LP5860 Evaluation Module

ABSTRACT

This user’s guide describes the characteristics, setup, and usage of the LP5860 evaluation module (EVM).
The LP5860EVM helps the user evaluate the features of the Texas Instruments LP5860 LED matrix driver,
which integrates 11 scan switches and 18 constant current sinks. This user’s guide includes hardware setup
instructions, graphical user interface (GUI) instructions, printed-circuit board (PCB) layout drawings, a schematic
diagram, and a bill of materials,.
