Description
The STCF06 is a high efficiency power supply
solution to drive a single flash LED in camera
phones, PDAs and other battery powered
devices. It is a buck-boost converter able to
guarantee a proper LED current control over all
possible conditions of battery voltage and LED
forward voltage. The output current control
ensures a good current regulation over the
forward voltage spread characteristics of the flash
LED. All the functions of the device are controlled
through the I²C bus which helps to reduce logic
pins on the package and to save PCB tracks on
the board. Hard and soft-triggering of flash are
both supported. The device includes many
functions to protect the chip and the power LED,
such as: soft start control, chip over temperature,
open and shorted LED detection and protection.
