STMicroelectronics STCF04TBR
The STCF04 is a dedicated and space optimized high efficiency solution for driving a flash LED module in camera phones, PDAs and other handheld devices using the SuperCap technology. It is based on a DC-DC buck-boost converter, which ensures proper and efficient charging control and monitoring of the SuperCap within the entire battery voltage range. The output current control ensures good current regulation over the forward voltage spread characteristics of the flash LEDs in torch and flash mode operation.FEATURES
