AS3643
1300mA High Current LED Flash Driver
1 General Description
2 Key Features
High
efficiency 4MHz fixed frequency DCDC Boost
converter with soft start allows small coils
The AS3643 includes flash timeout, overvoltage, overtemperature, undervoltage and LED short circuit protection functions. A TXMASK/TORCH function reduces the
flash current in case of parallel operation to the RF
power amplifier and avoids a system shutdown. Alternatively this pin can be used to directly operate the torch
light directly.
Automatic
al
id
The AS3643 is an inductive high efficient DCDC step up
converter with two current sinks. The DCDC step up
converter operates at a fixed frequency of 4MHz and
includes soft startup to allow easy integration into noise
sensitive RF systems. The two current sinks can operate in flash / torch / assist (=video) light modes.
- Stable even in coil current limit
current adjustable up to 1300mA
LED

1. For VBAT=4.5V, SCL=1.8V, SDA=1.8V maximum ISTANBY is <16µA.
2. To improve efficiency at low output currents, the active part of the internal switching transistor PMOS is reduced
in size to 1/5 its original size. This reduces the current required to drive the PMOS transistor and therefore
improves overall efficiency at low output currents.
3. Due to slope compensation of the current limit, ILIMIT changes with duty cycle.
4. The logic input levels VIH and VIL allow for 1.2V or 1.8V supplied driving circuit
5. A pulldown current of 36µA is equal to a pulldown resistor of 42k at 1.5V
6. After this period, the first clock pulse is generated.
7. A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal (referred to the VIHMIN of the
SCL signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
8. A fast-mode device can be used in a standard-mode system, but the requirement tSU:DAT = to 250ns must then
be met. This is automatically the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a
device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line tR max +
tSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250ns before the SCL line is released.

8 Detailed Description
The AS3643 is a high performance DCDC step up converter with internal PMOS and NMOS switches. Its output is
2
connected to one flash LED with an internal current sink. The device is controlled by the pins SDA and SCL in I C
mode.
The actual operating mode like standby, assist light, indicator or flash mode, can then be chosen by the interface. If not
1
al
id
in standby mode, the device automatically enters shutdown mode by keeping SCL low for more than tTIMEOUT .
The AS3643 includes a fixed frequency DCDC step-up with accurate startup control. Together with the current sink (on
LED_OUT1/2) it includes several protection and safety functions.

Softstart / Soft ramp down
ch
During startup and ramp down the LED current is smoothly ramped up and ramped down. If the DCDC converter goes
out of regulation (measured by monitoring the voltage across the current sinks), the ramp up is temporarily stopped in
2
Te
order for the DCDC to return to regulation .
1. Following registers are reset to their default value if the timeout expires: out_on=0, ext_torch_on=00,
mode_setting=00, const_v_mode=0.
2. The actual value of the LED current setting can be readout by the register led_current_actual (see page
26) to allow the camera processor to adopt to the actual operating conditions.

4MHz/1MHz Operating Mode Switching
If freq_switch_on (see page 26)=1 and in flash and assist light mode (indicator mode or low current mode using PWM
mode -see mode_setting (page 24) - always will use pulseskip) if led_current>=40h , the DCDC converter always operates in PWM mode (exception: PFM mode is allowed during startup) to reduce EMI in EMI sensitive systems. For flash
and assist light mode and high duty cycles close to 100% on-time (maximum duty cycle) of the PMOS, the DCDC con3
al
id
verter can switch into a 1MHz operating mode and maximum duty cycle to improve efficiency for this load condition .
The DCDC converter returns back to its normal 4MHz operating frequency when load or supply conditions change.
Due to this switching between two fixed frequencies the noise spectrum of the system is exactly defined and predictable. If improved efficiency is required, the fixed switching between 1MHz / 4MHz can be disabled by freq_switch_on
(see page 26)=0. In this case pulseskip will be used.
The internal circuit for switching between these two frequencies is shown in Figure 17:

Note: For simplicity Figure 17 shows only a single current sink.
Protection and Fault Detection Functions
The protection functions protect the AS3643 and the LED(s) against physical damage. In most cases a Fault register
2
2
bit is set, which can be readout by the I C interface. The fault bits are automatically cleared by a I C readout of the fault
ca
4
register. Additionally the DCDC is stopped and the current sinks are disabled by resetting out_on=0,
mode_setting=00 and ext_torch_on=00.
ni
Overvoltage Protection
In case of no or a broken LED(s) at the pin LED_OUT1/2 and an enabled DCDC converter, the voltage on VOUT1/2
5
rises until it reaches VVOUTMAX (overvoltage condition) and the voltage across the current source is below low_vds .,
ch
6

