Figure 5 shows the picture of the LM3697EVM board setup for evaluation using the LM3697EVM GUI software. Figure 5. LM3697EVM Test Setup for Evaluation with LM3697EVM GUI Software The LM3697EVM must be connected to the PC using the provided USB type mini-B cable. A power supply capable of 2.7V to 5.5V voltage range and up to 1.0 Amps current must be connected and turned on prior to configuring the LM3697. The LM3697EVM GUI is organized into three sections as follows: • Control Access • U2A PWM Control • LM3697 The Control Access section is used to establish the USB connection between the PC and the LM3697EVM, disconnect the USB connection between the PC and the LM3697, select the I2C repeated start option, and toggle the HWEN input to the LM3697. The U2A PWM Control section is used to enable the on-board PWM generator, set the PWM frequency (20 Khz to 100 Khz), duty cycle (0 to 100%), and polarity (high/low). The LM3697 I2C address (0x36 default) is set by the Slave Address control and is used for all four tabs of the LM3697 section. This section is organized into five separate tab pages as follows: • High Voltage LED • LED Fault • Single I2C Access • EVM Quick Test • Demo SNVU278 – NOVEMBER 2013 Submit Documentation Feedback Using the LM3697EVM Evaluation Module Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated 7 Setup www.ti.com The High Voltage LED page provides access to all of the user configurable registers in the LM3697. In some cases the information shown on the High Voltage LED page does not match the actual state of the LM3697 registers. To clear up this issue the user can click the Software Reset button, followed by clicking the Default Values button. The LED Fault page provides the user access to verify the LM3697 LED Open/Short detect feature (refer to the LM3697 datasheet for the proper test sequence). The Single I2C Access page provides the user access to individual LM3697 registers. The EVM Quick Test page provides the user a simple way to quickly verify the EVM operation using seven different test cases. The user cycles through the test cases by clicking on the Advance Test button. When the test is complete clicking the Advance Test button will restart the test sequence beginning with the first test case. The EVM Test Verification Instructions field will be updated to reflect the test case performed. The Demo page provides the user with two options (Ramp Test and Cycle Test) to quickly evaluate the LM3697 LED brightness ramp capability. The Ramp Demo provides a simple way to quickly evaluate LED brightness resolution and mapping. The Ramp Demo will change the LED brightness between the high code and low code using the wait time delay between each brightness code step. The user can select the resolution (11-bit to 4-bit) and mapping mode (exponential or linear) and choose to Ramp Up, Ramp Down, or Step between the two brightness codes. The repeat check box will repeat the sequence until the Stop button is depressed. The Cycle Test is used to cycle between 400 µA and 900 µA current levels with the high time, low time, ramp up time, ramp down time, and mapping mode configured by the user. This test will start when the Start Cycle button is depressed and will repeat until the Stop Cycle button is depressed. When the LM3697EVM GUI software is executed, a basic interface window will open as shown in Figure 6. The user needs to click the Open button under the Control Access section of the GUI interface to establish the USB connection between the PC and the LM3697EVM. When the connection is properly established the Serial: field will be updated, and the Firmware Version: field will be updated with 1.18,0.0. If the communication is not properly established both of these fields will contain the word "Error". When the Close button is clicked, the HWEN signal will be asserted, and the GUI window will be closed. Figure 6.

Unless otherwise indicated, this EVM is not a finished electrical equipment and not intended for consumer use. It is intended solely for use for preliminary feasibility evaluation in laboratory/development environments by technically qualified electronics experts who are familiar with the dangers and application risks associated with handling electrical mechanical components, systems and subsystems. It should not be used as all or part of a finished end product. Your Sole Responsibility and Risk. You acknowledge, represent and agree that: 1. 2. 3. 4. You have unique knowledge concerning Federal, State and local regulatory requirements (including but not limited to Food and Drug Administration regulations, if applicable) which relate to your products and which relate to your use (and/or that of your employees, affiliates, contractors or designees) of the EVM for evaluation, testing and other purposes. You have full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety and compliance of your products with all such laws and other applicable regulatory requirements, and also to assure the safety of any activities to be conducted by you and/or your employees, affiliates, contractors or designees, using the EVM. Further, you are responsible to assure that any interfaces (electronic and/or mechanical) between the EVM and any human body are designed with suitable isolation and means to safely limit accessible leakage currents to minimize the risk of electrical shock hazard. Since the EVM is not a completed product, it may not meet all applicable regulatory and safety compliance standards (such as UL, CSA, VDE, CE, RoHS and WEEE) which may normally be associated with similar items. You assume full responsibility to determine and/or assure compliance with any such standards and related certifications as may be applicable. You will employ reasonable safeguards to ensure that your use of the EVM will not result in any property damage, injury or death, even if the EVM should fail to perform as described or expected. You will take care of proper disposal and recycling of the EVM’s electronic components and packing materials. Certain Instructions. It is important to operate this EVM within TI’s recommended specifications and environmental considerations per the user guidelines. Exceeding the specified EVM ratings (including but not limited to input and output voltage, current, power, and environmental ranges) may cause property damage, personal injury or death. If there are questions concerning these ratings please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied outside of the specified output range may result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible permanent damage to the EVM and/or interface electronics. Please consult the EVM User's Guide prior to connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification, please contact a TI field representative. During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than 60°C as long as the input and output are maintained at a normal ambient operating temperature. These components include but are not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors which can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User's Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during normal operation, please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch. As with all electronic evaluation tools, only qualified personnel knowledgeable in electronic measurement and diagnostics normally found in development environments should use these EVMs. Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold TI, its licensors and their representatives harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, costs and liabilities (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or in connection with any use of the EVM that is not in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This obligation shall apply whether Claims arise under law of tort or contract or any other legal theory, and even if the EVM fails to perform as described or expected. Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications. If you intend to evaluate the components for possible use in safety critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, such as devices which are classified as FDA Class III or similar classification, then you must specifically notify TI of such intent and enter into a separate Assurance and Indemnity Agreement.
