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 MSL3162, including fault detection,
digital control of LED current, individual LED string on/off control, and internally
generated PWM dimming.
The compact eight-channel LED driver board is intended for evaluation,
prototyping, or small 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,
8-channel LED driver board
is a complete LED backlight
driver solution using the Atmel
LED Driver-MSL3162 for
medium-sized LCD panels.
Each channel drives up to 10
series-connected LEDs at up
to 160mA per channel. The
driver board is configured to
operate from a 10 - 16V input
voltage. The full-scale LED
current is preset to 50, 60,
70, or 80mA per LED string,
selected by an onboard switch.
Current can be reduced from
full scale through the I
2
C serial
interface in 64 linear steps.
Digital (PWM) dimming is
available through an external
signal or by using the internal
PWM generator via the
serial interface.
