Description
Features
The SC605 is a high-current charge pump designed specifically for use with white LEDs used in camera flash applications. Only two small bucket capacitors are required
to develop the output drive, providing a low EMI solution
compared to inductive boost regulators.
Two selectable modes - Flash and Spotlight
Up to 700mA output - Flash mode
Up to 280mA output - Spotlight mode
500mA output over specified temperature and voltage ranges - Flash mode
Spotlight mode selectable to 20%, 30%
and 40% of Flash current
3.0V to 5.25V input range
Flash control pin for synchronization to
a camera module or graphics controller
Short circuit, over-voltage and
over-temperature protection
Soft-start functionality
Three control inputs for maximum versatility
Shutdown current < 2μA
Micro-lead package MLPD-12, 3mm x 3mm
The SC605 has two modes of operation: Flash mode and
Spotlight mode. In Flash mode, the SC605 is capable of
delivering 500mA of regulated current for a duration of
500ms or up to 700mA for a reduced duration. In Spotlight
mode the SC605 can output 20%, 30%, or 40% of the Flash
mode current and remain enabled continuously.
An external resistor is connected in series with the LED to
set the current. In Flash mode, this resistor can dissipate
up to 0.175mW, reducing the power dissipation requirement of the SC605. The Flash input (FLASH) overrides
the control inputs (CTRL0 and CTRL1) to ensure the Flash
function has the highest priority.
Applications
Mobile Camera Phones
Digital Cameras
PDAs with Built-in Cameras
The thermally efficient MLPD-12 package and ceramic
bypass and bucket capacitors help make the SC605 a
high output current driver that requires a minimal amount
of
PCB area.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Applications Information
Flash Mode
Flash mode is enabled whenever the FLASH pin is pulled
high and remains active until the FLASH pin is released.
While in Flash mode the reference voltage on the ISET pin
is set to 250mV. During Flash mode the charge pump develops enough output current to drive an LED with 500mA
for a duration up to 500ms. The duration of the pulse is
limited by the amount of power that can be dissipated in
the SC605 before it exceeds the maximum operating temperature. Note that if an output current less than the rated
500mA is desired the duration of the pulse can increase
proportionally. However, great care should be taken to insure the FLASH pin is not held high for an extended amount
of time so that overheating does not occur. Extending flash
mode beyond the 500ms pulse limit could adversely affect
the long-term reliability of the SC605. Flash duration must
be derated at higher currents, for example, 700mA derates
to a maximum of 350ms. The plot below shows maximum
Flash mode current for extended duration times.
General Operation
The SC605 is a powerful 2x charge pump designed to drive
a high-intensity white LED with a constant current (Spotlight
mode) or with a pulsed current of higher intensity (Flash
mode) used for camera flash.
In Flash mode the SC605 output can drive 500mA at 4.25V
into an LED for up to 500ms. The FLASH pin is used to
trigger Flash mode. In spotlight mode the SC605 regulates
the output current to the value selected by the CTRL0 and
CTRL1 inputs. Note that Flash mode has priority over
Spotlight mode, i.e., the FLASH pin triggers Flash mode
regardless of the state of the CTRL0 and CTRL1 pins.
Output current is regulated by attaching the ISET pin to the
cathode(s) of the LED package and a load sense resistor
(typically 0.5Ω). The ISET pin monitors the voltage at the
cathode and signals the charge pump to increase or decrease the output current until the ISET voltage reaches
the programmed setting. Programmed settings are shown
in Table 1:

Protection Circuitry
The SC605 also provides protection circuitry that prevents
the device from operating in an unspecified state. These
include Input Over-Voltage Protection (IOVP), Output OverVoltage Protection (OVP), Over-Temperature Protection
(OTP), Over-Current Protection (OCP), and Short-Circuit
Current Protection (SCCP).
The resistor value is chosen to set the current through the
LED based on this reference voltage. The resistor should
not be less than 0.35Ω due to the output current limitations
of the device. Note that the resistor sets both the Flash
mode current and the Spotlight mode current.
In Flash mode, IOUT = VISET / RISET = 250mV / RISET.
In Spotlight mode, IOUT = VISET / RISET.
Input Over-Voltage Protection
Input over-voltage protection is included to prevent operation at high input voltages that could damage the device.
The IOVP circuit senses the input voltage and determines
when the supply exceeds 6V. When the voltage rises
above this threshold, the device is disabled until the input
voltage drops to a level within the specified input range.
Hysteresis is included in this circuit to avoid chattering
between states.
Spotlight Mode
Spotlight mode is enabled by setting the CTRL0 and CTRL1
pins as shown in Table 1. When in Spotlight mode, the
SC605 can maintain a constant current indefinitely to drive
an LED or bank of LEDs. The ISET pin voltage is the reference VISET and has three different settings - 50mV, 75mV,
and 100mV. These settings allow the designer the flexibility
to select the output level needed to suit the application.

