RT4532 Evaluation Board
Purpose
The RT4532 is a high-efficiency LED driver for backlight applications with an internal schottky diode and current
source driver.
It supports linear mappings with 256 steps to setup the brightness of backlight LEDs. It also supports PWM dimming
to adjust the brightness. This document explains the function and use of the RT4532 evaluation board (EVB) and
provides information to enable operation and modification of the evaluation board and circuit to suit individual
requirements.

Introduction
General Product Information
The RT4532 is a high-efficiency LED driver for backlight applications. An asynchronous boost converter with an
internal Schottky diode and a current source driver are designed to support 6LED/channel with wide input voltage
range from 2.5V to 5.5V.
This document explains the function and use of the RT4532 evaluation board (EVB) and provides information to
enable operation and modification of the evaluation board and circuit to suit individual requirements.

Bench Test Setup Conditions
Headers Description and Placement
Please carefully inspect the EVB IC and external components, comparing them to the following Bill of Materials, to ensure that all components are
installed and undamaged. If any components are missing or damaged during transportation, please contact the distributor or send e-mail to
evb_service@richtek.com
Test Points
The EVB is provided with the test points and pin names listed in the table below.
Pin No.
Pin Name
Comment (expected waveforms or voltage levels on test points)
A2
GND
Ground.
B1
VOUT
Power Output of the Asynchronous Boost Converter for Backlight LEDs.
Connect a 1μF or larger ceramic capacitor from VOUT to ground.
B2
VIN
C1
PWM
C2
EN
D1
SDA
I2C Serial Data Input/Output. An external pull-up resistor is required.
D2
SCL
I2C Serial Data Input/Output. An external pull-up resistor is required.
E1
FB2
Single Output 2 for Backlight LED.
E2
FB1
Single Output 1 for Backlight LED.
Power Input. Connect this pin to the input power supply voltage.
Connect a 10μF or larger ceramic capacitor from the VIN to ground.
PWM Dimming Input for Backlight LED.
Enable Control Input (Active High). The chip is in shutdown mode when the EN pin is low.
Power-up & Measurement Procedure
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Apply 3.6V nominal input power supply (2.5V < VIN < 5.5V) to the VIN and GND terminals.
The EN voltage is pulled to logic high by internal circuit to enable operation. Drive EN high (>1.05V) to enable
operation or low ( 15kHz application), recommending dimming frequency have to be
operated at range of 400Hz to 20kHz.
3.
LED Short Protection
LED short protection prevents abnormal connection to cause IC damage avoiding FB1/FB2 connecting power
supply. And, If unbalanced LEDs series (cause FB1 or FB2 > 9.6V) is different between channel1 and channel2, IC
will also occur LED short event. As LED short event occur more than deglitch time 2ms, IC will shut-down latch until
IC is reset by EN pin.
