SNVU509 – January 2016 LM36923HEVM User's Guide Introduction The Texas Instruments LM36923HEVM evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the LM36923H Highly Efficient Triple-String White LED driver. The device offers configurability via I C-compatible interface. The EVM contains six dual-LED and a single LED per string which can be easily configured to support 1, 2 or 3 parallel LED strings with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 or 13 series LEDs.
C slave address. A jumper is required to operate the EVM. The LM36923HEVM GUI provides a method for setting ASEL when a jumper is inserted between pins 2 and 4. When a jumper is inserted between pins 1 and 2 ASEL is connected to VIO through a 4.7-kΩ...
D307 is bypassed in the respective LED string. ILED1, ILED2, ILED3 -The LM36923HEVM provides a way to accurately measure the LED current through each LED string on board. Resistors RL1 , RL2 and RL3 (10 Ω) are placed between the cathode of last LED in each respective string and the LM36923H Current Sink Output.
Figure 9 Figure 10 show the board layout for the LM36923HEVM. The EVM offers resistors, capacitors, and jumpers to enable the device and to configure it as desired. The LM36923H will dissipate power, especially during high brightness maintained for a long duration.
USB2ANY interface box and interface software. The LM36923HEVM has the means to “plug into” the USB docking board. The USB docking board provides all the control signals for the simple interface. Power to the part must be provided externally. A USB cable (provided) must be connected to the board from a PC.
PWM Pin Control The LM36923HEVM provides the user with the capability to control the PWM input without the need of an external source. The PWM signal will be low until the "PWM Enable" button is clicked or whenever the "Duty Cycle"...
I C slave address used by the GUI is set to 0x37. If the LM36923HEVM ASEL jumper is set to a fixed setting the user will need to verify that the GUI Address Select setting matches the jumper on the EVM.
History & Macro Tab The LM36923HEVM GUI provides history, register access and macro capability when the "History" checkbox is checked. The history information can be cleared by clicking the "Clear" button or saved to file by clicking the "Save to file ..." button. Clicking the "Save to file ..." button will open up a dialog box to select the file location and file name.
C-Compatible Interface Program www.ti.com Macro Example The LM36923HEVM GUI provides the user with the ability to create custom macros to configure the LM36923H with a single button click. Multiple macros can be created and saved in a single file as shown Figure Table 3.
Updating USB2ANY Firmware When the LM36923HEVM GUI is launched the USB2ANY firmware is checked to verify that it contains the correct version. If the USB2ANY firmware version does not match the user will be prompted to update the USB2ANY firmware.
Figure 24. USB2ANY firmware update step 2 After the USB2ANY firmware is successfully updated the user must click the "Close" button to close the USB2ANY Firmware Loader and return control to the LM36923HEVM GUI. Figure 25. USB2ANY firmware update complete LM36923HEVM User's Guide SNVU509 –...
