9.1
PWR_ON
When set, it activates all analog and power internal blocks including the NTC supporting
circuit, and the device is ready to operate (ready mode). As long as PWR_ON=0, only the
I²C interface is active, minimizing Stand-by Mode power consumption.
9.2
TRIG_EN
This bit is AND-ed with the TRIG pin to generate the internal signal FL_ON that activates
flash mode. By this way, both soft-triggering and hard-triggering of the flash are made
possible. If soft-triggering (through I²C) is chosen, the TRIG pin is not used and must be
kept HIGH (VI). If hard-triggering is chosen, then the TRIG pin has to be connected to a µP
I/O devoted to flash timing control, and the TRIG_EN bit must be set in advance. Both
triggering modes can benefit of the internal flash time counter, that uses the TRIG_EN bit
and can work either as a safety shut-down timer or as a flash duration timer. flash mode can
start only if PWR_ON=1. LED current is controlled by the value set by the FDIM_0~3 of the
DIM_REG.
9.3
TCH_ON
When set from Ready mode, the STCF06 enters the torch mode. The LED current is
controlled by the value set by the TDIM_0~3 of the DIM_REG.
9.4
22/33
NTC_ON
In ready mode, the comparators that monitor the LED temperature are activated if NTC_ON
bit is set. NTC-related blocks are always active regardless of this bit in torch mode and flash
mode.