Short Circuit Protection
After the startup of the DCDC converter, the voltage on LED_OUT1/2 is continuously monitored and compared against
7
VLEDSHORT if the LED current is above 20mA (see Figure 18). If the voltage across the LED (VFLED = VOUT1/2LED_OUT1/2) stays below VLEDSHORT, the DCDC is stopped (as a shorted LED is assumed), the current sinks are disabled and the bit fault_led_short (see page 25) is set.

Overtemperature Protection
The junction temperature of the AS3643 is continuously monitored. If the temperature exceeds TOVTEMP, the DCDC is
stopped, the current sinks are disabled (instantaneous) and the bit fault_overtemp (see page 25) is set. The driver is
8
automatically re-enabled once the junction temperature drops below TOVTEMP-TOVTEMPHYST.
TXMASK event occurred
If during flash, TXMASK current reduction is enabled (see TXMASK on page 15, configured by ext_torch_on=01) and
a TXMASK event happened (pin TXMASK/TORCH=1), the fault register bit fault_txmask (see page 25) is set.
Flash Timeout
If the flash is started a timeout timer is started in parallel. If the flash duration defined by the STROBE input (strobe_on
= 1 and strobe_type = 1, see Figure 25 on page 17) exceeds tFLASHTIMEOUT (adjustable by register flash_timeout (see
page 24)), the DCDC is stopped and the flash current sinks (on pin LED_OUT1/2) are disabled and fault_timeout is
set.
ca
If the flash duration is defined by the timeout timer itself (strobe_on = 0, see Figure 23 on page 17), the register
fault_timeout is set after the flash has been finished.
Supply undervoltage Protection
ni
If the voltage on the pin VIN (=battery voltage) is or falls below VUVLO, the AS3643 is kept in shutdown state and all
registers are set to their default state.
Wakeup Circuit - Power off detection
Te
ch
In flash, assist light and indicator mode (register mode_setting (page 24)=01, 10 or 11) and out_on (page 24)=1, if SCL
is L for more than tTIMEOUT, shutdown mode is automatically entered. This feature automatically detects a power-off of
the controlling circuit driving SCL and SDA (VDD_I/F goes to 0V e.g. due to a low power condition of the driving circuit)
- the internal circuit is shown in Figure 19:
7. To avoid errors in short LED detection for LEDs with a high leakage current

In shutdown mode once pin SCL goes high for the first time, the internal counter shown in Figure 19 is immediately
reset thus releasing the internal RESET (assuming VIN is above VUVLO) signal and allows instant communication on
2
2
the I C bus. Therefore no additional action is required to leave the shutdown mode and start I C communication.
Purpose of this circuit
The purpose of this circuit is an additional security mechanism.
Assume the user programmed torch or indicator operation (there is no timeout for these operating modes) and the battery slowly drops below the undervoltage limit of the system. The processor would get an reset by the PMIC and the
LDO operating VDD_I/F is switched off, but the processor might not have been able to switch-off the torch/indicator
operation of the AS3643. Due to the implemented security mechanism the AS3643 detects a power off of VDD_I/F and
automatically enters shutdown.
Current consumption in standby/shutdown mode
Te
ch
ni
ca
The AS3643 is designed to draw minimum current in standby and shutdown mode. There is a small difference in current consumption between these two operating modes (typ. 300nA) only due to the internal level shifters (see the
schmitt trigger input buffers connected to SCL and SDA in Figure 19) for shifting up the voltage on SCL/SDA (VDD_I/F
e.g. 1.8V) to the supply voltage on VIN (e.g. 3.7V). If the AS3643 is driven with digital levels close to 0V/VIN, the current consumption for standby mode is identical to shutdown mode.

