The optional microcontroller board and graphical user interface (GUI)
software allow control of the driver board through a personal computer. This
gives access to the internal features of the MSL1061, including fault detection,
digital control of LED current, individual LED string on/off control, and internally
generated PWM dimming.
The compact six-channel LED driver board is intended for evaluation,
prototyping, or production runs. Gerber files and Cadence OrCAD layout files
are available to allow the circuit to be integrated into a larger system for large
production runs.
General Description
The Atmel
®
compact,
6-channel LED driver board is a
complete LED backlight driver
solution using the Atmel LED
Driver-MSL1061 LED driver
for medium-sized LCD panels.
Each channel drives up to 12
series-connected LEDs at up to
30mA per channel. The diver
board is configured to operate
from 3.3V up to 28V. The full-
scale LED current is preset to
15, 20, 25, or 30mA per LED
string, selected by an onboard
switch. Current can be
reduced from full-scale through
the I
2
C serial interface in 16
linear steps. Digital (PWM)
dimming is available through
an external signal or by using
the internal PWM generator via
the serial interface.
