2.4 RGB LED Driver PCB - DLP4620SQ1

The DLP4620SQ1EVM can operate as a standalone system with just the controller board and the DMD board, but the EVM can be combined with an RGB LED design. The LED driver board shown in Figure 3-6 is controlled and monitored by the controller PCB over a flex cable. Power can be input to the LED driver board from a bench top supply or through a 12V, 5A barrel jack power supply. Depending on operating conditions, some parts and surfaces of the PCB can be hot.

The LED driver board has the following primary functions:

  • Provides reverse bias protection and supplies power to controller board over a separate cable.
  • Regulates input power to 6.5V or 8V prior to the LED driver circuitry.
  • Has outputs for red, green, and blue LEDs, but other LEDs can be used.
CAUTION:
GUID-4C36832A-5C67-460B-94B5-813E05DCCD40-low.gif

The LED driver board can reach temperatures above 55°C without proper cooling and airflow. Contact can cause burns!
CAUTION:

LED drivers (J5, J6, J7) can produce high currents of 6.5A or 8A. Do not remove these headers, and do not touch the contact points during operation!

The LED driver PCB contains the ports listed in Table 3-7.

J6 Green LED output - high current output up to 6A, locking and keyed connector
J7 Red LED output - high current output up to 6A, locking and keyed connector

The LED driver PCB contains the headers listed in Table 3-8. H2 selects the LED drive voltage. Place a jumper across pins 1 and 2 for 6.5V drive. Place a jumper across pins 2 and 3 for 8V drive. Do not hot-swap this jumper; remove and replace only with power disconnected from the board.
