General Description
The Atmel® compact,
6-channel LED driver board is a
complete LED backlight driver
solution using the Atmel LED
Driver-MSL1061 LED driver
for medium-sized LCD panels.
Each channel drives up to 12
series-connected LEDs at up to
30mA per channel. The diver
board is configured to operate
from 3.3V up to 28V. The fullscale LED current is preset to
15, 20, 25, or 30mA per LED
string, selected by an onboard
switch. Current can be
reduced from full-scale through
the I2C serial interface in 16
linear steps. Digital (PWM)
dimming is available through
an external signal or by using
the internal PWM generator via
the serial interface.
2
The optional microcontroller board and graphical user interface (GUI)
software allow control of the driver board through a personal computer. This
gives access to the internal features of the MSL1061, including fault detection,
digital control of LED current, individual LED string on/off control, and internally
generated PWM dimming.
The compact six-channel LED driver board is intended for evaluation,
prototyping, or production runs. Gerber files and Cadence OrCAD layout files
are available to allow the circuit to be integrated into a larger system for large
production runs.

Detailed Description
The MSLB9061 is a standalone, six-channel LED driver board suitable for integration into small production devices. It
includes an I2C serial interface for accessing the digital features of the MSL1061 LED driver. Onboard switches set the I2C
slave address to one of four available addresses and the full-scale LED current to 30, 25, 15, or 10mA.
Input Power
The MSLB9061 board is powered from input voltages ranging from 3.3 up to 28V, and the integral boost regulator
power is separate, allowing operation with separate bias and power input voltages for improved efficiency or operation
from a single input power source for simplicity. Full power is available for power (PWR) input voltage greater than
6.5V.
Atmel LED Driver-MSLB9061
7
Single Input Voltage Configuration
The MSLB9061 board can be powered from a single
input voltage source. The configuration depends on the
input voltage range. The three available configurations
are:
•• Input voltage between 5.5V and 28V. Apply the
input voltage to the PWR and HVBIAS inputs,
J2 pins 1, 2, and 3, simultaneously. Leave BIAS
and DOUBLE, J2 pins 4 and 5, unconnected. Full
power is available in this configuration with an
input voltage greater than 6.5V.
•• Input voltage between 4.5V and 6V. Apply the
input voltage to the PWR, HVBIAS, and BIAS
inputs, J2 pins 1, 2, 3, and 4, simultaneously.
Leave DOUBLE, J2 pin 5, unconnected. Full
power is not available in this configuration.
•• Input voltage between 3.1V and 3.6V. Apply the
input voltage to the PWR and DOUBLE inputs, J2
pins 1, 2, and 5. Connect the BIAS and HVBIAS
inputs, J2 pins 3 and 4, together, but do not
apply voltage. Full power is not available in this
configuration.
Separate Power and Bias Input Configuration
The MSLB9061 board can be powered from separate
power and bias input voltage sources. With input
8
bias voltage below the input power voltage, power
dissipation is reduced for improved power efficiency. In
all cases, apply the power input voltage to the PWR
inputs, J2 pins 1 and 2. Full output power is available for
an input voltage greater than 6.5V. The three available
bias configurations are:
•• 5.5V to 28V bias input voltage. Connect the bias
voltage to the HVBIAS input, J2 pin 3. Leave
BIAS and DOUBLE inputs, J2 pins 4 and 5,
unconnected.
•• 4.5V to 6V bias input voltage. Connect the bias
voltage to the HVBIAS and BIAS inputs, J2 pins 3
and 4, simultaneously. Leave DOUBLE, J2 pin 5,
unconnected.
•• 3.1V to 3.6V bias input voltage. Connect the
bias voltage to DOUBLE, J2 pin 5. Connect
the HVBIAS and BIAS inputs, J2 pins 3 and 4,
together, but do not apply voltage.
I2C Serial Interface
The MSLB9061 driver board uses an I2C/SMBus serial
interface for digital LED control and fault detection.
Four slave ID addresses are available, and are selected
by the I2C address selection switch. The addresses are
shown in Table 4.

Atmel LED Driver-MSLB9061
LED Driver Module
Compact, 6-channel LED Driver Board with I2C Interface
On/Off (EN) Control Input
The on/off control Input, pin 9 of input connector J2, turns on/off the LED driver. Drive it high (between 2.3 and 5V)
to turn on the LED driver, and drive it low (0 to 0.8V) to turn it off. The on/off control input is internally pulled up by a
100kΩ resistor. For automatic start-up, leave it unconnected.
PWM Control Input
The input connector, J2, pin 10, is the PWM control input. Drive PWM with a digital signal to pulse-width modulate
(PWM) the LED brightness. When using the internal PWM generator, the PWM input signal is ignored. The PWM
input is pulled high through a 100kΩ resistor. If not used, leave PWM unconnected or drive it high.
Fault Indicator Output
The MSL1061 includes fault detection circuitry that detects an open-circuited LED string or an LED string with one or
more short-circuited LEDs. If any fault is detected, the fault indicator output is driven low. Use this output as an alert
signal to a system controller. Once the controller gets the alert signal, it determines which LED is faulty by reading the
STATUS, OCSTATUS, and SCSTATUS registers through the I2C serial interface.
Connecting the LEDs to the Atmel LED Driver-MSLB9061 LED Driver
The MSLB9061 driver board drives LED arrays with up to six parallel strings of up to 12 series LEDs each through the
output connector, J3. Six connections for LED cathode connections allow the use of separate LED strings, or commonanode-connected LED strings. Connect unused LED cathode string connections (J3 pins 9-14) to GND to disable that
LED string. J3 pins 1-8 are provided for this purpose so that unused string cathode connections are connected to GND
through the wiring harness.
Setting the Full-Scale LED Current
The MSL1061 regulates the LED string current. The LED string current is set by a current sense resistor. Four different
values are programmed to the MSLB9061 LED driver module, and the switch S2 selects one of those resistors to set the
full-scale per-string LED current to 10mA, 15mA, 25mA or 30mA. Table 6 shows the switch settings and the full-scale
per-string LED current for each setting.

Driving LEDs with Greater than 30mA LED Current
The maximum current available from each LED driver is 30mA. When using LEDs that require greater than 30mA,
connect multiple LED drivers in parallel to drive a single LED string. The LED string current is the sum of the LED driver
currents. Table 7 shows a list of the higher currents that can be supported by this board.
