About this document
Scope and purpose
The scope of the TLD1211SJ_EVAL (evaluation) board is to help designers evaluate the performance of the
LITIX™ Linear TLD1211SJ, a single channel linear current source LED driver for automotive LED lighting
applications. The LITIX™ Linear TLD1211SJ provides a simple and low-cost solution for low current applications
up to 85 mA. When using additional external power stages as “booster” transistors, it can also be used to drive
high currents up to 2.5 A.
This user manual provides the usage instructions of the TLD1211SJ_EVAL board (schematic version
S00, PCB version P00).
