CAT4201 LED Driver Evaluation Board Manual
INTRODUCTION
This document describes the CAT4201EVAL2
evaluation board for the CAT4201 high efficiency
step-down LED driver. Boards equipped with a 9V
battery and separate LED module can be used for
demonstrations (see Figure 1).
The CAT4201 is a high efficiency step-down LED
driver from Catalyst Semiconductor. This device is
designed to drive high brightness LEDs up to 350mA
from a power supply up to 28V. The LED brightness is
controlled by a single resistor from the RSET pin to
GND. Analog dimming and idle mode control are
available through the CTRL input. An external circuit
is provided on the CAT4201EVAL2 for PWM dimming.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
The CAT4201EVAL2 board has two modes of
operation. The first is normal operation and the second
is operation with PWM dimming. Normal operation is
set by placing jumper J1 in the right side position with
pins 2 and 3 tied together. In this mode, the CTRL pin
is pulled up to the LED cathode (LED-). The LED(s) will
be at full brightness as long as the CTRL pin is greater
than 3V. LED current can be set from 70mA to 350mA
by adjusting potentiometer R2.
To set the board for PWM dimming, jumper J1 should
be placed in the left side position with pins 1 and 2
tied together. A PWM signal can be applied to the
PWM pin to dim the LED brightness. The amplitude of
the PWM signal should be greater than 1V.
DEVICE DEMONSTRATION
To set up the CAT4201EVAL2 for demonstrations, the
board should be configured for normal operation with
a 9V battery securely placed in the holder. A separate
LED module should also be plugged into the 6-pin
connector, as shown in Figure 1. To turn on the LED,
press and hold the POWER button. The LED will turn
off once the button is released.

Test Procedure for the CAT4201AGEVB Evaluation Board
Introduction
This document describes the test procedure for the CAT4201 evaluation board. The test
procedure must be followed step-by step in order to verify that the evaluation board is
fully functional.
Test set-up
The CAT4201 evaluation board must have the jumper J1 installed between pins 2 and 3
(right position).
The test set-up uses the LED module plugged into the CAT4201 evaluation board.
The LED current is measured by removing the LED module jumper J2 and connecting
an ammeter (A) between those two pins, see figure below.
