DEMO MANUAL DC1608A
LT3745
16-Channel LED Driver
Description
Demonstration circuit 1608A features the LT
®
3745,
16-channel 50mA LED driver with buck controller and
serial interface. Each channel has an individually adjustable
12-bit (4096-step) grayscale PWM dimming control and
a 6-bit (64-step) dot correction current adjustment. Both
dimming control and current adjustment are accessible
via a 30MHz cascadable serial data interface. Individual
open/short LED and overtemperature flags are sent back
during status read back.
Three LT3745’s are connected in series to control 16 RGB
LEDs stuffed on the demo board. Each IC drives a separate
color. The evaluation software installed in a host computer
communicates with the DC1608A via the interface board
DC590B, an USB serial controller.
The LT3745 data sheet gives a complete description of
the part, its operation and application information. The
datasheet must be read in conjunction with this quick start
guide for working on or modifying the demo circuit 1608A.

DEMO MANUAL DC1608A
qUick stArt proceDUre
Demonstration circuit 1608A is easy to set up to evalu-
ate the performance of the LT3745. Refer to Figure 1 for
proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
1. Install the QuikEval™ System software on the host
computer. The software can be downloaded from
http://
www.linear.com/designtools/software/quick_eval.jsp
2. Install Microsoft .NET framework. The software can be
downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/NET/
3. Copy LT3745Release folder to the host computer. Run
vcredist_x86.exe. You may need to restart the computer.
4. Place jumpers in the following positions:
JP1
On
JP2
TO PWMCK
5. Connect the demo board to DC590B as shown in
Figure 1.
6. With power off, connect the input power supply to V
IN
and GND.
7. Apply 9V to 40V to DC1608A input.
8. Run LTcolorLEDarray.exe in the LT3745Release folder.
9. The initial start-up screen appears, at this point, none of
the LEDs should light up. Proceed with board evaluation.

operAting the control screen
Figure 2 is the initial start-up screen that appears when
the program is launched.
1. Send Data Frame to Chip.
Double-click one of the black squares in the “LED Colors”
grid. The standard color selector dialog box appears.
Select a color and click “OK.” Or select the LED number
in the “LED Configuration” grid, adjust the LED color
by moving the sliding bars.
Click the command button labeled “Send Data Frame
to Chip.” Verify that the LEDs light up in corresponding
colors.
2. Play Pattern File.
Click the “Browse” button and pick the file “test”. Click
the command button labeled “Play Pattern File.” Verify
that all 16 RGB LEDs light up in red, green, blue and
white in sequence.
Check the “Auto-Update Data/Loop File” option. Click
the command button labeled “Play Pattern File.” Click
the “stop” button at any time to stop.
3. Append Data Frame to Pattern File.
Create a blank text file. Click the “Browse” button and
pick this new file. Create and then add the first data
frame to the file by clicking the “Append Data Frame
to Pattern File” button. Create the second data frame
and add it to the file by clicking the “Append” button.
Repeat until all the data frames are added to the file.
Click the command button labeled “Play Pattern File.”
