The LP8863EVM Evaluation Module

1 Introduction

TI's LP8863-Q1 evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the

LP8863-Q1 automotive LED backlight driver. The device offers configurability and can be set up through

external resistor options for boost switching frequency, LED current, and PWM out frequency. Internal

The EVM contains one LP8863-Q1 LED driver with boost circuit and a Tiva Launchpad evaluation circuit

to provide control signals for LED driver.

• Boost SW frequency – 300 kHz (set by external resistor R59)

• Maximum LED current per string – 120 mA (set by external resistor R57)

• PWM input to control brightness (register control)

• PWM output frequency – 9.8 kHz (set by external resistor R58)

• I2C interface to communicate with LP8863-Q1 – base address 0x2C

• Charge pump for SW gate drive enabled

• J14 : Open to disconnect VDDIO input from VLDO out

• J17 : Open to use internal charge pump

• J19 : Close to connect onboard LDO outputs (1.8 V from Tiva controller circuit) to VDDIO

• J31 : Close to connect onboard LDO output (5 V) to VDD input to LP8863-Q1 measurement

• J12 : Open – probing point of boost output

provides a power (VBAT) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a power supply.

J6 – GND— This banana socket is the power input (GND) terminal for the boost converter. The terminal

provides a power ground (GND) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a power supply.

J7 – Header— This header is a probing point of SW node.

J8 – GND— This banana socket is the power input (GND) terminal for the boost converter. The terminal

provides a power ground (GND) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a power supply.

J11 – Header— This header is a probing point of VINP (boost input power after power line FET).

J12 – Headers— These headers are probing points of boost output (VBOOST).

J13 – GND— This header is the power input (GND) terminal and also probing header for the boost

converter. The terminal provides power ground connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a

power supply and also monitor VBAT connected to J8.

J14 – Jumper— This connector is for selection of the source of VDDIO between VDD and internal LDO

out (VLDO) of LP8863-Q1.

J15 – Input— This header is the power input (VDDIO) terminal and also probing header for VDDIO. The

terminal provides a power connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a power supply and

also monitor VDDIO selected by J14.

J16 – Headers— These headers are probing/noise injecting points for stability measurement of boost.

J17 – Connector— This connector is to connect VDD to the internal charge pump output (when charge

pump is not used).

J18 – Header— This header is a probing point of GD.

J19 – Jumper— This connector is for selection of the source of VDDIO between 1.8-V and 3.3-V output

from on-board LDOs.

J20 – Connector— This connector is to connect 5-V output from on-board LDO to VDD input.

J21 to J26 – Headers— These headers are to measure LED string current of LED0 to LED5.

J27 – GND— These headers are probing points of GND.

J28 – Header— This header is a probing point of INT.

2.2 LP8863EVM Setup

External power must be provided to the board. Connect a standard type-A plug from the PC to a Mini-B

plug, which goes to the EVM connector. The I2C-compatible interface program provides all of the controls

that the LP8863-Q1 device requires.

3 Quick Start-Up Procedure

• Connect USB cable between EVB and PC.

• Connect external power supply to VIN: 12 V (typical), 5-A setting, output not enabled yet.

• Run the LP8863 GUI software and click ”Control” icon on left of GUI, then control window appears

as in Figure 9.

Figure 9. GUI Control Window

• Check ”EVM connected” mark on bottom of GUI software.

• Press ”IFSEL Pin” button to select I2C interface: This is not required if register control is not used.

• Enable VIN power supply output: IIN is approximately a couple of mA at normal cases. If higher current

on either power rail is monitored, disable power supply output and begin debugging.

• Click ”Enable Pin” button on GUI software: boost converter starts working, and LEDs stay off without

PWM input.

• On PWM input control, check ”Enable” box of PWM input, select frequency and duty from drop-down

boxes, and press ”Update” button: LED turns on at adjusted brightness level by PWM input.
