LM3553 1.2A Dual Flash LED Driver System with I2C Compatible Interface General Description Features The LM3553 is a fixed frequency, current mode step-up DC/ DC converter with two regulated current sinks. The device is capable of driving loads up to 1.2A from a single-cell Li-Ion battery. One or more high current flash LEDs can be driven in series either in a high power Flash mode or a lower power Torch mode controlled by either an internal register or the FEN pin. Additionally a low current (20mA) indicator mode and a fixed output voltage mode are also available. The LM3553 has 128 current levels and 16 flash safety timer durations that are user adjustable via an I2C compatible interface. Internal soft-start eliminates large inrush currents at start-up. Over-voltage protection circuitry and 1.2MHz switching frequency allow for the use of small, low-cost output capacitors with lower voltage ratings. The LM3553 includes a TX pin that forces Torch mode during a flash event allowing for synchronization between the RF power amplifier and Flash/Torch modes. It also includes a multi-function pin (M/F) that can serve as a GPIO and a hardware RESET pin. The LM3553 is available in National's 3mm by 3mm LLP12 package. ■ Accurate and Programmable LED Current up to 1.2A in ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 128 Steps Total Solution Size < 30mm2 90% Peak Efficiency Drives 2 LEDs in Series with 1.2A from 5V Input Drives 2 LEDs in Series with 600mA from 3.0V Input Drives 1 LED with 1.2A from 3.0V Input Adjustable Over-Voltage Protection Allows for Single or Series LED Operation Four Operating Modes: Torch, Flash, Indicator, and Voltage Mode (4.98V) Programmable Flash Pulse Safety Timer in 16 Steps TX Input Ensures Synchronization with RF Power Amplifier Pulse or Prevents LED from Overheating LED Disconnect During Shutdown Flash/Imager Synchronization via FEN Pin Active Low Hardware Reset Multi-Function Pin (RESET and GPIO) Low Profile 12-pin LLP Package (SDF12A: 3mm x 3mm x 0.8mm, 0.4mm pitch) Applications ■ Camera Phone LED Flash ■ Smartphone and PDA Flash ■ LED Backlight Typical Application Circuits 20171419 Solution Size 20171415 © 2008 National Semiconductor Corporation 201714 www.national.com LM3553 1.2A Dual Flash LED Driver System with I2C Compatible Interface March 6, 2008 LM3553 Connection Diagram 20171416 Pin Descriptions Pin Name Function 4 VIN Input Voltage.

Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics tables. Note 2: All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin. Note 3: Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ=140ºC (typ.) and disengages at TJ=120ºC (typ.). Note 4: For detailed soldering specifications and information, please refer to National Semiconductor Application Note: AN-1187 for Recommended Soldering Profiles. Note 5: The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. (MIL-STD-883 3015.7) Note 6: In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP = 125ºC), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX). Note 7: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly application and board-layout dependent. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design. www.national.com 4 Note 9: All testing for the LM3553 is done open-loop. 5 www.national.com LM3553 Note 8: Min and Max limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis.

When the TX pin is driven high (logic '1') during a flash pulse, the LM3553 will switch to the programmed torch current level. Once the TX pin is driven low (logic '0'), the LM3553 will return to the flash current if this event occurs within the original flash duration. It is recommended that an external pull-down be placed between the TX pin and GND to prevent unwanted LED flashing during system start-up due to unknown control logic states. Circuit Description CIRCUIT COMPONENTS FEN Pin The flash enable pin, FEN, provides an external method (nonI2C) for starting the flash pulse. When FEN is pulled high, logic '1', the flash current level defined through the I2C interface, will be delived to the Flash LED. If the FEN pin is driven low during the flash pulse, the flash event will stop. In the event that FEN is not pulled low during the flash pulse, the LM3553 will continue to deliver the flash current until the safety timer duration (set through the I2C interface) is reached. The LM3553 does not provide a fixed off-time after the flash pulse has ended. Most flash LED manufacturers require that the flash pulse duration be 10% of the total Flash cycle. Example: If the flash pulse