The PCB construction is a single layer of
printed copper. There is a solid aluminium
backing for heat dissipation. The material used
[1]
is Aismalibar Cobritherm™ or similar,
1.5mm Al, 110µm dielectric and 35µm
copper. It features 4 holes for M2.5 fixings if
required.
The board is fitted with a male 6-pin input
connector. This mates with any of the Diodes
Zetex Evaluation boards which are fitted with a
suitable socket. At the opposite end, a female
connector is fitted, to allow multiple LED
extensions as shown in the schematic below.

LEDC003
Description
A jumper link is used to allow connection of
the LED as the NEXT or LAST in the chain.
A further jumper link is provided to select
whether the thermistor on the board is
connected (position TH), or whether the
connection is passed to a board further down
the chain (PASSTH).
This demonstration circuit consists of a simple
connectable printed circuit board carrying a
®
CREE MX-6 lamp, a thermistor and switching
links. It allows the evaluation and testing of
attachable Zetex LED driver circuits with
varying numbers of series connected LEDs.

USAGE
There are two circuits on the board: the LED circuit and the thermistor circuit.
The input (PL1) and output (SK1) connector pins 1+2 and 5+6 are used for the LED, and 4 and 5 are
used for the thermistor.
LED circuit
If only one LED board is being used, or is the last in a chain of several boards, the jumper JP1 should
be inserted in the 'LAST' position. This connects the LED directly across pins 1+2 and 5+6 of input
connector PL1.
If several boards are being used in a chain, and the board concerned is not in the last position, the
jumper JP1 should be inserted in the 'NEXT' position. This connects the LED in series between pins
5+6 on the input connector PL1 and pins 5+6 on the output connector SK1.
It is not possible to configure the board for multiple LEDs in parallel.

Thermistor circuit
In cases where the thermistor is not required, the position of JP2 is irrelevant but it should be removed
if any other connections are made to pins 4 and 5 of PL1 or SK1.
If the thermistor is required, and only one LED board is being used, the jumper JP2 should be inserted
in the 'TH' position. This connects the thermistor directly across pins 3 and 4 of the input connector
PL1, thus making the thermistor 'active'.
If several boards are being used in a chain, the board on which the thermistor is required to be active
should be set with JP2 in the 'TH' position. All the other boards should be set with JP2 in
the 'THPASS' position. This disconnects the other thermistors and creates a direct link between pin
4 on the input connector PL1 and pin 4 on the output connector SK1.
It is not possible to configure the board for multiple thermistors in parallel.
