Description
The SC618 is a high-current charge pump designed spe-
cifically 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.
The SC618 has two modes of operation:  ash mode and
spotlight mode. In  ash mode, the SC618 is capable of
delivering 500mA of regulated current for a duration of
500ms or up to 700mA for a reduced duration. A safety
timer is also included to ensure the LED cannot be left on
inde nitely and overheat. In spotlight mode the SC618
outputs 40% of the  ash mode current and can remain
enabled continuously.
An external resistor is connected in series with the LED to
set the current. In  ash mode, this resistor can dissipate
up to 175mW, reducing the power dissipation require-
ment of the SC618. The  ash input overrides the control
input to make sure the  ash function is activated .
The SC618 ultra-thin package provides both a low pro le
and high thermal e ciency.
