General Description
The ZXLD1370/1 EV4 1.5A board uses the Buck-
Boost topology working at Boundary
Conduction Mode. It can perform step-down or
boost up power conversion according to the
output LEDs load vs. input voltage. It is designed
for driving a high LED current from a wide range
voltage source. The board can operate from an
input supply between 10V and 30V and
provides an externally adjustable output
current of up to 1.5A. The ZXLD1370/1 EV4
board can provide more than 40 watts of
output power.
Key Features
Wide input voltage range: 10V to 30V
Up to 1.5A output current
Single pin on/off and brightness control
using DC voltage or PWM
Up to 1MHz switching frequency
±5% output current accuracy
Inherent open-circuit LED protection
High-Side Current Sense
Hysteretic Control: No Compensation
Adjustable output LED Current
TSSOP-16EP package for large output power
application

Quick Start Guide
1. By default, the evaluation board is preset at 1.5A LED current by R1 & R2.
2. Ensure that the DC source is switched OFF or disconnected.
3. Connect the 15V
power supply to two test points of “DC input” on the left side of the
DC
board.
4. Connect the anode wire of external LED string to LED+ output test point.
5. Connect the cathode wire of external LED string to LED- output test point.
6. Turn on the main switch. LED string should light up.
