1.1.2 Illumination Driver PCB

The illumination driver PCB shown in Figure 1-2 is controlled and monitored by the controller PCB over a flex cable. Power can be input to the illumination driver from a bench top supply. The illumination driver provides reverse bias protection and supplies power to the controller PCB over a separate cable. The illumination driver PCB regulates the input power to 6.5V or 8V prior to the illumination driver circuitry. The illumination driver has outputs for red, green and blue illuminators. These are typically LEDs, but other possible illuminators can be used. See Section 1.2.1 for input and output specifications of the EVM. Depending on operating conditions, some parts and surfaces of the PCB can be hot.

CAUTION:

Hot surface. Contact can cause burns. Do not touch!

SCHEMATIC REFERENCE FUNCTION
J1 Input power
J2 Input power (optional)
J3 Controller power
J4 Controller-driver control interface
J5 Blue illumination output - high current output up to 6A, locking and keyed connector
J6 Green illumination output - High current output up to 6A, locking and keyed connector
J7 Red illumination output - High current output up to 6A, locking and keyed connector

The illumination driver PCB contains the headers listed in Table 1-5. H2 selects the illumination drive voltage. Place a jumper across pins 1 and 2 for 6.5V drive. Place a jumper across pins 2 and 3 for 8V drive. Do not hot-swap this jumper, remove or replace only with power disconnected from the board.
