3mm QFN
Description
The LTC
®
3210 is a low noise charge pump DC/DC converter
designed to drive four MAIN LEDs and one high current
CAM LED for camera lighting. The LTC3210 requires only
four small ceramic capacitors and two current set resis-
tors 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.
The full-scale current through the LEDs is programmed
via external resistors. ENM and ENC are toggled to adjust
the LED currents via internal counters and DACs. The
part is shut down when both ENM and ENC are low for
150µs (typ).
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 en-
ter dropout. The LTC3210 is available in a 3mm

16-lead QFN package.

The LTC3210E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.

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