SSL3250A: Photo flash dual LED driver
The SSL3250A is a photo flash LED driver designed for battery operated mobile devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. The boost converter delivers high performance and drives a single or dual, high brightness LED at up to 500 mA with over 85 % efficiency. The driver can be programmed to operate in Flash, Torch or Indicator / Video-on mode.
The small silicon size and the high internal switching frequency of 1.2 MHz minimize the SSL3250A footprint making it very suitable for mobile phones where space is limited, and only requiring four external components. Driving a high power flash LED within its safe operating limits was a concern when the SSL3250A was designed, so a time-out function can be programmed via the I2C interface, which will prevent overstressing the LED. Due to the specific requirements of a mobile phone, the flash current can be rapidly lowered during RF transmit by using optional external setting resistors.

图1.SSL3250A方框图
The SSL3250A has two general control modes: Direct control and I2C control. In Direct control mode the IC is designed to be directly controlled by the application. The I2C control is designed to change the timing and current settings of the SSL3250A, although it can also be used to switch the driver to Flash mode, Torch mode or Indicator mode. In Direct control mode, EN1 and EN2 are used. In I2C control mode, SCL, SDA and STRB are used. In a typical application only one control mode can be used.
