3mm QFN
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3210-1 is a low noise charge pump DC/DC con-
verter designed to drive four MAIN LEDs and one high
current CAM LED for camera lighting. The LTC3210-1
requires only four small ceramic capacitors and two cur-
rent 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 MAIN and CAM full-scale current settings
are programmed by two external resistors.
Shutdown mode and current output levels are selected
via two logic inputs. ENM and ENC are toggled to adjust
the LED currents via internal counters and DACs. A 6-bit
linear DAC (64 steps) provides high resolution brightness
control for the MAIN display.
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 LTC3210-1 is available in a 3mm
×
3mm
16-lead QFN package. Standard (0.75mm) and ultra-thin
(0.55mm) package profiles are available.

Note 3:
The LTC3210-1 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C ambient
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.

Note 5:
If the part has been shut down then the initial enable time is about
100μs longer due to the bandgap enable time.
