Texas Instruments LM36010 Synch-Boost Single-LED Flash Drivers

Texas Instruments LM36010 Synchronous-Boost, Ultra-Small LED Flash Driver offers a 1.5A high-side current source and a high level of adjustability. The LM36010 Ultra-Small LED Flash Driver produces up to 1.5A of LED flash current or up to 376mA of torch current with a solution size of 7mm². The 1.5A constant current LED source is powered by a 2MHz or 4MHz fixed-frequency, synchronous boost converter. The current source remains in regulation via an adaptive regulation method ensuring maximum efficiency. The regulation method controls the current from 11mA up to 1.5A in flash mode or from 2.4mA up to 376mA in torch mode. The I²C-compatible interface controls features on the LM36010, including hardware flash (STROBE) and 128 programmable currents for both flash and movie mode (torch). Low-profile, tiny inductors and ceramic capacitors are allowed through the 2MHz or 4MHz switching frequency, overvoltage protection (OVP), and adjustable current limit.
