The AS3682 is a low-noise, high-current charge pump
designed for camera flash LEDs and LCD backlighting
applications. The device is capable of driving up to
480mA of load current.
The AS3682 integrates two independent LED blocks for
driving a single flash LED (CURR
11
to CURR
13
) with up
to 480mA, and general purpose LEDs (CURR
2
to
CURR
4
) with up to 160mA/LED. The general purpose
LEDs are controlled individually and can be used for
backlighting, but also in support of an RGB fun-light or a
movie indicator lamp.
The AS3682 utilizes austriamicrosystems' patent-pend-
ing Intelligent Adaptive Mode Setting (IAMS) to switch
between 1:1, 1:1.5, and 1: 2 modes. In combination with
very-low-drop-out current sinks, the device achieves
high efficiency over the full single-cell Li+ battery voltage
range. The charge pump operates at a fixed frequency
of 1MHz allowing for tiny external components and its
design ensures low EMI and low input-ripple.
The ultra-flexible brightness control scheme allows for
simple adaptation of the device to different system archi-
tectures.
In Normal and Soft Flash Modes the device is controlled
by an I
2
C interface. In these modes the LED brightness,
flash duration, GPIOs and various charge pump states
are controlled by internal register settings. The GPIO
pins can act as programmable input or output pins and
can also be set to trigger preview and flash light directly
by a camera module.
In Hard Flash Mode, the LED brightness is controlled by
the Enable pins. Those programming pins can be used
as simple enable pins, as PWM input, again offering
ample flexibility for setting the LED brightness.
