NSC LM3554

LM3554 PRODUCT BRIEF
Synchronous Boost Converter with 1.2A Dual High Side
LED Drivers and I2C Compatible Interface
General Description
Features
The LM3554 is a 2 MHz fixed frequency, current mode synchronous boost converter. The device is designed to operate
as a dual 600mA (1.2A total) constant current driver for high
current white LEDs, or as a regulated 4.5V or 5V voltage
source.
The dual high side current sources allow for grounded cathode LED operation. An adaptive regulation method ensures
the current source for each LED remains in regulation and
maximizes efficiency.
The main features include: an I2C compatible interface for
controlling the LED current or the desired output voltage, a
hardware Flash enable input for direct triggering of the Flash
pulse, and dual TX inputs which force the Flash pulse into a
low current Torch mode allowing for synchronization to RF
power amplifier events or other high current conditions. Additionally, an active high hardware enable (HWEN) input provides a hardware shutdown during system software failures.
Five protection features are available within the LM3554 including a software selectable input voltage monitor, an internal comparator, for interfacing with an external temperature
sensor, four selectable current limits to ensure the battery
current is kept below a predetermined peak level, an overvoltage protection feature to keeps the output voltage below
the OVP threshold in case of an open LED, and an output
short circuit protection which limits the output current during
an output short to GND. Additionally, the device provides various fault indicators including: a thermal fault flag indicating
the LED temperature has tripped the thermal threshold, a flag
indicating a TX event has occured, a flag indicating the flash
timeout counter has expired, a flag indicating the devices die
temperature has reached the thermal shutdown threshold,
and a flag indicating an open or short LED.
