Start-Up of the EVM and Power Sequences
The LP8862-Q1 EVM is set up for easy start-up:
•
Connect LEDs to OUT1 and OUT2 of connector J16. (Note: LED current default is 160 mA and boost
voltage default is 37 V. LED outputs that are not used must be grounded via jumpers J11 orJ12.)
•
Connect input (BATTERY) voltage 12V to connector J25.
The LEDs turn on immediately because the jumpers on the EVM are set up for PWM input of 100% duty
cycle. For connector and jumper positions, see
and
.
Input (BATTERY) voltage range is 4.5 V to 40 V.
The LP8862-Q1 has a dual function VDDIO/EN pin. By default, VDDIO/EN = 3.3V is generated
automatically on the EVM from battery input voltage, via jumpers J1 and J26. VDDIO/EN acts as enable
for the chip as well as supply/reference voltage for IO logic. Device starts when V
IN
voltage is present and
above the V
IN
UVLO voltage level (4 V), and the VDDIO/EN voltage is set above threshold voltage (1.2 V).
By default, boost switching frequency is 400 kHz (jumper J4 connecting R3 = 160 k
Ω
to FSET) and boost
maximum voltage is 37 V (R12 = 750 k
Ω
and R13 = 130 k
Ω
). See
and
for
descriptions of how to change boost settings.
By default, LED current is 160 mA per string (jumper J5 connecting R4= 30 k
Ω
to ISET). See
for descriptions of how to change LED current setting.
Alternatively to internal LDO, device circuitry can be powered from external power supply (4.4...5.25 V)
connected to LDO pin. The internal LDO is disabled in this case.

PWM input to Initiate Start-up Sequence
The backlight is started by setting PWM input high. By default, LP8862-Q1 EVM has PWM input set high
(100% duty cycle). It is connected to VDDIO through jumper J2. Alternatively, an external PWM signal can
be connected by removing jumper J2 , shorting pins 3 and 4 on jumper J17 and connecting the external
PWM to connector J18.

6.2
Shutdown Sequence
The backlight is shut down (LEDs turned off) by setting PWM input low or when VDDIO/EN = 0. If
VDDIO/EN is set low, the LP8862-Q1 enters low-power mode with internal LDO disabled.
