CAT3224/D
CAT3224
4 Amp Supercapacitor
Flash LED Driver
Description
The CAT3224 is a very highcurrent integrated flash LED driver
which also supports the charging function for a dualcell
supercapacitor applications. Ideal for Liion batterypowered
systems, it delivers up to 4 A LED flash pulses, far beyond the peak
current capability of the battery.
Dualmode 1x/2x charge pump charges the stacked supercapacitor
to a nominal voltage of 5.4 V, while an active balance control circuit
ensures that both capacitor cell voltages remain matched. The nominal
charging current to be drawn from the battery is set by an external
resistor tied to the RC pin.
The driver also features two matched current sources. External
resistors provide the adjustment for the maximum flash mode current
(up to 4 A) and the torch mode current (up to 400 mA). A builtin
safety timer automatically terminates the flash pulse beyond a
maximum duration of 300 ms.
In addition to thermal shutdown and overvoltage protection, the
device is fully protected against external resistor programming faults
and fully supports reverse output voltage for all conditions.
The device is packaged in the tiny 16pad TQFN 3 mm x 3 mm
package with a max height of 0.8 mm.
