1 Introduction

The Texas Instruments TPS61177AEVM evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation

and performance of the TPS61177A High-Efficiency LED Backlight Driver. The device offers configurability

and can be set up to switch at 450 kHz, 600 kHz, 800 kHz, and 1.2 MHz.

The EVM contains one LED driver (see Table 1).

2 Set-Up

This section describes the jumpers and connectors on the EVM, as well as how to properly connect, set

up, and use the TPS61177AEVM.

2.1 Input/Output Connector Description

J1 - Input: This header is the power input(VIN) terminal for the boost converter. The terminal provides a

power (VBAT) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a power supply.

J2 - Input: This header is the power input (GND) terminal for the boost converter. The terminal provides a

power ground(PGND) connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a power supply.

J3 - Input: T his header is the power input terminal for the boost converter. The terminal provides a power

and power ground connection to allow the user to attach the EVM to a power supply using a 2-pin IDC

socket and also monitor VIN connected to J1.

J4 - Connector: This connector is for interfacing LED load board via ribbon cable or flying wires.

J5 - GND: This header connects to AGND to provide grounds for signal probing.

J6 - GND: This header connects to AGND to provide grounds for signal probing.

J7 - Input: This header connects to AGND to provide grounds for signal probing.

J8 - Connector: This connector is for interfacing with USB2ANY interface board for I2C communication

and control inputs such as PWM and EN signal.

Set-Up

J9 - GND: This header connects to AGND to provide grounds for signal probing.

J10 - Connector: This connector is for interfacing LED load board(WLEDEVM-260) via 2 row ribbon

cable.

J17 - Connector: This connector is to use PWM signal from USB2ANY instead of VIN or external one

chosen by JP9.

J18 - Connector: This connector is to use EN signal from USB2ANY instead of VIN or external one

chosen by JP1.

JP1 - Jumper: This jumper is for selecting EN input state between high and low.

JP2 - Jumper: This jumper is for connecting VOUT to J4 and J10 for LED load connection.

JP3 to JP8 - Jumpers: These jumpers are for enabling or disabling LED channels.

JP9 - Jumper: This jumper is used to set PWM control. Connecting pin 1 and pin 2 will send high signal

to device and set full on. Connecting pin2 and pin3 will send low signal to device and set off.

JP10 - Jumper: This jumper is a small pad to place jumper resistor or current sensing resistor on VIN.

JP11 to JP16 - Jumpers: TThese jumpers are used to bypass 10-Ωseries resistors to measure LED

string current.

JP17 - Jumper: This jumper is used to bypass series resistor on boost feedback (VLED) input.

JP18 - Jumper: This jumper is used to connect VIN to boost circuit or to bypass JP10.

TP1 - Test Point: This header is test point for VIN.

TP2 - Test Point: This header is test point for VINB.

TP3 - Test Point: This header is test point for VCC out.

TP4 - Test Point: This header is test point for boost switch node voltage.

TP5 - Test Point: This header is test point for REF.

TP6 - Test Point: This header is test point for VLED (boost feedback).

TP7 - Test Point: This header is test point for boost output voltage.

TP8 - Test Point: This header is test point for EN.

TP9 - Test Point: This header is test point for PWM input.

TP10 - Test Point: This header is test point for SCL (I2C clock).

TP11 - Test Point: This header is test point for SDA(I2C data).

TP12 - Test Point: This header is test point for CS1(LED driver out for channel 1).

TP13 - Test Point: This header is test point for CS6(LED driver out for channel 6).

2.2 TPS61177AEVM Set-Up

Figure 2. TPS61177AEVM With USB2Any Board Connected

External power must be provided to the board. A standard USB to mini USB cable must be connected to

the USB2ANY from a PC. The I2C-compatible interface program provides all of the controls that the

TPS61177A device requires.

For proper operation:

• - USB2ANY should be plugged into the PC before the interface program is opened.

• - Install and execute the GUI program – installation guide will be followed below.

• - Power the evaluation board

2.2.1 Installation Guide for GUI Program (Windows7-Compatible)

• Execute setup_TPS61177A_EVM.exe file : If it is compressed in zip file format, unzip first in any

location.

• Select “Run” though Windows security warning message appears