duration is set to be 200 milliseconds (Flash Duration Code= 0011), the recommended off time for the LED would be 1.8 seconds. Please consult the LED manufacturers datasheet for exact timing requirements. If the LM3553 is placed in indicator mode or torch mode through the I2C interface and the FEN pin is pulled high and then low, at the end of the flash event, the LM3553 will return to the mode stored in the General Purpose Register. It is recommended that an external pull-down be placed between the FEN pin and GND to prevent unwanted LED flashing during system start-up due to unknown control logic states. www.national.com M/F Pin The multi-function pin (M/F) can be configured to provide hardware RESET or a general purpose input/output (GPIO). All functionality is programmed through the I2C compatible interface and set in the M/F pin functionality control register (address 0x20). The default function is a RESET, where a logic '1' places the part in the normal operating mode, and a logic '0' places the part into a RESET state. A reset condition will place all LM3553 registers into their default states. 8 Typical System Configuration 20171433 I2C Compatible Interface DATA VALIDITY The data on SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock signal (SCL). In other words, the state of the data line can only be changed when CLK is LOW. 20171412 FIGURE 2. Start and Stop Conditions TRANSFERRING DATA Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) being transferred first. Each byte of data has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. The acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the master. The master releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse. The LM3553 pulls down the SDA line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. The LM3553 generates an acknowledge after each byte has been received. After the START condition, the I2C master sends a chip address. This address is seven bits long followed by an eighth bit which is a data direction bit (R/W). The LM3553 address is 53h. For the eighth bit, a “0” indicates a WRITE and a “1” indicates a READ. The second byte selects the register to which the data will be written. The third byte contains data to write to the selected register. 20171404 FIGURE 1. Data Validity Diagram A pull-up resistor between VIO and SDA must be greater than [ (VIO-VOL) / 3.7mA] to meet the VOL requirement on SDA. Using a larger pull-up resistor results in lower switching current with slower edges, while using a smaller pull-up results in higher switching currents with faster edges. 20171413 FIGURE 3. Write Cycle w = write (SDA = "0") ack = acknowledge (SDA pulled down by the slave) id = chip address, 53h for LM3553 9 www.national.com LM3553 START AND STOP CONDITIONS START and STOP conditions classify the beginning and the end of the I2C session. A START condition is defined as SDA signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL line is HIGH. A STOP condition is defined as the SDA transitioning from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C master always generates START and STOP conditions. The I2C bus is considered to be busy after a START condition and free after a STOP condition. During data transmission, the I2C master can generate repeated START conditions. First START and repeated START conditions are equivalent, function-wise. The data on SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock signal (SCL). In other words, the state of the data line can only be changed when CLK is LOW. Connection Diagram LM3553 VFB: Selects the regulation voltage for the LM3553. Setting this VFB bit to a '0' sets the regulation voltage to 450mV while setting the VFB bit to a '1' sets the regulation voltage to 350mV. Setting the VFB bit to a '1' during torch mode and/or lower current flash modes (ILED < 1A) will help improve the LED efficiency of the LM3553.

'0' = GPI, and'1' = GPO Note: When M/F is configured as an input, data is transfered from GPI to DATA whenever an I2C write command is issued to the LM3553. When configuring M/F as a GPO, the first write needs to take the LM3553 out of RESET mode and a second write can then set the pin to the GPO. DATA: GPIO Data. When the M/F is configured as an output (GPO), DATA sets the GPO level. Example: DATA = '1', M/F is set high or logic '1'. When the M/F pin is configured as an input (GPI), DATA stores the GPI level. Example: M/F = '1', DATA will be set to a '1'. Default for DATA = '0'. OVP: Enables high-voltage OVP (OVP Bit ='1') or low-voltage OVP (OVP Bit ='0').

Surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitors are recommended. These capacitors are small, inexpensive and have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR <20mΩ typ.). Tantalum capacitors, OS-CON capacitors, and aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not recommended for use with the LM3553 due to their high ESR, as compared to ceramic capacitors. For most applications, ceramic capacitors with X7R or X5R temperature characteristic are preferred for use with the LM3553. These capacitors have tight capacitance tolerance (as good as ±10%) and hold their value over temperature (X7R: ±15% over -55°C to 125°C; X5R: ±15% over -55°C to 85°C). Capacitors with Y5V or Z5U temperature characteristic are generally not recommended for use with the LM3553. Capacitors with these temperature characteristics typically have wide capacitance tolerance (+80%, -20%) and vary significantly over temperature (Y5V: +22%, -82% over -30°C to +85°C range; Z5U: +22%, -56% over +10°C to +85°C range). Under some conditions, a nominal 1µF Y5V or Z5U capacitor could have a capacitance of only 0.1µF. Such detrimental deviation is likely to cause Y5V and Z5U capacitors to fail to meet the minimum capacitance requirements of the LM3553. The recommended voltage rating for the input capacitor is 10V (min = 6.3V). For a single flash LED, the recommended output capacitor voltage rating is 10V (min = 6.3V), and for series LEDs the recommended voltage is 25V (min = closest voltage rating above the sum of (VLED × NLEDs) and VFB). The recommended value takes into account the DC bias capacitance losses, while the minimum rating takes into account the OVP trip levels. 20171427 TX Terminated Pulse 20171428 Application Information INDUCTOR SELECTION The LM3553 is designed to use a 2.2µH inductor. When the device is boosting (VOUT > VIN) the inductor is one of the biggest sources of efficiency loss in the circuit. Therefore, choosing an inductor with the lowest possible series resistance is important. Additionally, the saturation rating of the inductor should be greater than the maximum operating peak current of the LM3553. This prevents excess efficiency loss that can occur with inductors that operate in saturation and prevents over heating of the inductor and possible damage. For proper inductor operation and circuit performance ensure that the inductor saturation and the peak current limit setting of the LM3553 (2.6A or 1.8A) is greater than IPEAK. IPEAK can be calculated by: SCHOTTKY DIODE SELECTION The output diode must have a reverse breakdown voltage greater than the maximum output voltage. The diodes average current rating should be high enough to handle the LM3553’s output current. Additionally, the diodes peak current rating must be high enough to handle the peak inductor current. Schottky diodes are recommended due to their lower forward voltage drop (0.3V to 0.5V) compared to ( 0.8V) for PN junction diodes. LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS The LLP is a leadless package with very good thermal properties. This package has an exposed DAP (die attach pad) at the underside center of the package measuring 1.86mm x 2.2mm. The main advantage of this exposed DAP is to offer low thermal resistance when soldered to the thermal ground pad on the PCB. For good PCB layout a 1:1 ratio between the package and the PCB thermal land is recommended. To further enhance thermal conductivity, the PCB thermal ground pad may include vias to a 2nd layer ground plane. For more detailed instructions on mounting LLP packages, please refer to National Semiconductor Application Note AN-1187. The high switching frequencies and large peak currents make the PCB layout a critical part of the design. The proceeding steps must be followed to ensure stable operation and proper current source regulation. 1. If possible, divide ground into two planes, one for the return terminals of COUT, CIN and the I2C Bus, the other for the return terminals of RSET. Connect both planes to the exposed DAP, but nowhere else. 20171425 Recommended Inductors Manufacturer Part# L / ISAT Toko FDSE312-2R2M 2.2µH / 2.3A Coilcraft LPS4012-222ML 2.2µH / 2.3A TDK VLF4014ST-2R2M1R9 2.2µH / 2.0A www.national.com 12 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Using an external temperature sensor, such as the LM26LV, can help aid in the thermal protection of the flash LEDs as well as other components in a design. Connecting the OVERTEMP pin of the LM26LV to the TX pin on the LM3553 prevents the high current flash from turning on when the set temperature threshold on the LM26LV is reached. When the temperature trip point is reached, the OVERTEMP pin on the LM26LV will transition from a '0' to a '1' which in turn enables the LM3553's TX mode. When a flash is instantiated by either the imager or microprocessor, the LM3553 will only allow the flash LED current to reach the current level set in the Torch Current register as long as the temperature sensor is registering an over-temperature condition. Placing the temperature sensor close to the flash LEDs can help prevent the LEDs from reaching a temperature above the maximum specified limit due to high-current flashing in a high temperature ambient environment. Connect the inductor and the anode of D1(schottky) as close together as possible and place this connection as close as possible to the SW pin. This reduces the inductance and resistance of the switching node which minimizes ringing and excess voltage drops. Connect the return terminals of the input capacitor and the output capacitor as close as possible to the exposed DAP and through low impedance traces. Bypass VIN with at least a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor. Connect the positive terminal of this capacitor as close as possible to VIN. Connect COUT as close as possible to the cathode of D1 (schottky). This reduces the inductance and resistance of the output bypass node which minimizes ringing and voltage drops. This will improve efficiency and decrease the noiseinjected into the current sources. Route the trace for RSET away from the SW node to minimize noise injection. Do not connect any external capacitor to the RSET pin. THERMAL PROTECTION Internal thermal protection circuitry disables the LM3553 when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C (typ.). This feature protects the device from being damaged by high die temperatures that might otherwise result from excessive power dissipation. The device will recover and operate normally when the junction temperature falls below 140°C (typ.). It is important that the board layout provide good thermal conduction to keep the junction temperature within the specified operating ratings.
