3 Description
The LM3643 is a dual LED flash driver that provides
a high level of adjustability within a small solution
size. The LM3643 utilizes a 2-MHz or 4-MHz fixed-
frequency synchronous boost converter to provide
power to the dual 1.5-A constant current LED
sources. The total LED current the LM3643 boost can
deliver is 1.5 A (I_LED1 + I_LED2 ). The dual 128 level
current sources provide the flexibility to adjust the
current ratios between LED1 and LED2 with each
driver capable of delivering a maximum of 1.5 A (ex:
I_LED1 = 1.5 A and I_LED2 = 0FF, I_LED1 = 0FF and I_LED2 =
1.5 A, or a current configuration with a current less
than 1.5 A , I_LED1 = 950 mA and I_LED2 = 250 mA). An
adaptive regulation method ensures the current
sources remain in regulation and maximizes
efficiency.
Features of the LM3643 are controlled via an I²C-
compatible 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 independently
programmable currents in each output leg to drive the
LEDs in a Flash or 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.