Flash Current Reductions
TXMASK
Usually the flash current is defined by the register led_current . If the TXMASK/TORCH input is used and (configured
by ext_torch_on=01), the flash current is reduced to flash_txmask_current if TXMASK/TORCH=1.
Current Reduction by VIN measurements in Flash Mode
al
id
Due to the high load of the flash driver and the ESR of the battery (especially critical at low temperatures), the voltage
on the battery drops. If the voltage drops below the reset threshold of the system would reset. To prevent this condition
the AS3643 monitors the battery voltage and keeps it above vin_low_v_run as follows:
Before a flash is started the voltage on VIN is measured. If the voltage is below the setting of vin_low_v the fault_uvlo
(see page 25) is set and the flash is disabled (driver stays in shutdown) if vin_low_v_shutdown=1. The flash current is
reduced to flash_txmask_current if vin_low_v_shutdown=0.
lv
During flash, if the voltage on VIN drops below the threshold defined by vin_low_v_run, the flash current is reduced (or
ramping of the current is stopped during flash current startup) and fault_uvlo is set. The timing for the reduction of the
current is 8µs/LSB current change.

lc s

te G

During the flash pulse the actual used current can be readout by the register led_current_actual.
After the flash pulse the minimum current can be readout by the register led_current_min - this allows to adjust the
camera sensitivity (gain or iso-settings) for the subsequent flash pulse (e.g. when using a pre-flash and a main flash
pulse).
The internal circuit for low voltage current reductions are shown in Figure 20:

A mobile phone camera flash system can trigger a diagnostic flash and a main-flash:
The diagnostic flash is initiated by the processor. After this diagnostic flash, the determined maximum flash current can
2
be read back through the I C interface from register led_current_min (see page 26) and used for the setting for the
main flash. Therefore the current in the main-flash is constant and additionally the camera system can use this current
for picture quality adjustments - the waveforms for this concept are shown in Figure 21:

I2C Serial Data Bus
2
The AS3643 supports the I C bus protocol. A device that sends data onto the bus is defined as a transmitter and a
device receiving data as a receiver. The device that controls the message is called a master. The devices that are
controlled by the master are referred to as slaves. A master device that generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the
bus access, and generates the START and STOP conditions must control the bus. The AS3643 operates as a slave on

The following bus protocol has been defined (Figure 27):

the I C bus. Within the bus specifications a standard mode (100kHz maximum clock rate) and a fast mode (400kHz
maximum clock rate) are defined. The AS3643 works in both modes. Connections to the bus are made through the
open-drain I/O lines SDA and SCL.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been defined:
Bus Not Busy
Start Data Transfer
am
lc s
on A
te G
nt
st
il
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.
A change in the state of the data line, from HIGH to LOW, while the clock is HIGH, defines a START condition.
Stop Data Transfer
A change in the state of the data line, from LOW to HIGH, while the clock line is HIGH, defines the STOP condition.
Data Valid
The state of the data line represents valid data when, after a START condition, the data line is stable for the duration of
the HIGH period of the clock signal. The data on the line must be changed during the LOW period of the clock signal.
There is one clock pulse per bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition and terminated with a STOP condition. The number of data bytes
transferred between START and STOP conditions are not limited, and are determined by the master device. The
information is transferred byte-wise and each receiver acknowledges with a ninth bit.
Acknowledge
Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte. The
master device must generate an extra clock pulse that is associated with this acknowledge bit.
Te
ch
ni
ca
A device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a way that the
SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge-related clock pulse. Of course, setup and hold
times must be taken into account. A master must signal an end of data to the slave by not generating an acknowledge
bit on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case, the slave must leave the data line HIGH to
enable the master to generate the STOP condition.

Depending upon the state of the R/W bit, two types of data transfer are possible:
1. Data transfer from a master transmitter to a slave receiver. The first byte transmitted by the master is the
slave address. Next follows a number of data bytes. The slave returns an acknowledge bit after each received
byte. Data is transferred with the most significant bit (MSB) first.
2. Data transfer from a slave transmitter to a master receiver. The master transmits the first byte (the slave
address). The slave then returns an acknowledge bit, followed by the slave transmitting a number of data
bytes. The master returns an acknowledge bit after all received bytes other than the last byte. At the end of the
last received byte, a “not acknowledge” is returned. The master device generates all of the serial clock pulses
and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer is ended with a STOP condition or with a repeated START
condition. Since a repeated START condition is also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the bus is not
released. Data is transferred with the most significant bit (MSB) first.
The AS3643 can operate in the following two modes:
ca
1. Slave Receiver Mode (Write Mode): Serial data and clock are received through SDA and SCL. After each
byte is received an acknowledge bit is transmitted. START and STOP conditions are recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer. Address recognition is performed by hardware after reception of the slave
address and direction bit (see Figure 28). The slave address byte is the first byte received after the master
generates the START condition. The slave address byte contains the 7-bit AS3643 address, which is 0110000,
9
Te
ch
ni
followed by the direction bit (R/W), which, for a write, is 0. After receiving and decoding the slave address
byte the device outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line. After the AS3643 acknowledges the slave address +
write bit, the master transmits a register address to the AS3643. This sets the register pointer on the AS3643.
The master may then transmit zero or more bytes of data, with the AS3643 acknowledging each byte received.
The address pointer will increment after each data byte is transferred. The master generates a STOP condition
to terminate the data write.
2. Slave Transmitter Mode (Read Mode): The first byte is received and handled as in the slave receiver mode.
However, in this mode, the direction bit indicates that the transfer direction is reversed. Serial data is transmitted on SDA by the AS3643 while the serial clock is input on SCL. START and STOP conditions are recognized
as the beginning and end of a serial transfer (Figure 29 and Figure 30). The slave address byte is the first byte
received after the master generates a START condition. The slave address byte contains the 7-bit AS3643
10
address, which is 0110000, followed by the direction bit (R/W), which, for a read, is 1. After receiving and
decoding the slave address byte the device outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line. The AS3643 then
begins to transmit data starting with the register address pointed to by the register pointer. If the register

