1.2A White LED Regulating Charge Pump for Camera Flashes and Movie Lights
General Description
The MAX1577Y/MAX1577Z charge pumps drive white LEDs, including camera strobes, with regulated current up to 1.2A (guaranteed to 800mA). The very low openloop output resistance allows high flash brightness, even from a low battery input voltage. The adaptive 1x/2x regulating charge-pump operation provides high efficiency (up to 92%) while in movie mode or backlighting. Fast (1MHz) switching allows the use of tiny external components. The MAX1577Y/MAX1577Z use an external resistor to set the full-scale LED current.
