User’s Manual ELI43-CR PWM Control of Backlight Figure 4. PWM Backlight Control J5 mating connector housing information: • Manufacturer: Hirose • Part Number: DF12-3S-1.25C • Digi-Key Link: https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=H2180-ND • Pre-terminated wires https://www.digikey.com/products/en?PPV=1811-9-566967 ELI provides an input so an external processor can control the display backlight to vary the display brightness or to reduce power consumption (the display backlight is typically one of the larger sources of power consumption in the system). - Page 10 PWM Dimming Input. If the external system is capable of directly driving the PWM dimming signal at 3.3VDC, there is no need to connect pin 1 to the cable. Figure 5.
