The circuit operates from 2.6V to 5.5V and delivers an adjustable 0 to 20mA to drive a series of up to six white LEDs in series. Evaluates: MAX1561 MAX1561 Evaluation Kit Changing the Number of LEDs Detailed Description The MAX1561 can be used to drive two to six LEDs. The MAX1561 EV kit comes configured for driving six LEDs. To evaluate the MAX1561 driving fewer than six LEDs, short out the pads of the unused LEDs. For convenience, JU2 can be used to short LEDs D2 and D3 for LED operation. Controlling LED Intensity LED intensity can be controlled using the CTRL input. CTRL can be used either as an analog input or a digital input. When using CTRL as an analog input, connect a 0.24V to 1.62V voltage source to CTRL, where 0.24V corresponds to the dimmest setting and 1.62V is full brightness. Connecting CTRL to ground places the MAX1561 in shutdown mode. A digital PWM signal (200Hz to 200kHz) can also be connected directly to CTRL. In this case, the duty cycle controls the brightness of the LEDs, where 0% corresponds to the dimmest setting and 100% is full brightness. A pullup resistor (R2) and jumper (JU1) are provided so that the EV kit can be used without a connection to CTRL. With JU1 shorted and no other connection to CTRL, the LEDs are set to full brightness. If CTRL is being driven, the shunt across JU1 can be removed. Remove the jumper across JU1 when measuring quiescent current with the circuit in shutdown mode. V+ Evaluating Other Inductors Inductors L2 and L3 are provided on the EV kit board to simplify evaluation of other inductors. To evaluate these inductors in the circuit, carefully remove L1 from the circuit and replace it with either L2 or L3.
