Description: 

The FAN5607 Evaluation Board is a compact circuit including the FAN5607 HMPX in a 4x4 MLP 

package and two 4.7uF capacitors which can provide stable input/output current for up to four of 

Fairchild’s super bright white LEDs.  Two 1uF bucket capacitors maintain constant current through the 

LEDs in different pump regulator modes.  The FAN5607 demo board, a completely assembled and tested 

surface mount board, provides easy probe access points to all inputs and outputs so that electrical 

characteristics and waveforms can be easily measured.  

Where To Begin: 

 1: 

Connect Battery (2.4 to 5.5V) and Gnd (0V). 

2:  Jumper JP5 presets the LED current to 20mA. Use the adjustable resistor POT1 to decrease 

the current. (Note: It is not advised to increase current beyond 20mA due to LED limitations) 

3:  Each LED current can be measured by removing jumpers JP1 through JP4 respectfully and 

applying a current meter. Observe that the LED current is constant regardless of Battery input 

voltage and that current is not affected by varying numbers of LEDs.  Observe that the supply 

current changes in steps when the battery voltage reaches the threshold of mode changes. 

(Note: Replacing the provided LEDs with other types can affect the input voltage threshold 

values where transition modes occur) 

4:   Adding resistor R1 by removing jumper JP6 reduces battery voltage ripple.   

5:  To verify supply current in “ON” and “OFF” modes, observe that in shutdown mode, supply 

current will drop below 1uA at Battery input.  

6:  To verify PWM dimming, remove ENABLE jumper and apply a PWM signal of 100Hz to ON   

(pin 2). Observe that the average LED current is directly proportional to the duty cycle.         

7:  To measure clock frequency, connect scope probe to bucket capacitors C1+, C1-, C2+   

and C2-

8:  Observe that the circuit is protected from open load conditions by verifying the output 

voltage Vout < 6V.
