Hardware 2 Hardware 2.1 Function Descriptions This section describes the connectors, jumpers and switches on LP5891EVM board. The driver IC side of the LP5891EVM board is shown in Figure 2-1. The LED side of the LP5891EVM board is shown in Figure 2-2.

The LP5891EVM is designed with connectors, jumpers and switches to support device-to-device connection, device-to-host connection and flexible power supply scheme. In addition, there are four switches on the LED side of the LP5891EVM board that enables the evaluation of LED open and short detection and removal functions of the LP5891.
• If the switch is set towards SOUT1TO2, then the serial data output from the first LP5891 chip is sent to J4 port, which is further sent to the second chip if several LP5891EVM are cascaded. • If the switch is set towards R00C, then the red LED in row 0, column 0 is connected in normal state.

The LP5891EVM can be powered either by the TMS320F280039C LaunchPad with the USB power (when the current consumption is low) or an external power supply (the LP5891EVM and the TMS320F280039C LaunchPad are powered separately). Single LP5891EVM can be quickly set up and tested by following these steps: 1.

1. Download the code to the TMS320F280039C LaunchPad with TI Code Composer Studio software. 2. For the first LP5891EVM, put the J5 jumper on TP1 5V and EX 5V. Then put the J6 jumper on EX5V and the middle. Set the switch S1 towards SOUT1TO2. These setups are marked with red boxes on the First Device Figure 2-4.
