Hardware Overview

Figure 4 illustrates the position of these subsystems on the board. The use of a subsystem approach, for

different power stages, enables easy debug and testing of one stage at a time.

Powering the Board

The LED BoosterPack has three separate power domains and two major modes of operation: two power

domains are the primary power rails that feeds the three DC/DC power stages and the auxiliary power

supply rails that power all of the support chips, and is used to power the LaunchPad. The question of

which mode of operation should be used depends on whether the board is being used for evaluation or for

experimentation.

•

Non-Isolated – Used to quickly show how the boards function with the supplied firmware. Power for the

LaunchPad is supplied via the USB. Power for the LED BoosterPack is supplied via the included 12 V

AC/DC adapter. With this configuration, your PC’s USB port is connected to the same ground as both

the LaunchPad and LED BoosterPack.

–

Jumpers JP1, JP2, and JP3 on the LaunchPad should have jumpers placed on each post.
