STEVAL-TLL003V1
Power flash LED driver evaluation board based on the STCF02
Features
■ Flash LED driver based on the STCF02 high-
power white LED driver
■ A High operating frequency: 1.8 MHz
■ The device can operate in five modes which
are selected using a combination of logic
signals (connected to three enable pins) Five
selectable operating modes:
– Shutdown mode: quiescent current less
than 1µA (typical)
– Shutdown mode with activated negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) LED
temperature sensing, useful for measuring
the temperature before starting both torch
and flash modes
– Torch mode: drives the LED up to 250 mA
– Flash mode: drives the LED up to 600 mA
– Middle flash mode: the current is set
between the torch and the flash mode
levels
Description
This evaluation board is dedicated to the design of
a flash LED driver using the STCF02 step-up/
down current mode converter, providing the
proper recommendations for PCB layout and
external components. The device can operate in
five modes which are selected using a
combination of logic signals (connected to three
enable pins). Also implemented is a simple
programmable RC circuit used to shut down the
device to prevent LED burning during flash mode
in the event of microcontroller fault. This
evaluation board drives a single flash LED with a
forward voltage range of 2.7 to 5 V.
