  • Page 2: Input/Output Connector Description

    The Texas Instruments LM3639YFQAEVM evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the LM3639A Single Chip 40V Backlight + 1.5A Flash LED Driver. The low- voltage, high-current flash LED driver is a synchronous boost which provides the power for a single flash LED at up to 1.5A or dual LEDs at up to 750 mA each.
  • Page 3 J22 - PWM- This pin provides an external method for adjusting the backlight LED brightness. The PWM pin is connected to ground via a 300 kΩ resistor internal to the LM3639A. To externally drive this pin, either connect a control signal directly to the PWM pin of the connector or place a jumper between connector pins PWM and PWM0.

    Enable the device and to configure it as desired. The LM3639A will dissipate power, especially during high current and long duration flash events. Power will also be dissipated on the flash LEDs. The EVM layout is designed to minimize temperature rise during operation.

  • Page 9: Evm Setup

    Once connected, and the program is executed, a basic interface window will open. EVM Setup 1. Plug in USB2ANY interface board into PC via USB cable and 10-pin Ribbon Cable into LM3639A EVM. 2. Connect Power Supply to LM3639A EVM. Use the Red and Black Banana Jacks. Ensure current limit is set to greater than 3A and that the voltage is set below 5.5V.
