Introduction
TI's LP8863-Q1 evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the
LP8863-Q1 automotive LED backlight driver. The device offers configurability and can be set up through
external resistor options for boost switching frequency, LED current, and PWM out frequency. Internal
register options enable various controls such as brightness inputs, slope control, dimming options, etc.
The EVM contains one LP8863-Q1 LED driver with boost circuit and a Tiva Launchpad evaluation circuit
to provide control signals for LED driver.

Instructions for Standalone Evaluation
The LP8863EVM can be used for standalone evaluation (without evaluation software and PC connection).
These are minimum requirements to use LP8863EVM as a standalone mode:
• Power supplies for VIN – 24 V or higher, 6 A or higher
• Power supplies for VDD – 5.5 V or higher, 0.5 A or higher (if external power supply is used)
• Power cables for VIN (and/or VDD) connection – TI recommends cables with banana plugs
• LED load board (not included in package, order number EVMSVA-E99-B-250) – 6 strings, 8 LEDs per
string (LEDs per string can be adjusted by moving jumpers on load board
• LED cable – 7-position ribbon cable

The LP8863EVM must be modified to support standalone mode from its default settings described as
follows:
1. Remove jumper on J19.
2. Connect pin 3 and 4 of J14 to connect VLDO output from LP8863-Q1 to VDDIO input.
3. Mount R68 to pull up PWM input for 100% brightness. If brightness needs to be changed from 100%,
connect external PWM source here (SDO_PWM).
4. Mount R63 to select I2C interface, so PWM input pin is not assigned to SDO of SPI interface.
5. Mount R64 to pull up EN input.
6. Change pullup and pulldown resistors to select spread spectrum enable (R66) or disable (R71) option.
The minimum procedures for turning on the LEDs after modifications above are as follows:
• Connect external power (VBAT, 3 V to 48 V; typical 12 V, 6 A) and ground to the board (recommended
boost conversion ratio less than 10).
• Connect LED load board (6 strings, 8 LEDs per string) to J33 (use caution about the boost output pin
location).
• Enable external power supply.

Using the LP8863EVM
The LP8863-Q1 automotive LED driver can be set or programmed to support optimal application
configuration for boost and LED driver control. A few basic settings such as boost switch frequency, PWM
output frequency, and LED string current can be controlled by external resistor options, and other settings
for preferences such as dimming option, brightness input selection, slope control, etc can be programmed
using LP8863-Q1 GUI software. This section shows how to set hardware conditions such as power
sequences, external resistor options, etc.
10.1 Power up/down sequence
Power up: Input VIN (generating VDD from on-board LDO) a few hundred µs earlier than EN. Input VBAT
and VDDIO earlier than EN.
Power down: VIN must be high for at least 400 ms after EN is low for correct discharge operation. VDDIO
and VBAT must be low after EN is low.
10.2 Enable
The EN pin controls boost enable/disable. If brightness input is 0% while EN is high, boost output voltage
stays at the initial voltage (approximately 46 V).
10.3 Setting Boost Switch Frequency
R59 between BST_FSET and GND sets boost switch frequency. The value can be selected from Table 2.
The default switch frequency setting is 300 kHz.
