INTRODUCTION 
The ADM8843 Evaluation Board allows the ADM8843 Charge 
Pump Driver for LCD white LED backlights to be quickly and 
easily evaluated. 
The evaluation board allows all of the input and output 
functions to be exercised without the need for external 
components. 
ADM8843 GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The following gives a brief description of the ADM8843 and the 
evaluation board hardware overview. Further information can 
be found in the data sheet for the device. 
The ADM8843 provides the power required to drive up to 4 
white LEDs, using charge pump technology. The LEDs are used 
for backlighting a color LCD display. To maximize power 
efficiency, a charge pump that can operate in either a 1x, 1.5x or 
2x  mode  is  used.  The  charge  pump  automatically  switches 
between 1x/1.5x/2x modes based on the input voltage, to 
maintain correct output levels at a high power efficiency. 
Improved brightness matching of the LEDs is achieved by the 
use of a feedback pin to sense individual LED current with a 
typical I
LED
 to I
LED
 matching accuracy of 0.3%. 
 
The ADM8843 provides two digital input control pins, CTRL1 
and CTRL2, which control the operation and the brightness of 
the LEDs. The ADM8843 is configured with a sub and main 
display, the main display refers to 3 of the 6 LEDs (FB1 – FB3) 
and the sub display refers to the remaining  LED (FB54). 
The ADM8843 provides the option to control the brightness of 
the LEDs with a digital PWM signal. The duty cycle of the 
PWM signal determines the brightness of the backlight LEDs.  
Brightness control of the LEDs can also be controlled by a DC 
voltage. The ADM8843 has soft-start circuitry to limit inrush 
current flow at power up.  
The ADM8843 is fabricated using CMOS technology for 
minimal power consumption. The part is packaged in a 16-lead 
LFCSP (Lead Frame Chip Scale Package).
