STCF01
Step-up converter for cell phone camera flash LEDs
General features
Supply voltage range: 2.6V to 5.5V 17V Maximum output voltage Two current levels up to 300mA set with external resistors Dedicated pin to select the required level of current Operating frequency: 1.5MHz: PWM Controller Torch mode supported Shutdown pin with true load disconnection Efficiency: 90% at 100mA; 80% at 300mA DFN10L (3mm x 3mm) Package to set the required current for each level. Compared to the linear current control technique, this method allows designers to achieve the best and most efficient performance possible with the selected current, thereby avoiding linear element losses. The Shutdown (SHDN) pin saves power when the camera flash is not used by consuming less than 0.1A of current. When the SHDN pin is high (logic '1'), the device is turned OFF and there is no DC current path from the supply to the white LEDs (Load Disconnect). If it is held to GND, the output current continuously flows through the LEDs (Torch mode). The SHDN pin, when it is set to low (logic '0'), is also used to set the flash function time duration.

Description
The STCF01 is a dedicated IC designed to drive two, three, or four white, cell phone camera flash LEDs with constant current. The step-up (boost) converter input is connected directly to the battery, and its converter output voltage is automatically determined using current feedback-based duty cycle control. The STCF01 has a dedicated pin for two levels of LED current selection. An external resistor is used

Pin description
Symbol PWRGND OVP VI HC LC SGLGND FB SEL SHDN SW Note This is the application power signal reference. Connect the input and output capacitors to this pin. This pin senses step-up output voltage, which provides overvoltage protection in the event that the output voltage exceeds the OVP threshold This pin supplies the input voltage for the step-up stage as well as the supply voltage for the overall device. This pin sets the high level current for the white LEDs with a resistor that is connected between this pin and VI. This pin sets the low level current for the white LEDs with a resistor that is connected between this pin and VI. This pin is the logic signal reference for the IC. This pin senses the current flowing through the white LEDs and uses this feedback to provide current regulation. This pin is used to select the signal level of the white LEDs; a low level signal sets the low level LED current, while the high level signal sets the high level LED current. This pin enables or disables the Shutdown mode. A high level signal enables device Shutdown mode, where most of the device internal logic is turned OFF. If this pin is held to GND, the output current flows through the LEDs continuously (Torch mode). This is the switch node pin, which is connected to the internal N-channel MOSFET drain.

Detailed description
The STCF01 white Led boost converter drives from two up to four white LEDs with a constant current. It needs few external components: two ceramic capacitors (CI=2.2F CO=4.7F), one inductor L=10H and one schottky diode. The device works with a minimum VI=2.6V, and it has an Over Voltage Protection on the output guaranteed at minimum value equal to 17V. This value ensures proper operation with a maximum of four White LEDs in series. In the worst case of VI=2.6V at VOVP=8V (typical value of two LEDs) it is possible to obtain IO=270mA, while at VOVP=11V (typical value of three LEDs) it is possible obtain IO=180mA (Figure 4). The maximum IO current is limited by inductor peak current internally set at Typ 1.2A. This feature allows for a longer battery life as it reduces intensive use of the flash. The SEL pin allows selection of high and low current values flowing on the White LEDs. The two current values are set through external resistors RHC and RLC according to the following formula: ILED(FLASH) = 2100 * (VI - VHC) / RHC ILED(TORCH) = 2400 * (VI - VLC) / RLC A High logic level on SHDN pin puts the device in shutdown mode; if it is held at LOW the flash or torch mode is activated. When the SHDN pin is LOW the device provides the requested current in less than 200s (see TURN ON TIME plot). This fast turn-on time makes the device suitable for single shoot and multiple shoot operation modes.
