LTC3216
1A Low Noise High Current
LED Charge Pump with
Independent Torch/Flash Current Control
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
廬
3216 is a low noise, high current charge pump
DC/DC converter designed to power high current LEDs.
The part includes an accurate programmable current
source capable of driving loads up to 1A from a 2.9V to
4.4V input. Low external parts count (two flying capaci-
tors, two programming resistors and two bypass capaci-
tors at V
IN
and CPO) make the LTC3216 ideally suited for
small, battery-powered applications.
Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush cur-
rent during start-up. High switching frequency enables the
use of small external capacitors. Independent high and
low current settings are programmed by two external
resistors. Shutdown mode and current output levels are
selected via two logic inputs.
An ultralow dropout current source maintains accurate
LED current at very low I
LED
voltages. Automatic mode
switching optimizes efficiency by monitoring the voltage
across the LED current source and switching modes only
when I
LED
dropout is detected. The LTC3216 is available in
a small 3mm
脳
4mm 12-Lead DFN package.
