AS3683
1A Backlight and Camera LED Power Charge Pump
1 General Description
The AS3683 is a low-noise, high-current 1A charge
pump designed for camera flash LEDs and LCD backlighting applications. The current sinks are capable of
driving up to 960mA of load current.

2 Key Features
!
High-Power 1A Charge Pump
- 1:1, 1:1.5, and 1:2 Intelligent Adaptive Mode Setting (IAMS)
- Efficiency up to 95%
- Soft Start to Reduce Inrush Current
- Low-Noise Constant-Frequency Operation
!
Current Sinks
- 400mA Continuous Current (@VIN = 3.2 to 5V,
VOUT = 5V)
- Up to 960mA Pulsed Flash Current
- Programmable: 0 to 160mA, 0.625mA Resolution
!
Flexible Brightness Control
- Three 0 to 160mA LEDs
- Individually Addressable via I2C Interface
!
2 Operating Modes
- Softflash Mode (I2C Interface)
- Hardflash Mode (Dedicated Control Pins)
!
2 General Purpose Inputs/Outputs in Softflash Mode
- Digital Input, Output, and Tristate
- Programmable Pull-Up and Pull-Down
- Strobe Pin can be used for Camera Flash Control
In Softflash Mode the device is controlled by an I2C
interface. In these modes the LED brightness, flash
duration, GPIOs and various charge pump states are
controlled by internal register settings. The GPIO pins
can act as programmable input or output pins and can
also be set to trigger preview and flash light directly by a
camera module.
!
LED Disconnect in Shutdown
!
Open LED Detection
!
Low Stand-By Current (6µA), Interface Fully
Operating
!
Low Shut-Down Current (0.2µA)
In Hardflash mode the LED brightness is controlled by
the Enable pins. These programming pins can be used
as simple enable pins, or as PWM input, again offering
ample flexibility for setting the LED brightness.
!
Wide Battery Supply Range: 3.0 to 5.5V
!
Thermal Protection
!
24-Pin, Small Form-Factor QFN Package
- 4 x 4 x 0.85mm, 0.5mm Pitch
- Enhanced Thermal Characteristics
The AS3683 integrates two independent current source
blocks for driving a single flash LED (CURR11 to
CURR13) with up to 480mA, and general purpose LEDs
(CURR2 to CURR4) with up to 160mA/LED. The general
purpose LEDs are controlled individually and can be
used for backlighting, but also in support of an RGB funlight or a movie indicator lamp. To meet high-flash current requirements (up to 960mA), both current source
blocks can be connected together (CURR11 to CURR13
and CURR2 to CURR4).
The AS3683 utilizes austriamicrosystems's patent-pending Intelligent Adaptive Mode Setting (IAMS) to switch
between 1:1, 1:1.5, and 1: 2 modes. In combination with
very-low-drop-out current sinks, the device achieves
high efficiency over the full single-cell Li+ battery voltage
range. The charge pump operates at a fixed frequency
of 1MHz allowing for tiny external components and its
design ensures low EMI and low input-ripple.
The ultra-flexible brightness control scheme allows for
simple adaptation of the device to different system architectures.
3 Application
Lighting management for cameras, mobile telephones,
PDAs, and other 1-cell Li+ or 3-cell NiMH powered
devices.