POWER MANAGEMENT
Applications Information (Cont.)
Output Over-Voltage Protection
Output over-voltage protection is included to prevent the
SC605 from generating an output voltage that could damage other devices connected to it such as load LEDs and
bypass capacitors. When the output voltage exceeds 5.5V,
the OVP circuit disables the charge pump until the voltage
decreases to a level within the acceptable range. This circuit allows the device to drive LEDs with high forward volt
ages at a reduced level without exceeding the output voltage limits specified for the device. This is a consequence
of over-voltage protection, not the function of OVP.
page 1 uses a 0.5Ω resistor to set a Flash mode current
of 500mA and Spotlight mode options of 100mA, 150mA,
and 200mA. A precision resistor should be used to ensure
the specified accuracy for LED current.
To avoid malfunction of the charge pump, it is recommended that the resistance seen at the ISET pin remain
constant while the device is active (Flash or Spotlight
mode). Changing the resistance value or the load current
while the device is active could cause instability or voltage
transients that would result in non-compliant behavior.
The load current return path is from the ISET sense point
through the resistor and back to the ground pin. Resistance
in this path adds to the total resistance and has the effect
of reducing the LED current by about 4% per 10mV of DC
drop across the return copper trace in Flash mode. For this
reason, it is crucial to have a low resistance return path.
Place and ground the resistor as close as possible to the
ground pin of the SC605. The trace from ISET has virtually
no current. The ISET trace should make contact at the pad
of the power sense resistor to minimize the effect of voltage
drop between the LED cathode and the resistor.
Over-Temperature Protection
The OT circuit helps prevent the device from overheating
and experiencing a catastrophic failure. When the junction
temperature exceeds 150°C the device is disabled. It
remains disabled until the junction temperature drops
below this threshold. As with the OVP circuit, hysteresis is
included to prevent toggling between states.
Over-Current Protection
When the SC605 is in 2X charge pump mode, the input
current will be approximately double the required output.
When the steady-state load requires the maximum current
available in 2X mode, the OCP circuit prevents the device
from overheating due to excessive power dissipation.
Capacitor Selection
The SC605 is designed to use low-ESR ceramic capacitors for the input and output bypass capacitors as well as
the charge pump bucket capacitors. Ideal performance
is achieved when C1 is exactly equal to C2. It is recommended that X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors be used for
best performance.
Short-Circuit Current Protection
SCCP is provided to limit the current that can be sourced
when the output is shorted to ground. When the output
voltage drops below 2V, the SCCP detects the condition as
a short to ground and limits the output current.
Thermal Resistance
The SC605 package is thermally efficient when the circuit
board layout connects the thermal pad through multiple
vias to the ground plane. The thermal resistance is rated
at 40°C/W, but this rating is dependent on the connection
between the thermal pad and the ground plane. A layout
that is done correctly should keep the junction temperature below the OT limit while operating the SC605 within
the specifed electrical conditions for IOUT and VISET. A poor
layout may allow the junction temperature to reach the
OT limit while in Flash or Spotlight mode.
Resistor Selection
The ISET resistor selection is critical to generating the correct current. The value can be chosen to set the Spotlight
mode current or the Flash mode current, but it must be
noted that the two current settings are dependent on the
same resistor. It is recommended that the resistor be selected to match the LEDs desired current for Flash mode.
This will allow the designer to set the maximum current
out of the SC605. The typical application circuit shown on

Suggested Layout
The following layout is suggested for a two layer design with
one component side. The capacitors C1 and C2 are the
bucket capacitors and each of these capacitors conducts
the full load current of up to 700mA pulsed on for one half
clock cycle per capacitor. C3 is the output decoupling capacitor, placed near the SC605. C4 is the input decoupling
capacitor, placed near the SC605. Multiple vias should be
used whenever it is necessary to change layers on nets
connecting to pins VIN, VOUT, GND, C1-, C1+, C2-, C2+.
Resistor R1 is routed with a very low resistance connection
between ISET and GND pin 3. The sense trace between
pin 7 and R1 is connected to R1 at the terminal pad for
the most accurate sensing possible.
The SC605’s center thermal pad is tied to the ground plane
through a heat spreading copper shape with multiple vias.
There are 10 vias shown in this layout connecting the thermal pad and pin 3 together to the ground plane. All 10 vias
help spread heat and conduct ground current. Note that
the thermal pad does not conduct current. Pin 3 conducts
the full ground current.
Four signal traces routed on the bottom layer are CTRL1,
CTRL0, FLASH and ISET. These traces are routed horizontally on the bottom layer. Carefully route these traces so
they do no block the ground path from R1 to the ground
pin 3.
The bottom copper layer is primarily a ground plane providing a return path between the ground vias at R1 and the
ground vias connecting pin 3 to the ground plane.
