The device offers configurability via I2C-compatible interface. The EVM contains six dual-LED and a single LED per string which can be easily configured to support 1, 2 or 3 parallel LED strings with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 or 13 series LEDs. Notes: 1) Not all combinations of VIN, LED strings and Number of Series LEDs are supported by the LM36923H. Refer to the data sheet to ensure the proper configuration. 2) The dual-LED are very bright, they are not diffused and are capable of ~21 lumens per package. Appropriate LED light diffusion or eye protection must be provided by the user. The EVM contains one LED Backlight Driver (See Table 1). Table 1.

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. VUSB VIO VL VUSB VIO VL VUSB Connection VL Connection Figure 2. 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). ASEL - This connector provides a method for controlling the ASEL input to configure the I2C slave address. A jumper is required to operate the EVM. The LM36923HEVM GUI provides a method for setting ASEL when a jumper is inserted between pins 2 and 4. When a jumper is inserted between pins 1 and 2 ASEL is connected to VIO through a 4.7-kΩ resistor (RA1). When a jumper is inserted between pins 2 and 3 ASEL is connected to GND through a 4.7-kΩ resistor (RA0). 4 1 2 3 USB2ANY Control 4 1 2 3 ASEL = VIN 4 1 2 3 ASEL = GND Figure 3. ASEL Jumper Settings 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 LM36923HEVM 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. 6 LM36923HEVM User's Guide SNVU509 – January 2016 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Setup www.ti.com OUT OUT LED+ LED+ LED String Disconnected LED String Connected Figure 4. OUT Jumper Settings HL1, HL2, HL3 - This connector provides a star connection to the LED string allowing the user to configure the LED string for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 series dual-LEDs. 12 series LED 2 series LED 4 series LED 6 series LED 8 series LED 10 series LED 12 series LED Figure 5. HL1, HL2, HL3 star jumper configuration settings ODD1, ODD2, ODD3 - These connectors provide a method for inserting a single LED in each string. When the jumper is removed from ODD1, ODD2 ,ODD3 the single LED D107, D207, D307 is part of the respective LED string. When a jumper is inserted on ODD1, ODD2, ODD3 the single LED D107, D207, D307 is bypassed in the respective LED string. ILED1, ILED2, ILED3 -The LM36923HEVM provides a way to accurately measure the LED current through each LED string on board. Resistors RL1 , RL2 and RL3 (10 Ω) are placed between the cathode of last LED in each respective string and the LM36923H 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 LM36923HEVM, the jumpers should be properly configured. The recommended setting, using shorting blocks is: ASEL to USB2ANY: install jumper between pins 2 and 4 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 HL1, HL2, HL3: install jumper in position 3 for each string ODD1, ODD2, ODD3: jumper installed (odd LED bypassed) Using these settings the device will be configured for USB2ANY control with 2 dual-led (4 LEDs) per string.
