Demonstration circuit 1187 is an RGB LED Driver and Charge Pump featuring the LTC3212. The LTC3212 is a low noise boost charge pump capable of driving three LEDs at up to 25mA each. The charge pump operates in either 1x or 2x mode, with automatic mode switching. Individual current sources allow each LED to be turned on individually, in combination with the other LEDs, or in white mode using a single wire interface. The demo board input voltage range is 2.7V to 5.5V. White mode optimizes the red, green, and blue current settings to provide the best white color. LED currents are regulated using internal low dropout current sources. Automatic mode switching optimizes efficiency by switching modes only when a dropout is detected.

Demonstration circuit 1406A features three LT3746's, a 32-channel 20mA LED driver with buck controller and serial interface. The three LT3746’s are connected in series to control 32 OSRAM RGB LEDs stuffed on the demo board. Each IC drives a separate color. The demo board input voltage range is 9V to 40V and the LED output voltage is 4.2V for the blue and green LEDs, and 3V for the red LEDs. Each channel has an individually adjustable 12-bit (4096-step) grayscale PWM dimming control and a 6-bit (64-step) dot correction current adjustment.  Individual open/short LED and overtemperature flags are sent back during status read-back.  The evaluation software installed in a host computer communicates with the DC1406A via the interface board DC590B, an USB serial controller.
