3 Description
The LM3648 is an LED flash driver that provides a high level of adjustability within a small solution size. The LM3648 utilizes a 2-MHz or 4-MHz fixedfrequency synchronous boost converter to provide power to the 1.5-A constant current LED source. An adaptive regulation method ensures the current source remains in regulation and maximizes efficiency.
Features of the LM3648 are controlled via an I2Cpatible interface. These features include: hardware flash and hardware torch pins (STROBE and TORCH/TEMP), a TX interrupt, and an NTC thermistor monitor. The device offers 64 programmable currents in Flash and 128 levels in Movie Mode (Torch) condition.
The 2-MHz or 4-MHz switching frequency options, overvoltage protection (OVP), and adjustable current limit allow for the use of tiny, low-profile inductors and (10-µF) ceramic capacitors. The device operates over a
- 40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range.
