LM3644 Dual 1.5-A Current Source Camera Flash LED Driver
1 Features
3 Description
•
The LM3644 is a dual LED flash driver that provides
a high level of adjustability within a small solution
size. The LM3644 utilizes a 2-MHz or 4-MHz fixedfrequency synchronous boost converter to provide
power to the dual 1.5-A constant current LED
sources. The dual 128 level current sources provide
the flexibility to adjust the current ratios between
LED1 and LED2. An adaptive regulation method
ensures the current sources remain in regulation and
maximizes efficiency.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND terminal.
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ = 150°C (typical) and
disengages at TJ = 135°C (typical). Thermal shutdown is ensured by design.
For detailed soldering specifications and information, refer to TI Application Note DSBGA Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (SNVA009).

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating
conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND terminal.
In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may
have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP =
125°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the
part/package in the application (RθJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (RθJA × PD-MAX).

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LM3644 is a high-power white LED flash driver capable of delivering up to 1.5 A in either of the two parallel
LEDs. The device incorporates a 2-MHz or 4-MHz constant frequency-synchronous current-mode PWM boost
converter and dual high-side current sources to regulate the LED current over the 2.5-V to 5.5-V input voltage
range.
The LM3644 PWM DC-DC boost converter switches and boosts the output to maintain at least VHR across each
of the current sources (LED1/2). This minimum headroom voltage ensures that both current sources remain in
regulation. If the input voltage is above the LED voltage + current source headroom voltage the device does not
switch, but turns the PFET on continuously (Pass mode). In Pass mode the difference between (VIN − ILED ×
RPMOS) and the voltage across the LED is dropped across the current source.
The LM3644 has three logic inputs including a hardware Flash Enable (STROBE), a hardware Torch Enable
(TORCH/TEMP, TORCH = default), and a Flash Interrupt input (TX) designed to interrupt the flash pulse during
high battery-current conditions. These logic inputs have internal 300-kΩ (typical) pulldown resistors to GND.
Additional features of the LM3644 include an internal comparator for LED thermal sensing via an external NTC
thermistor and an input voltage monitor that can reduce the Flash current during low VIN conditions. It also has a
Hardware Enable (HWEN) pin that can be used to reset the state of the device and the registers by pulling the
HWEN pin to ground.
Control is done via an I2C-compatible interface. This includes adjustment of the Flash and Torch current levels,
changing the Flash Timeout Duration, and changing the switch current limit. Additionally, there are flag and
status bits that indicate flash current time-out, LED overtemperature condition, LED failure (open/short), device
thermal shutdown, TX interrupt, and VIN undervoltage conditions.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Flash Mode
In Flash Mode, the LED current sources (LED1/2) provide 128 target current levels from 10.9 mA to 1500 mA.
Once the Flash sequence is activated the current source (LED) ramps up to the programmed Flash current by
stepping through all current steps until the programmed current is reached. The headroom in the two current
sources can be regulated to provide 10.9 mA to 1.5 A on each of the two output legs. There is an option in the
register settings to keep the two currents in the output leg the same.
When the device is enabled in Flash Mode through the Enable Register, all mode bits in the Enable Register are
cleared after a flash time-out event.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.2 Torch Mode
In Torch mode, the LED current sources (LED1/2) provide 128 target current levels from 0.977 mA to 179 mA or
1.954 mA to 360 mA on LM3644TT. The Torch currents are adjusted via the LED1 and LED2 LED Torch
Brightness Registers. Torch mode is activated by the Enable Register (setting M1, M0 to '10'), or by pulling the
TORCH/TEMP pin HIGH when the pin is enabled (Enable Register) and set to Torch Mode. Once the TORCH
sequence is activated the active current sources (LED1/2) ramps up to the programmed Torch current by
stepping through all current steps until the programmed current is reached. The rate at which the current ramps
is determined by the value chosen in the Timing Register.
Torch Mode is not affected by Flash Timeout or by a TX Interrupt event.
8.3.3 IR Mode
In IR Mode, the target LED current is equal to the value stored in the LED1/2 Flash Brightness Registers. When
IR mode is enabled (setting M1, M0 to '01'), the boost converter turns on and set the output equal to the input
(pass-mode). At this point, toggling the STROBE pin enables and disables the LED1/2 current sources (if
enabled). The strobe pin can only be set to be Level sensitive, meaning all timing of the IR pulse is externally
controlled. In IR Mode, the current sources do not ramp the LED outputs to the target. The current transitions
immediately from off to on and then on to off.

8.4 Device Functioning Modes
8.4.1 Start-Up (Enabling The Device)
Turn on of the LM3644 Torch and Flash modes can be done through the Enable Register. On start-up, when
VOUT is less than VIN the internal synchronous PFET turns on as a current source and delivers 200 mA (typical)
to the output capacitor. During this time the current source (LED) is off. When the voltage across the output
capacitor reaches 2.2 V (typical) the current source turns on. At turnon the current source steps through each
FLASH or TORCH level until the target LED current is reached. This gives the device a controlled turnon and
limits inrush current from the VIN supply.

