1 Introduction
The LP8866EVM helps designers to evaluate the characteristics, operation, and use of the LP8866-Q1
device, a high-performance LED driver for automotive lighting. The LP8866-Q1 device is a high-efficiency
LED driver with boost controller. The six 200-mA high-precision current sinks support phase shifting that is
automatically adjusted based on the number of channels in use. LED brightness can be controlled globally
through the I²C interface or PWM input.

• Up to 48-V Vout boost controller
• Six high-precision current sinks
• Supports built-in phase-shift PWM dimming, hybrid dimming, current dimming and direct PWM
dimming mode
• LED brightness controlled globally through I2C interface or PWM input
• Extensive fault diagnostics
1.2 Applications
Backlight for:
• Automotive infotainment
• Automotive instrument clusters
• Smart mirrors
• Heads-Up Displays (HUD)
• Central Information Displays (CID)
• Audio-Video Navigation (AVN)

2.4 Software Installation
Download the GUI software from the LP8866EVM tools folder. Follow the instructions to finish the GUI
installation. Once installed, a shortcut to the GUI is found on the desktop and also in the start-up menu
under the Texas Instruments folder.
2.5 Quick Start-Up Procedure
1. After the hardware is connected successfully, run the GUI software. Turn on the 12-V external power
supply. Select the right device variant of the EVM, which is LP8866, as shown in Figure 3.

2. Check the connection status button on the bottom left corner of the GUI. The button should be like the
one shown in Figure 3. There should be a "Hardware connected" message on the status bar next to the
button. If it shows "Hardware not Connected", click the button to connect to hardware manually. This
button can be used to connect or disconnect the GUI to the hardware during the evaluation.
3. Click "EXPLORE LP8866" to go to the LP8866EVM GUI home page (see Figure 4).

4. Click "Start" to go to the LED Control page (see Figure 5). On the LED Control page, the user can
control all the register based control functions of the device, like brightness control, current control, sloper
control, dither control, boost synchronization configuration and spread spectrum configuration.

2.6 Additional GUI Functions
In the selection tab on the left-hand side, the user can switch between LED Control, Monitor Faults,
Diagnostics and Register Map tabs. This section introduces GUI functions provided in the Monitor Faults,
Diagnostics and Register Map tabs.
2.6.1 Monitor Faults Page
From the Monitor Faults page (see Figure 6), the user has access to LP8866-Q1 fault status bits. Faults
can be cleared by software by clicking the "Clear All" button. Fault interrupt can be enabled or disabled
globally by toggling the "Interrupt All" button. Besides that, each fault interrupt and each fault status can be
controlled individually.

2.6.2 Diagnostics Page
From the Diagnostics page (see Figure 7), the user can read back the following diagnostics register
values and corresponding device status.
• FSM_LIVE_STATUS: current status of the functional state machine
• PWM_INPUT_STATUS: 16-bit value for detected duty cycle of PWM input signal
• PWM_OUTPUT_STATUS: 16-bit value for configured duty cycle of PWM output signal
• LED_CURRENT_STATUS: 12-bit current DAC code that brightness path is driving to OUT1-6 output
• VBOOST_STATUS: 11-bit boost voltage code that adaptive voltage control loop sending to analog
boost block
• AUTO_PWM_FREQ_SEL: LED PWM frequency value from PWM_SEL resistor detection
• AUTO_LED_STRING_CFG: LED string configuration from LED_SET resistor detection
• AUTO_BOOST_FREQ_SEL: boost switching frequency value from PWM_FSET resistor detection
• MODE_SEL: LED dimming mode value from MODE resistor detection

2.6.3 Register Map Page
Figure 8 shows the registers map page. All the registers are available on this page. When "Auto Read" is
set to other than "Off", all the registers will be read automatically and periodically according to the interval
time the user selects. Otherwise the user will need to click "READ REGISTER" to read the selected
register or to click "READ ALL REGISTERS" to read all registers.
Clicking on the row of a register automatically updates the corresponding field view on the right side of the
page. The register value can be updated by modifying the hexadecimal value in the "Value" column or by
double-clicking the corresponding bit in the "Bits" column. The modified value is effective immediately if
"Immediate Write" is selected. When "Deferred Write" is selected, the modified value won't take effect until
the user clicks "WRITE REGISTER" button. All registers' value can be updated together by clicking
"WRITE ALL REGISTERS".

2.7 Instructions for Standalone Evaluation
The LP8866EVM can be used for standalone evaluation (without GUI software and PC connection). To
support standalone mode, it must be modified from its default settings as described below:
1. Mount R20 to pull up EN input.
2. Change pullup and pulldown resistors to select spread spectrum enable (R18) or disable (R25) option.
3. Mount R19 to pull up PWM input for 100% brightness. If brightness needs to be changed from 100%,
connect external PWM source at PWM pin.
The minimum procedures for turning on the LEDs after modifications above are as follows:
1. Connect a 12-V external power supply between the power input terminals VBAT+ and GNDin on the
LP8866EVM.
2. Connect LP886X-LEDLAOD-EVM board (6 strings, 8 LEDs per string) to J10 on the LP8866EVM.
3. Turn on the external power supply.
