DESCRIPTION
The SP6685 is a current-regulated charge pump ideal for powering high brightness LEDs for
camera flash applications. The charge pump can be set to regulate two current levels for
FLASH and TORCH modes. The SP6685 automatically switches modes between step-up
and step-down ensuring that LED current does not depend on the forward voltage. A low
current sense reference voltage (50mV) allows the use of small 0603 current sensing
resistors. The SP6685 is offered in the 10-pin DFN package.
