LM3560 Datasheet, PDF (20/42 Pages) Texas Instruments – LM3560 Synchronous Boost Flash Driver w/ Dual 1A High-Side Current Sources (2A Total Flash Current)
To avoid noise from falsely triggering the NTC Comparator,
this mode incorporates a 250 µs de-glitch timer. With NTC
mode active, VLEDI/NTC must go below the trip point (VTRIP) and
remain below it for 250 µs before the LEDs are forced into
Torch mode (or shutdown) and the NTC Flag is written.
ALTERNATE EXTERNAL TORCH (AET MODE)
With Configuration Register 2 bit [2] set to '1', the LM3560 is
configured for AET mode, and the operation of TX1/TORCH
becomes dependent on its occurrence relative to the
STROBE input. In this mode, if TX1/TORCH goes high first,
then STROBE goes high, the LEDs are forced into Torch
mode with no timeout. In this mode, if TX1/TORCH goes high
after STROBE has gone high, then the TX1/TORCH pin op-
erates as a normal LED current interrupt (TX1), and the LEDs
will turn off at the end of the timeout duration (see Figure
11).

INPUT VOLTAGE MONITOR
The LM3560 has an internal comparator at IN which monitors
the input voltage and can force the LED current into Torch
mode or into shutdown if VIN falls below the programmable
VIN Monitor Threshold. Bit 0 in the VIN Monitor Register en-
ables or disables this feature. When enabled, Bits [2:1] pro-
gram the 4 adjustable thresholds of 2.9V, 3.0V, 3.1V, and
3.2V. Bit 3 in Configuration Register 2 selects whether a VIN
Monitor event forces Torch mode or forces LED1 and/or LED2
into shutdown. See Table 11 for additional information. When
the input voltage monitor is active, and VIN falls below the
programmed VIN Monitor threshold, the LEDs will either turn
off or be forced into the Torch current setting. To reset the
LED current to its previous level, two things must occur. First,
VIN must go above the VIN Monitor threshold, and the Flags
register must be read back. See Figure 12 for the VIN Monitor
Timing Waveform.
To avoid noise from falsely triggering the VIN Monitor, this
mode incorporates a 250 µs de-glitch timer. With the VIN
Monitor active, VIN must go below the VIN Monitor Threshold
(VIN_TH), and remain below it, for 250 µs before the LEDs are
forced into Torch mode (or shutdown) and the VIN Monitor
Flag is written.
