NCV7680-NCV3163
Evaluation Board
User's Manual
Description
The NCV7680 is an octal LED driver designed for
automotive LED rear combination lamps. External
programmability of the NCV7680 allows the user to set the
tail current and stop currents using a single resistor for each
function. An optional external FET is used to help distribute
power for high power systems.
The NCV7680−NCV3163 Evaluation Board includes
both an NCV7680 (octal driver) and NCV3163 (Boost
Regulator). The NCV3163 allows for an increased number
of LEDs per NCV7680 output by boosting the LED string
anode voltage. The DIAG pin is brought out for reporting of
open circuit conditions.
The LED's mounted on the evaluation board are jumpered
giving flexibility for evaluating customer defined loads.

These Devices are Pb-Free and are RoHS Compliant
NOTE: For 100% Duty Cycle operation, connect the PWM
Input post to the VP post. The default setup (with
the 2 posts floating) yields 0% Duty Cycle.
