9.8 AUXI_0~3
This 4 bits register defines the AUX LED current from 0 to 20 mA. See AUX LED Dimming
Table for reference. Loading any value between 1 and 15 also starts the AUX LED current
source timer, if enabled. The AUX LED current source is active only in Ready mode, and is
deactivated in any other mode.
9.9 AUXT_0~3
This 4 bit register controls the timer that defines the ON-time of the AUX LED current
source. ON-time starts when the AUXI register is loaded with any value other than zero, and
stops after the time defined in the AUXT register. Values from 1 to 14 of the AUXT register
correspond to an ON-time of the AUX LED ranging from 100 to 1400 ms in 100 ms steps.
The value 15 puts the AUX LED to the continuous light mode. The activation/deactivation of
the AUX LED current source is controlled using only the AUXI register.

9.10 F_RUN
This bit is kept HIGH by the STCF06 during flash mode. By checking this bit, the
microprocessor can verify if the flash mode is running or has been terminated by the time
counter.
9.11 LED_F
This bit is set by the STCF06 when the voltage seen on the VOUT pin is V
REF2
> 5.3 V
during a torch or flash operation. This condition can be caused by an open LED, indicating a
LED failure. The device automatically goes into Ready mode to avoid damage. Internal high
frequency filtering avoids false detections. This bit is reset by the STCF06 following a read
operation of the STAT_REG.

9.12 NTC_W
This bit is set HIGH by the STCF06 and the ATN pin is pulled down, when the voltage seen
on the pin R
X
exceeds V
REF4
= 0.56 V. This threshold corresponds to a warning temperature
value at the LED measured by the NTC. The device is still operating, but a warning is sent to
the microprocessor. This bit is reset by the STCF06 following a read operation of the
STAT_REG.
9.13 NTC_H
This bit is set HIGH by the STCF06 and the ATN pin is pulled down, when the voltage seen
on the pin R
X
exceeds V
REF5
. This threshold (1.2 V) corresponds to an excess temperature
value at the LED measured by the NTC. The device is put in Ready mode to avoid damaging
the LED. This bit is reset by the STCF06 following a read operation of the STAT_REG.
9.14 OT_F
This bit is set HIGH by the STCF06 and the ATN pin is pulled down, when the chip over-
temperature protection (~140 °C) has put the device in Ready mode. This bit is reset by the
STCF06 following a read operation of the STAT_REG.
9.15 VOUTOK_N
This bit is set by the STCF06. It is used to protect the device, if the output is shorted. The
VOUTOK_N bit is set to HIGH at the start-up. Then a current generator of 20 mA charges
the output capacitor for 360 µs typ. and it detects when the output capacitor reaches 100
mV. If this threshold is reached the bit is set to LOW. If the output is shorted to ground or the
LED is shorted, this threshold is never reached: the bit stays HIGH, ATN pin is pulled down
and the device will not start. This bit is reset following a read operation of the STAT_REG.
