• Up to 48-V VOUT boost controller
• Four high-precision current sinks
• Supports built-in phase-shift PWM dimming, hybrid dimming, current dimming and direct PWM dimming
mode
• LED brightness controlled globally through I2C interface or PWM input
• Extensive fault diagnostics
1.2 Applications
Backlight for:
• Automotive infotainment
• Automotive instrument clusters
• Smart mirrors
• Heads-Up Displays (HUD)

2.5 Quick Start-Up Procedure
1. After the hardware is connected successfully, run the GUI software. Turn on the 12-V external power supply.
Select the right device variant of the EVM, which is LP8864, as shown in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3. LP8866/4 Family GUI Landing Page
2. Check the connection status button on the bottom left corner of the GUI. The button should be like the one
shown in Figure 2-3. There should be a Hardware Connected message on the status bar next to the button. If it
shows Hardware not Connected, click the button to manually connect the hardware. This button can be used to
connect or disconnect the GUI to the hardware during the evaluation. Besides the connection status button, the
device should be enabled to be connected to the GUI. Ensure the Enable button on the LED Control Page (see
Figure 2-5) is enabled.

3. Click the EXPLORE LP8864 button to go to the LP8864EVM GUI home page (see Figure 2-4).
Figure 2-4. LP8864EVM GUI Home Page
4. Click the START button to go to the LED Control page (see Figure 2-5). On the LED Control page, the user
can control all the register-based control functions of the device, like brightness control, current control, sloper
control, dither control, boost synchronization configuration, and spread spectrum configuration.

2.6 Additional GUI Functions
In the selection tab on the left-hand side, the user can switch between LED Control, Monitor Faults, Diagnostics
and Register Map tabs. This section introduces GUI functions provided in the Monitor Faults, Diagnostics, and
Register Map tabs.
2.6.1 Monitor Faults Page
From the Monitor Faults page (see Figure 2-6), the user has access to LP8864-Q1 fault status bits. Faults can
be cleared by software by clicking the Clear All button. Fault interrupt can be enabled or disabled globally by
toggling the Interrupt All button. Besides that, each fault interrupt and each fault status can be controlled
individually.

2.6.2 Diagnostics Page
From the Diagnostics page (see Figure 2-7), the user can read back the following diagnostics register values
and corresponding device status.
• FSM_LIVE_STATUS: current status of the functional state machine
• PWM_INPUT_STATUS: 16-bit value for detected duty cycle of PWM input signal
• PWM_OUTPUT_STATUS: 16-bit value for configured duty cycle of PWM output signal
• LED_CURRENT_STATUS: 12-bit current DAC code that brightness path is driving to OUT1-4 output
• VBOOST_STATUS: 11-bit boost voltage code that adaptive voltage control loop sending to analog boost
block
• AUTO_PWM_FREQ_SEL: LED PWM frequency value from PWM_SEL resistor detection
• AUTO_LED_STRING_CFG: LED string configuration from LED_SET resistor detection
• AUTO_BOOST_FREQ_SEL: boost switching frequency value from PWM_FSET resistor detection

2.6.3 Register Map Page
Figure 2-8 shows the registers map page. All the registers are available on this page. When Auto Read is set to
other than "Off", all the registers will be read automatically and periodically according to the interval time the user
selects. Otherwise, the user needs to click the READ REGISTER button to read the selected register or click the
READ ALL REGISTERS button to read all of the registers.
Clicking on the row of a register automatically updates the corresponding field view on the right side of the page.
The register value can be updated by modifying the hexadecimal value in the Value column or by double-clicking
the corresponding bit in the Bits column. The modified value is effective immediately if "Immediate Write" is
selected in the drop-down menu. When "Deferred Write" is selected, the modified value will not take effect until
the user clicks the WRITE REGISTER button. The value of all the registers can be updated together by clicking
the WRITE ALL REGISTERS button.

2.7 Instructions for Standalone Evaluation
The LP8864EVM can be used for standalone evaluation (without GUI software and PC connection). To support
standalone mode, it must be modified from its default settings as described in the following list:
1. Mount R20 to pull up EN input.
2. Change pullup and pulldown resistors to select spread spectrum enable (R18) or disable (R25) option.
3. Mount R19 to pull up PWM input for 100% brightness. If brightness needs to be changed from 100%, connect
external PWM source at PWM pin.
The minimum procedures for turning on the LEDs after the previously-listed modifications are as follows:
1. Connect a 12-V external power supply between the power input terminals VBAT+ and GNDin on the
LP8864EVM.
2. Connect the LP886X-LEDLAOD-EVM board (4 strings, 8 LEDs per string) to J10 on the LP8864EVM.
3. Turn on the external power supply.
