LED Light Management IC in
2.5mm x 2.5mm UCSP
General Description
The MAX8830 light management IC integrates a 400mA
(guaranteed) PWM DC-DC step-up converter, a 320mA
white LED camera flash current sink, and four program-
mable LED current sinks. The internal 1MHz step-up
converter features an internal switching MOSFET and
synchronous rectifier to improve efficiency and minimize
external component count. The camera flash output cur-
rent and maximum timer is programmable through I
2
C.
Each LED current is individually regulated to a program-
mable level (from off to 10mA in 32 steps) and is com-
pletely independent of each other.
An I
2
C interface controls individual on/off of all outputs,
step-up output voltage setting, movie/flash current,
flash timer duration settings, and individual LED current
sink settings.
The MAX8830 is available in a 16-bump UCSP™ pack-
age (2.5mm x 2.5mm).

*This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device can be
exposed to during board level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder profiles recommended in the
industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and Convection reflow. Preheating is required.
Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Current Accuracy
Note 1:
All devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed by design.
Note 2:
LED current sink dropout voltage is defined as the voltage at which current drops 10% from the current level measured at 0.6V.
Note 3:
Flash duration is from rising edge of FLEN until I
FLED
turns off (or returns to the movie current setting if MVON is high).
Note 4:
The MAX8830 step-up converter IN supply current is tested in an open-loop configuration with no inductor. Actual closed-
loop IN supply current is higher due to conduction losses in the inductor and LX nFET and pFET. These additional losses are
highly dependent on inductor value and series resistance.
