumper at the
(3.3V VPU VL) header, and a jumper at the VOUT header. The board should come with these jumpers
already installed. The jumper at (VIN VL) connects the supply at VL to the IN pin of the device. The
jumper at (3.3V VPU VL) connects the on-board pull-up resistors at SDA, SCL, HWEN, and INT to the
center pin (VPU). VPU can be connected to either the supply at VL or the regulated 3.3V supply from the
USB2ANY board. The jumper at VOUT will connect the output of the LM3532's boost converter to the LED
string anodes. Once all the jumpers are in place, connect a 2.5V to 5.5V supply at the VL and GND
banana plugs.
5
USB2ANY Interface board
The LM3532 Evaluation Board can be controlled directly by connecting an I2C master to the SCL and SDA
headers, or through the USB2ANY interface board. The USB2ANY board is designed to interface the
LM3532 Eval Board to a PC which runs the LM3532 GUI.exe software. The LM3532 GUI.exe program
needs to have the two .dll files (USB2ANY_API.dll and HID_API.dll) copied to the same folder which
contains the LM3532 GUI.exe program. Once the LM3532 Evaluation Board has power applied, plug the
USB2ANY into the bottom side connector with the included ribbon cable, then open the LM3532 GUI.exe
program.
6
LM3532 GUI.exe (Graphical User Interface)
The LM3532 graphical user interface program (LM3532 GUI.exe) provides an easy method to
demonstrate all the features within the LM3532. The program is divided into 6 separate tabbed sections: a
Configuration Tab, a separate tab for each Control Bank (A, B, C), an Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) Tab,
and a Demo Tab which provides controls to drive the PWM inputs via the USB2ANY's PWM output
channels. Writing to the device happens automatically when any of the pull-down menu's are selected, or
when a button is pushed.
7
LM3532 Configuration Tab
The Configuration Tab (Figure 6) contains the global registers for the LM3532 that control the current sink
assignments, the enable registers, the feedback enable/disable, and the ramp rates. There is also a field
for direct read and writes to the I2C registers. Additionally there is a Default button which when pushed,
places the LM3532 GUI.exe in the default state and writes all the LM3532 registers to their default (poweron reset) state. Table 1 through Table 5 describe these registers in detail.

ALS Control Tab
The ALS Control Tab (Figure 8) contains all the registers that are programmable for the LM3532's
Ambient Light Sensor Interface. Table 9 through Table 12 describe these registers. The evaluation board
has two on board light sensors (ADPS-9005 from Avago). These connect directly to the LM3532's ALS1
and ALS2 inputs. The APDS-9005 requires a minimum of 1V saturation voltage for proper operation and
has a typical response of 400nA/lux. For example, for detecting 0 to 2k Lux across the LM3532's 2V ALS
input voltage range would require the APDS9005 be biased from a 3V minimum supply (supplied at the
VALS header on the board), with an ALS load resistor of 2V/(2k Lux x 400nA/Lux) = 2.5kOhms. This
corresponds to an ALS resistor Select Register code of 0x0F for register 0x20 (ALS1) or 0x0F for register
0x21 (ALS2).

ADC and ADC Average Readback (0x27, 0x28)
Both the ADC readback and ADC average readback are read-only registers that read the contents at the
output of the LM3532's ADC. The ADC readback is the 8-bit data which is sampled at 7.142 ksps and
updated every 154 µs. The ADC average readback is the 8-bit value from the ADC Readback Register
which is averaged over the programmed ALS Average Time. Once either the ADC Read or ADC Average
Read button is pushed, the appropriate field gets updated with the data.

Demo Tab
The Demo tab (Figure 9) provides the controls for activating the USB2ANY's PWM outputs which are then
applied to the LM3532's PWM inputs. PWM1 and PWM2 correspond to the LM3532's PWM1 and PWM2
inputs. The field (PWM Duty Cycle (%)) is the duty cycle input from the user in steps of 0.1%. Once a new
duty cycle is entered and the Update button is pressed, the duty cycle output from the USB2ANY board is
changed.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
