Introduction
The Texas Instruments LM3699EVM evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation
and performance of the LM3699YFQ High-Efficiency PWM-only Three-String White LED Driver. The
LM3699EVM can be easily configured to support 3 parallel LED strings with 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 series LEDs.

Set-Up
This section describes the jumpers and connectors on the LM3699EVM as well as how to properly
connect, set up, and use the LM3699YFQ.
Input/Output Connector Description
VL - INPUT is the power input terminal for the boost converter and the LM3699 VIN supply. This terminal
provides a power (VBAT) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a power supply via a cable
assembly with banana plugs.
GND - INPUT is the power input terminal for the boost converter and the LM3699 GND. This terminal
provides a common ground (GND) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a power supply via a
cable assembly with banana plugs.
P1 - Connector is the connection between the power input terminal VL and the LM3699 VIN supply. This
connector allows the user to insert a current meter between terminals 1 and 2 to measure the LM3699
VIN current. A jumper must be installed when a current meter is not connected between terminals 1 and 2.

P2 - Connector is the connection between the power input terminal VL and the boost inductor. This
connector allows the user to insert a current probe between terminals 1 and 2 to measure the inductor
current. A jumper must be installed when a current probe is not connected between terminals 1 and 2.
P3 - Connector is the connection between the LM3699 boost convertor output and all three parallel LED
strings. A jumper must be installed between terminals 1 and 2 for normal operation.
P4 - Connector provides access to the LM3699 S1 input terminal. This terminal, along with S0, is used to
select one of four full-scale current settings. This input can not be left floating and a jumper must be
installed between either terminals 1 and 2 (GND) or 2 and 3 (VL).
P5 - Connector provides access to the LM3699 S0 input terminal. This terminal, along with S1, is used to
select one of four full-scale current settings. This input can not be left floating, and a jumper must be
installed between either terminals 1 and 2 (GND) or 2 and 3 (VL).
P6 - Connector provides access to the LM3699 ILOW input terminal. This terminal can be used to quickly
reduce the LM3699 LED Brightness during camera flash operation. This input can not be left floating and
a jumper must be installed between either terminals 1 & 2 (GND) to disable this feature or 2 and 3 (VL) to
enable this feature.
P7 - Test Point Connector provides access to the LM3699 HWEN and PWM inputs. An extra jumper is
provided between terminals 2 (GND) and 3 (GND). A jumper can be installed between terminals 3 and 4
or terminals 4 and 5 to connect the PWM input to GND or VL respectively. The PWM jumper must be
removed if an external signal generator is used to control the PWM duty cycle.
HL1A, HL1B and HL1C - Connector provides a star connection to the HVLED1 string allowing the user to
configure the HVLED1 string for 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 series LEDs.
HL2A, HL2B and HL2C - Connector provides a star connection to the HVLED2 string allowing the user to
configure the HVLED2 string for 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 series LEDs.
HL3A, HL3B and HL3C - Connector provides a star connection to the HVLED3 string allowing the user to
configure the HVLED3 string for 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 series LEDs.

Note: The 7 series LED configuration should not be used due to the LM3699 24-V OVP setting and the
LED maximum forward voltage of 3.5 V.

Required Equipment
The following test equipment is required to evaluate the LM3699:
• 5.5-V, 1.0-A Power Supply
• Pulse Generator
After supplying power to the LM3699EVM VL and GND inputs from the external power supply the user
can quickly verify the LM3699EVM operation by moving the jumper on P7 between terminals 3 and 4 to
P7 terminals 4 and 5. This will set the PWM input to 100% duty cycle and turn on all three led strings.
Connecting an external pulse generator to P7 terminals 3 and 4 allows the user to verify operation while
varying the PWM duty cycle and frequency. Refer to the LM3699 datasheet to set the correct pulse
generator signal levels (Vih/Vil/ABSMAX).
