LTC3217
600mA Low Noise
Multi-LED Camera Light
Charge Pump
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3217 is a low noise charge pump DC/DC con-
verter designed to power four high current LEDs. The
LTC3217 requires only four small ceramic capacitors and
two current set resistors to form a complete LED power
supply and current controller.
Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush cur-
rent during start-up and mode changes. High switching
frequency enables the use of small external capacitors.
Independent high and low current settings are programmed
by two external resistors. Shutdown mode and current
output levels are selected via two logic inputs.
The current through the LEDs is programmed via I
SET1
and
I
SET2
. In addition, the brightness can be controlled by
pulse width modulation of the EN2 pin.
The charge pump optimizes efficiency based on the volt-
age across the LED current sources. The part powers up
in 1x mode and will automatically switch to boost mode
whenever any enabled LED current source begins to enter
dropout. The first dropout switches the part into 1.5x
mode and a subsequent dropout switches the part into 2x
mode. The LTC3217 resets to 1x mode whenever the part
is shut down.
The LTC3217 is available in a low profile 16-lead (3mm
×
3mm
×
0.75mm) QFN package.
