LM2759 PRODUCT BRIEF
1A Switched Capacitor Flash LED Driver with I2C
Compatible Interface
General Description
Features
LM2759 is an integrated low-noise, high-current switched ca-
pacitor DC/DC converter with a regulated current source. The
device requires only four small ceramic capacitors making the
total solution area less than 22 mm2 and the height less than
1 mm. The LM2759 is capable of driving loads up to 1A from
a single-cell Li-Ion battery. Maximum efficiency is achieved
over the input voltage range by actively selecting the proper
gain based on the LED forward voltage and current require-
ments.

Accurate Input Current Control During Gain Transitions
Flash Time-Out
The LED current can be programmed up to 1A via an I2C-
compatible interface, along with eight selectable Flash Time-
Out durations. One high-current Flash LED can be driven
either in a high-power Flash mode or a low-power Torch
mode. The Strobe pin allows the flash to be toggled via a
Flash enable signal from a camera module. The TX input pin
limits the Flash LED current to the Torch current level during
a RF PA pulse, to reduce high loads on the battery. Internal
soft-start circuitry limits the amount of inrush current during
start-up.
