Input 

Allowable Range 

Description 

VDD 

2 to 5.5V 

LX1970 power supply if J1 is set to LX1970 only, or LX1970 power 
supply and LX1990 and external LED’s power supply if J1 is 
connected to LED DRIVER (LED’s will only light if J4 is also in 
DRIVER position. 

GND 

0V 

Common ground reference 

SRC 

Diode 

Pull-down 

5V to GND, fixed 
DC voltage or 
PWM/Logic signal

 

This diode connection is generally used to shunt SRC output current 

when disengaging the sensor in a full manual mode 

SRC 

Adjust 

Pull-up 

5V to GND, fixed 
DC voltage or 
PWM/Logic signal

 

First pull-up connection is generally used to set a minimum output 

voltage or adjust output transfer slope for SRC pin 

SRC 

Fixed 

Pull-up 

5V to GND, fixed 
DC voltage or 
PWM/Logic signal

 

Second pull-up connection is generally used to set a minimum 

output voltage or adjust output transfer slope for SRC pin 

SNK Pull-

up 

5V to GND, fixed 
DC voltage or 
PWM/Logic signal

 

This pull-up connection is generally used to set a maximum output 

voltage or adjust output transfer slope for SNK pin

Jumper 

Function 

J1 

Jumper to LED Driver connects LX1990 driver IC & LX1970 to  VDD, Jumper to  LX1970 
only connects VDD to the LX1970 sensor only. 

J2 

Jumper to SRC open disconnects external divider circuitry from LX1970 SCR pin.  Jumper 
to DIVIDER connects external divider circuitry to SRC pin. 

J3  

Shorts or leaves connect the series diode D2 from SRC pull-down path 

J4 

Jumper to DRIVER connects the SNK output to the ISET input of the LX1990 through a 
4.12K resistor.  Jumper to SNK Pull-up connects the SNK pin to the SNK Pull-up external 
board connection
