About This Manual

This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the
TPS61040EVM−002 white light LED bias supply evaluation module (EVM).
This EVM is a Texas Instruments high-efficiency boost converter configured
to supply 20 mA of bias current to four white light LEDs, from a single-cell Li-ion
battery.  The user’s guide includes a schematic diagram, bill of materials
(BOM), and test data.

FCC Warning

This equipment is intended for use in a laboratory test environment only. It gen-
erates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested
for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to subpart J of
part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other en-
vironments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case
the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may
be required to correct this interference.