Input Capacitor CVIN

Low ESR input capacitors reduce input switching noise and reduce the peak current drawn from the battery. Ceramic
capacitors are required for input decoupling and should be located as close to the device as is practical.

If a different input capacitor is chosen, ensure similar ESR value and at least 3µF capacitance at the maximum input
supply voltage. Larger capacitor values (C) may be used without limitations.
Add a smaller capacitor in parallel to the input pin VIN (e.g. Murata GRM155R61C104, >50nF @ 3V, 0402 size).
Output Capacitor CVOUT
Low ESR capacitors should be used to minimize VOUT ripple. Multi-layer ceramic capacitors are recommended since
they have extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. The capacitor should be located as close to the
device as is practical.
X5R dielectric material is recommended due to their ability to maintain capacitance over wide voltage and temperature
range.

Inductor LDCDC
The fast switching frequency (4MHz) of the AS3643 allows for the use of small SMDs for the external inductor. The
11
saturation current ISATURATION should be chosen to be above the maximum value of ILIMIT . The inductor should have
2
very low DC resistance (DCR) to reduce the I R power losses - high DCR values will reduce efficiency.

1. Do not exceed maximum ISATURATION - can be ensured by setting coil_peak (will limit LED current)
2. Flash cycle limit: 150ms on, 500ms off; repeat maximum 50 times.(if used with default coil_peak=0b (2A))
3. Set current limit to 2A ()coil_peak=10b) - can limit maximum output current.
ch
If a different inductor is chosen, ensure similar DCR values and at least0.6µH inductance at ILIMIT.
PCB Layout Guideline
Te
The high speed operation requires proper layout for optimum performance. Route the power traces first and try to minimize the area and wire length of the two high frequency/high current loops:
Loop1: CVIN/CVIN2 - LDCDC - pin SW1/2 - pin GND - CVIN/CVIN2
Loop2: CVIN/CVIN2 - LDCDC - pin SW1/2 - pin VOUT1/2 - CVOUT - pin GND - CVIN/CVIN2
2
11.Can be adjusted in I C mode with register coil_peak (see page 22)

AS3643
Datasheet, Confidential - A p p l i c a t i o n I n f o r m a t i o n
At the pin GND a single via (or more vias, which are closely combined) connects to the common ground plane. This
via(s) will isolate the DCDC high frequency currents from the common ground (as most high frequency current will flow
between Loop1 and Loop2 and will not pass the ground plane) - see the ‘island’ in Figure 31.

Note: If component placement rules allow, move all components close to the AS3643 to reduce the area and length
of Loop1 and Loop2.
An additional 100nF (e.g. Murata GRM155R61C104, >50nF @ 3V, 0402 size) capacitor CVIN2 in parallel to CVIN is recommended to filter high frequency noise for the power supply of AS3643. This capacitor should be as close as possible to the GND/VIN pins of AS3643.
5V Operating Mode
The AS3643 can be used to power a 5V system (e.g. audio amplifier). The operating mode is selected by setting register bit const_v_mode (page 23)=1. In this operating mode, the current sinks are disabled and cannot be switched on
(no flash/torch operation is possible).
ca
Note: There is always a diode between VIN and VOUT1/2 due to the internal circuit. Therefore VOUT1/2 cannot be
completely switched off
