AL3158FSG RGBs-EVM

AL3158 Evaluation Module
HIGH EFFICIENCY CHARGE PUMP WHITE LED DRIVER
Device Features
Description
•
•
•
The AL3158 is a low noise, constant frequency
charge pump DC/DC converter that uses a dualmode load switch (1x), and (2x) conversion for white
LED applications. The AL3158 is capable of driving
three groups of three LED channels at 20mA from a
2.7V to 5.5V input. The current sinks may be
operated using three simple PWM dimming inputs
individually or in parallel for driving higher current
LEDs. Low external part counts (one 1μF flying
capacitor and two 2.2μF capacitors at VIN and VOUT)
make this part ideally suited for small,
battery-powered applications.

This evaluation board uses the AL3158’s three PWM
dimming inputs to enable and disable the device and
to control the current level of R, G and B elements of
the three color LEDs. Each PWM input controls three
LEDs of the same color. The PWM signals are
generated by an on-board microcontroller with three
push buttons for adjusting current levels.

Quick Start Guide
1. Insert jumper J11 to connect VIN to the AL3158 and J12 to connect VIN to the onboard PWM
controller.
2. Connect a +2.7V~+5.5V power supply between VIN (P1) and GND (P2) headers. Turn on the
power supply. The red power indicator LED (LED11) will be on.
3. The PWM controller will enter State 1, where three different PWM signals are sent to the AL3158 to
set the current levels of the three groups of LEDs, green, red and blue. Each group will be dimming
from bright to dark and from dark to bright, causing LED1-3 to show changing colors.
4. In State 1, the green LED10 will be blinking. Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons will change the
rate at which LED10 blinks and also change the dimming rate of the color LEDs.
5. Press the CYCLE button to move the PWM controller to the next state. Every time the controller
enters a new state between States 2 and 4, the corresponding LED group will be dimming
automatically while the other LEDs will stay at the current levels set in the previous States.
6. While in any state between State 2 and State 4, press the UP or DOWN button to stop
auto-dimming. Then use the UP button to manually increase the brightness of the LEDs and
DOWN button to decrease it. Press the CYCLE button again to resume auto-dimming of the same
color.
7. Press the CYCLE button while in State 4 will bring the PWM controller back to State 1.
8. Press and hold the CYCLE button at any time will force the PWM controller to enter State 0. In this
state, all color LEDs will be turned off. So will the green LED10. Press the CYCLE button in State 0
will change the PWM controller state to State 1 with all three color LED groups dimming in-synch,
resulting in white color.
9. In order to see only one of the three colors, do the following: (1) Do step 8 and then enter State 1.
(2) Follow step 4 to slow down the dimming rate. (3) Press the Cycle button while all color LEDs
are off so that State 2-4 can be entered with the LEDs of only one color on.
