Description
Features
The SC615 is a high-current charge pump designed spe- 500mA Output Current - Flash Mode
cifically for use with white LEDs used in camera flash 3.0V to 5.25V Input Range
applications. Only two small bucket capacitors are re- Two Selectable Modes - Flash and Spotlight
quired to develop the output drive, providing a low EMI External Flash Control Pin for Synchronization to a
solution compared to inductive boost regulators.
Camera Module or Graphics Controller
Spotlight Mode Current Setting - 100mA
The SC615 has two modes of operation: Flash mode Short Circuit, Over-Voltage, and Over-Temperature
and Spotlight mode. The SC615 is capable of delivering Protection
500mA of peak current for a duration of 500ms in Flash Soft-Start Functionality
mode. In Spotlight mode the SC615 outputs 100mA Two Control Inputs for Maximum Versatility
and can remain enabled continuously.
Shutdown Current < 2µA
Micro Lead-frame Package MLPD-10, 3mm x 3mm
A minimum 0.5Ω sense resistor is used to set the cur-
rent through the LED in both modes. This resistor dissi-
pates up to 0.125W, reducing the power dissipation re-
quirement of the SC615. The flash input (FLASH) over-
rides the control input (CTRL) to make sure the flash func-
tion is activated when called for.
Applications
Mobile Camera Phones
Digital Cameras
PDAs with Built-in Cameras
Multi-LED Backlit LCDs
The thermally efficient MLPD-10 package and ceramic
bypass and bucket capacitors help make the SC615 a
high output current driver that requires a minimal amount
of PCB area.
