Introduction
The LM3530 current mode boost converter supplies the power and controls the current in a series LED
string of up to 40V. The 839 mA current limit and 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage range, makes the device a
versatile backlight power source ideal for operation with Li+ batteries.
The LED current is adjustable from 0 to 29.5 mA via an I2C compatible interface. The 127 different current
steps and 8 different maximum LED current levels (full scale LED current) gives a wide range of
programmable LED currents. A PWM brightness control input allows for the backlight current to be a
function of the brightness code and the PWM duty cycle. Two Ambient Light Sensor inputs are available to
interface with two analog output ambient light sensors. These provide for the automatic adjustment of the
LED current due to changes in the ambient light. Each ambient light sensor input has independently
programmable internal voltage setting resistors which can be made high impedance to reduce power
during shutdown.
The LM3530's 500 kHz switching frequency allows for high converter efficiency over a wide output voltage
range accommodating from 2 to 11 series LEDs.

Simple I2C Interface
The top middle portion of the GUI has a simple I2C interface (general interface). In this section are three
text boxes (I2C ID, Address, and Data). The I2C ID box is pre-loaded with the device address (0x38). For
evaluation of the 25V devices with an I2C I.D. of 0x36, simply enter 36 in the I2C ID field. The Address
field is writable by the user and accepts one of the LM3530’s register address’s. The Data field is both
writable and readable by the user and contains the data to be written or the data to be read back. The
Write and Read buttons select either an I2C write or an I2C read.

General Configuration Register
The General Configuration Register portion of the GUI contains the programmable features available
within the LM3530’s General Configuration Register (see Table 1). The left-most button (en_simple)
corresponds to bit 7 of the register and the right-most button (EN_CHIP) corresponds to bit 0. When a
button is pushed a logic ‘1’ is written to the appropriate bit. When a button is unpushed a logic zero is
written. The FS current slider programs the full scale currents (bits [5:2]). The slider moved fully to the left
corresponds to 5mA of full scale current. When a button is pushed or unpushed or the slider is moved to a
new location the WR button must be depressed in order to write the new bit settings to the LM3530’s
General Configuration Register.

Brightness Register (0xA0)
The BRGHT Reg portion of the GUI provides Read and Write capabilities for the Brightness Register. The
single slider will transition the brightness codes from all zeroes (slider fully left) to all 1’s (slider fully right).
When the slider is moved to the desired location the WR button must be pushed in order to write the new
Brightness Register code. Alternatively, the hexadecimal code can be entered into the tex tbox to the right
of the slider and the WR button can be pushed to write this new code. When the RD button is pushed the
Brightness Register contents are read back and displayed in this textbox. Table 5 and Table 6 detail the
brightness register codes and their corresponding percentage of full scale current. Table 5 corresponds to
the exponential response, and Table 6 corresponds to the linear response (see General Configuration
Register bit [1]).

ALS Resistor Selector Register
The ALS Resistor Select Register section of the GUI controls the internal ALS resistors. Table 7 details
the bit information of this register. The two sliders select one of the 16 available internal resistances from
either ALS1 to GND or ALS2 to GND. Once the appropriate slider is set to its correct position, the WR
button must be pressed in order to load the ALS Resistor Select Register with the new data. A read of the
ALSRS register will automatically update the field to the right of the sliders and also update the slider.

Zone Boundary Registers and Zone Target Registers
The bottom section of the GUI contains the controls for writing data to the Zone Boundary and Zone
Target Registers. The top 5 sliders allow for the 7-bit brightness data to be written to the Zone Target
Registers (0 – 4). With the sliders at the bottom corresponding to code 0x00 and the sliders all the way to
the top corresponding to code 0x7F. The 4 bottom sliders allow for the 8-bit zone boundary data to be
programmed to the Zone Boundary Registers (0 -3). Alternatively, there are text boxes corresponding to
each of the Zone Target and Zone Boundary Registers that will accept the raw hex data for each of the
registers. Once the data is selected either by moving the slider or by typing the hex number in the
appropriate textbox, the (WR 0x06 - 0x0E) button must be pressed in order to write the data to the device.
A read from the Zone Boundary and Zone Target Registers is done by pressing the (RD 0x06 – 0x0E)
button.

Calibrate Current Sink Field
The exponential code to LED current characteristic of the LM3530 is designed to produce both a high
dimming ratio and an “eye perceived linear” brightness ramp vs. code (exponential response). The
LM3530 production devices will undergo a permanent exponential characteristic calibration that insures a
high dimming ratio and smooth code to code output current characteristic. Early evaluation boards that
utilize engineering samples that have not been production calibrated can be calibrated via the LM3530
GUI. The software calibration is volatile, meaning that it must be repeated any time power is removed from
the device and reapplied. To calibrate the output characteristic first apply power to the device. Next, click
the calibrate button. The process occurs in a second or so, and the LED exponential characteristic is
calibrated until power is removed from the device. Unless specifically informed that the device is an
engineering sample, you should assume it is not and therefore the Calibration Current Sink button is not
necessary.

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.
