About this document
Scope and purpose
The purpose of the TLD2252-2EP rear combination lamp evaluation board (TLD2252-2_RCL_EVAL) board is to
help designers evaluate the features and the performance of the TLD2252-2EP, a two-channel linear current
source LED driver for automotive LED lighting applications. TLD2252-2EP provides a simple and compact
solution for the implementation of a rear combination lamp (RCL).
This user manual provides the usage instructions of the TLD2252-2 _RCL_ EVAL board (schematic version S00,
PCB version P00).

TLD2252-2_RCL_EVAL description
1 TLD2252-2_RCL_EVAL description
The TLD2252-2_RCL_EVAL is an evaluation board equipped with one LITIX™ Basic+ TLD2252-2EP and on-board
LEDs for easy evaluation of an RCL application when realized with use of the TLD2252-2EP pulse width
modulation (PWM) engine.
The board can be used within the typical automotive voltage range, 8 V to 16 V. It gives the user the freedom to
evaluate all of the TLD2252-2EP features and possible configurations by setting the necessary jumpers
accordingly.
As the PWM-engine of LITIX™ Basic+ TLD2252-2EP can be used to drive other LITIX™ Basic+ devices, the
TLD2252-2_RCL_EVAL board can be used in combination with the BASICPLUS_DEMOBOARD for combined
family evaluation.

The TLD2252-2_RCL_EVAL board jumpers are described in Table 3.
Table 3 TLD2252-2_RCL_EVAL board jumpers
Description and configuration
Sets the output current of OUT1:
• RIN_SET1_1 (36.5 kΩ): sets the output current to 10 mA
• RIN_SET1_2 (7.32 kΩ): sets the output current to 50 mA
PWM output enable:
• IN_SET1: enables PWM at OUT1
• IN_SET2: enables PWM at OUT2
Sets the output current of OUT2:
• RIN_SET2_1 (14.7 kΩ): sets the output current to 50 mA
• RIN_SET2_2 (7.32 kΩ): sets the output current to 100 mA
Activate the device and diagnosis for OUT2:
• EN1/DEN1: use the resistor divider on EN1/DEN1 (REN1/DEN1_1) to activate OUT2
• EN2/DEN2: use separate resistor divider EN1/DEN1 (REN1/DEN1_1) to activate
OUT2. During tail function (board supplied via VS_TAIL), place jumper on
EN1/DEN1 position
On board load connection
• OUT1: connects OUT1 to on-board load
• OUT2: connects OUT2 to on-board load
Diagnosis management
• GND: when a fault is detected only the channel under fault condition will be
deactivated. The error will be communicated via ERRN

Description and configuration
• Open: when a fault is detected both channels will switch off
• CD: when a fault is detected both channels will switch off after a delay time t
D(set)
.
Delay time is set by CD capacitor
PWMI connection
• CPWMI1 (120 nF): sets the PWM frequency to 220 Hz and duty cycle 10%
• CPWMI2 (68 nF): sets the PWM frequency to 400 Hz and duty cycle 10%
• GND: duty cycle is 100%
The duty cycle is set by the RPWM_SET (4.53 kΩ) and RPWM_RST (41.2 kΩ) resistors
On board load connection
• OUT1: connects OUT1 to on-board load. Leave open to connect to external load
• OUT2: connects OUT2 to on-board load. Leave open to connect to external load
