LM3554
SNVS549C –JUNE 2009–REVISED FEBRUARY 2016
LM3554 Synchronous Boost Converter With 1.2-A Dual High-Side LED Drivers and I2C-
Compatible Interface
1 Features
3 Description
The LM3554 is a 2-MHz fixed-frequency, current-
mode synchronous boost converter. The device is
designed to operate as a dual 600-mA (1.2 A total)
constant-current driver for high-current white LEDs, or
as a regulated 4.5-V or 5-V voltage source.
The main features include: an I2C-compatible
interface for controlling the LED current or the desired
output voltage, a hardware flash enable input for
direct triggering of the flash pulse, and dual TX inputs
which force the flash pulse into a low-current torch
mode allowing for synchronization to RF power
amplifier events or other high-current conditions.
Additionally, an active high hardware enable (HWEN)
input provides a hardware shutdown during system
software failures.

Hardware Flash and Torch Enable
Five protection features are available within the
LM3554 including a software selectable input voltage
monitor, an internal comparator for interfacing with an
external temperature sensor, four selectable current
limits to ensure the battery current is kept below a
predetermined peak level, an overvoltage protection
feature to limit the output voltage during LED open
circuits, and an output short circuit protection which
limits the output current during shorts to GND.
