Introduction
The Texas Instruments LM36922EVM evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation
and performance of the LM36922 Highly Efficient Dual-String White LED driver. The device offers
configurability via I2C-compatible interface. The module can be easily configured to support 1, or 2 parallel
LED strings with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 series LEDs.
The EVM contains one LED Backlight Driver (See Table 1).

Setup
This section describes the jumpers and connectors on the EVM as well as how to properly connect, set
up, and use the LM36922EVM.
2.1
Input/Output Connector Description
VL / GND - These are the power input terminals for the driver. The terminal block provides a power (VIN)
and ground (GND) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a cable harness.
VUSB VIO VL - This pin provides power for the I2C and HWEN pullup resistors (RSCL, RSDA, RHWEN).
It is recommended that this pin is connected to the VIN pin. If desired, it can be connected to the
USB2ANY 3.3-V line provided by the USB interface connector. When VIO is connected to VIN
communication via the I2C interface may not be possible if the supply voltage to the LED driver is below
approximately 3 V.

Figure 1. VIO Jumper Settings
SDA SCL - These connections allow the user to externally control the I2C lines. For independent control of
the I2C lines, do not connect the VIO jumper to either the 3.3 V or the VIN pin.
HWEN - This is the jumper used to enable the LED driver (HWEN pin). The driver will be enabled when
the HWEN pin is high (VIO) and disabled when it is low (GND).
VL VIN - The user can measure the Backlight Driver Input Current by omitting this jumper and inserting a
current meter between pins 1 (VIN) and 2 (VL).

BL_ADJ - This pin provides a method for connecting either the USB2ANY or an external signal to the
BL_ADJ input. The BL_ADJ pin is connected to ground via a 4.7-kΩ resistor (RBL_ADJ). The
LM36922EVM GUI provides a method for controlling BL_ADJ when a jumper is inserted between
connector pins 1 and 2. When connecting an external signal remove the jumper between pins 1 and 2 and
connect the signal generator to pin 1 and GND.
PWM - This pin provides a method for connecting either the USB2ANY or an external signal generator to
the PWM input. The PWM pin is connected to ground via a 4.7-kΩ resistor (RPWM). The LM36922EVM
GUI provides a method for generating a PWM signal when a jumper is placed between connector pins 1
and 2. When connecting an external signal generator remove the jumper between pins 1 and 2 and
connect the signal generator to pin 1 and GND.
OUT - This connector provides a way to disconnect the output voltage to each LED string and access to
the regulated output of the driver. The user can measure VOUT with reference to GND while connecting
and disconnecting the LED strings.

ILED1, ILED2 -The LM36922EVM provides a way to accurately measure the LED current through each
LED string on board. Resistors RL1 and RL2 (10 Ω) are placed between the cathode of last LED in each
respective string and the LM36922 Current Sink Output.
2.2
Setup
The input voltage range for the backlight driver is 2.5 volts to 5.5 volts. The on-board LEDs or an LED
module should be connected for proper operation.
2.3
Operation
For proper operation of the LM36922EVM, the jumpers should be properly configured. The recommended
setting, using shorting blocks is:
VIO to VIN: install jumper between pins 2 and 3
VL to VIN: jumper installed
OUT to LED+: install jumper between pins 2 and 3.
PWM from USB2ANY: jumper installed

In this configuration, the device will power up when power is applied.

Board Layout
Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8 show the board layout for the LM36922EVM. The EVM offers
resistors, capacitors, and jumpers to enable the device and to configure it as desired.
The LM36922 will dissipate power, especially during high brightness maintained for a long duration. Power
will also be dissipated on the series LEDs in each LED strings. The EVM layout is designed to minimize
temperature rise during operation, however prolonged usage at high brightness should be avoided.

USB Interface Board and I2C-Compatible Interface Program
USB Interface Board and I2C-Compatible Interface Program
Texas Instruments has created an I2C-compatible program and USB docking board (USB2ANY) that can
help exercise the part in a simple way. Contained in this document is a description of how to use the
USB2ANY interface box and interface software.
The LM36922EVM has the means to “plug into” the USB docking board. The USB docking board provides
all the control signals for the simple interface. Power to the part must be provided externally. A USB cable
(provided) must be connected to the board from a PC.
The I2C-compatible interface program provides all of the control that the LM36922 part requires. For
proper operation, the USB docking board should be plugged into the PC before the interface program is
opened. Once connected, and the program is executed, a basic interface window will open. The image
below shows the default settings.

The “I2C Interface” fields may be used to write or read any LM36922 register. Selecting the "Reset" button
resets all registers to their default values and updates all GUI fields.

User Interface
the LM36922 GUI provides the user with access to all of the registers found on the device. Through a
combination of buttons, drop-down boxes and sliders, the user can configure the LM36922 to perform in
the desired mode. Please note that no data is written to the device until the Write button found within the
corresponding register is pressed, the one exception to this is the Auto Write Content slider.

I/O Pin Controls
The LM36922EVM provides the user with the capability to control the PWM input without the need of an
external source. The PWM signal will be low until the "Activate PWM" button is clicked or whenever the
"Duty Cycle Adjust" value is set to 0. In order to change the PWM duty cycle the user needs to type the
desired duty cycle in the "Duty Cycle Adjust" box then click the "Update Duty" button.
