This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the TPS61040EVM−002 white light LED bias supply evaluation module (EVM). This EVM is a Texas Instruments high-efficiency boost converter configured to supply 20 mA of bias current to four white light LEDs, from a single-cell Li-ion battery.
Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter contains background information for the TPS61040 and support documentation for the TPS61040EVM-002 evaluation module. Topic Page Background ..........
Background 1.1 Background The TPS61040EVM uses the TPS61040 boost converter to provide 20 mA of bias current to a four-element white LED from a single-cell Li-ion battery (3 V to 4.2 V). The EVM operates over an input voltage range of 1.8 V to 6.0 V, but has been optimized over a 3-V to 4.2-V input range.
Chapter 2 Setup and Test Results This chapter describes how to properly connect, set up, and use the TPS61040EVM−002. It also presents the test results for the EVM. All test results are measured with the EVM driving four white light LEDs. Topic Page Input/Output Connections...
Input/Output Connections 2.1 Input/Output Connections The TPS61040EVM−002 PWB has several connections, which are described in Table 2−1. Table 2−1. Input/Output Connections Reference Name Description Designator This is the positive connection to the input power supply. Input supply leads (Vin and GND) should be a twisted pair and kept as short as possible. This is the return connection for the input power supply.
EVM Operation seen at the FB pin, which lowers the LED current. If the resistor values are chosen correctly, the analog control voltage varies the output current between 0 mA and maximum programmed current. This dimming method is the default configuration of the EVM, and is accomplished by injecting an analog voltage into the DIM1 pin on J3.
Setup 2.2.3 PWM Dimming Using Enable The third method for dimming the LEDs is to inject a PWM voltage into the EN pin of the TPS61040. When the EN pin is high, the supply turns on and the output current is at the programmed maximum current. When the EN pin is low, the supply turns off and the output current goes to 0 mA.
Start-up 2.4 Start-up When enabled, the EVM goes through its programmed three-stage soft-start sequence to reduce inrush current at turnon. Figure 2−1 shows the startup sequence of the EVM when powered from a 4.0-V Li-ion battery. The top oscilloscope trace is the input current and the bottom trace is the output current.
LED Ripple Current 2.5 LED Ripple Current Figure 2−2 shows the output ripple current with Iout = 20 mA. The top oscilloscope trace shows the ripple with 3.6-V input, and the bottom trace shows the ripple with a 4.2-V input. The difference in switching frequency between the two traces is expected and is explained in the data sheet.
Switching Waveforms 2.6 Switching Waveforms Figure 2−3 shows the switching waveform at the SW pin of the TPS61040. When the internal FET turns on, the voltage at the SW pin is pulled to ground until the inductor current reaches 400 mA. When the inductor current reaches 400 mA, the FET turns off and the voltage at the SW pin rises to the output voltage plus the forward voltage drop of the diode.
Efficiency 2.7 Efficiency Figure 2−4 shows the measured efficiency of the TPS61040. Figure 2−4. Typical Efficiency V I = 6 V V I = 4.2 V V I = 3.6 V V I = 2.5 V 12.5 17.5 I O − Output Current − mA 2.8 Analog Dimming With Analog Voltage Data The EVM was modified to generate a 0 mA to 20 mA output when the control voltage is varied from 3.3 V to 0 V.
Analog Dimming With PWM Voltage Data 2.9 Analog Dimming With PWM Voltage Data For the Analog Dimming With PWM Voltage method, the EVM is configured identically with the Analog Dimming With Analog Voltage method with the exception that the control voltage is injected into the DIM2 pin on J3. R1 and C2 are chosen to be 10 kΩ...
PWM Dimming Using Enable Data 2.10 PWM Dimming Using Enable Data For the PWM Dimming Using Enable method, the EVM is configured with R2= open and R3 = short. Setting R4 = 61.9 Ω programs the maximum output current to 20 mA. Figure 2−7 shows input current and output current with the PWM frequency set to 100 Hz and 50% duty cycle.
PWM Dimming Using Injected Voltage on FB Data 2.11 PWM Dimming Using Injected Voltage on FB Data For the PWM Dimming Using Injected Voltage on FB method, a 0-V to 3.3-V control voltage is used to program a maximum LED current of 20 mA. Use the equations found in the Analog Dimming Using Analog Voltage section to calculate the resistor values.