Device Functioning Modes (continued)
8.4.2 Pass Mode
The LM3644 starts up in Pass Mode and stays there until Boost Mode is needed to maintain regulation. If the
voltage difference between VOUT and VLED falls below VHR, the device switches to Boost Mode. In Pass Mode the
boost converter does not switch, and the synchronous PFET turns fully on bringing VOUT up to VIN − ILED ×
RPMOS. In Pass Mode the inductor current is not limited by the peak current limit.
8.4.3 Power Amplifier Synchronization (TX)
The TX pin is a Power Amplifier Synchronization input. This is designed to reduce the flash LED current and thus
limit the battery current during high battery current conditions such as PA transmit events. When the LM3644 is
engaged in a Flash event, and the TX pin is pulled high, the LED current is forced into Torch Mode at the
programmed Torch current setting. If the TX pin is then pulled low before the Flash pulse terminates, the LED
current returns to the previous Flash current level. At the end of the Flash time-out, whether the TX pin is high or
low, the LED current turns off.
8.4.4 Input Voltage Flash Monitor (IVFM)
The LM3644 has the ability to adjust the flash current based upon the voltage level present at the IN pin utilizing
the Input Voltage Flash Monitor (IVFM). The adjustable threshold IVFM-D ranges from 2.9 V to 3.6 V in 100-mV
steps, with three different usage modes (Stop and Hold, Adjust Down Only, Adjust Up and Down). The Flags2
Register has the IVFM flag bit set when the input voltage crosses the IVFM-D value. Additionally, the IVFM-D
threshold sets the input voltage boundary that forces the LM3644 to either stop ramping the flash current during
start-up (Stop and Hold Mode) or to start decreasing the LED current during the flash (Down Adjust Only and Up
and Down Adjust). In Adjust Up and Down mode, the IVFM-D value plus the hysteresis voltage threshold set the
input voltage boundary that forces the LM3644 to start ramping the flash current back up towards the target.

Device Functioning Modes (continued)
8.4.5 Fault/Protections
8.4.5.1 Fault Operation
If the LM3644 enters a fault condition, the device sets the appropriate flag in the Flags1 and Flags2 Registers
(0x0A and 0x0B), and place the device into standby by clearing the Mode Bits ([1],[0]) in the Enable Register.
The LM3644 remains in standby until an I2C read of the Flags1 and Flags2 Registers are completed. Upon
clearing the flags/faults, the device can be restarted (Flash, Torch, IR, etc.). If the fault is still present, the
LM3644 re-enters the fault state and enters standby again.
8.4.5.2 Flash Time-Out
The Flash Time-Out period sets the amount of time that the Flash Current is being sourced from the current
sources (LED1/2). The LM3644 has 16 timeout levels ranging from 10 ms to 400 ms or 40 ms to 1.6 s on
LM3644TT (see Timing Configuration Register (0x08) for more detail).
8.4.5.3 Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
The output voltage is limited to typically 5 V (see VOVP spec in the Electrical Characteristics). In situations such
as an open LED, the LM3644 raises the output voltage in order to try and keep the LED current at its target
value. When VOUT reaches 5 V (typical) the overvoltage comparator trips and turns off the internal NFET. When
VOUT falls below the “VOVP Off Threshold”, the LM3644 begins switching again. The mode bits are cleared, and
the OVP flag is set, when an OVP condition is present for three rising OVP edges. This prevents momentary
OVP events from forcing the device to shut down.
8.4.5.4 Current Limit
The LM3644 features two selectable inductor current limits that are programmable through the I2C-compatible
interface. When the inductor current limit is reached, the LM3644 terminates the charging phase of the switching
cycle. Switching resumes at the start of the next switching period. If the overcurrent condition persists, the device
operates continuously in current limit.
Since the current limit is sensed in the NMOS switch, there is no mechanism to limit the current when the device
operates in Pass Mode (current does not flow through the NMOS in pass mode). In Boost mode or Pass mode if
VOUT falls below 2.3 V, the device stops switching, and the PFET operates as a current source limiting the
current to 200 mA. This prevents damage to the LM3644 and excessive current draw from the battery during
output short-circuit conditions. The mode bits are not cleared upon a Current Limit event, but a flag is set.
8.4.5.5 NTC Thermistor Input (Torch/Temp)
The TORCH/TEMP pin, when set to TEMP mode, serves as a threshold detector and bias source for negative
temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors. When the voltage at TEMP goes below the programmed threshold,
the LM3644 is placed into standby mode. The NTC threshold voltage is adjustable from 200 mV to 900 mV in
100-mV steps. The NTC bias current is set to 50 µA. The NTC detection circuitry can be enabled or disabled via
the Enable Register. If enabled, the NTC block turns on and off during the start and stop of a Flash/Torch event.
Additionally, the NTC input looks for an open NTC connection and a shorted NTC connection. If the NTC input
falls below 100 mV, the NTC short flag is set, and the device is disabled. If the NTC input rises above 2.3 V, the
NTC Open flag is set, and the device is disabled. These fault detections can be individually disabled/enabled via

Device Functioning Modes (continued)
8.4.5.6 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The LM3644 has an internal comparator that monitors the voltage at IN and forces the LM3644 into standby if
the input voltage drops to 2.5 V. If the UVLO monitor threshold is tripped, the UVLO flag bit is set in the Flags1
Register (0x0A). If the input voltage rises above 2.5 V, the LM3644 is not available for operation until there is an
I2C read of the Flags1 Register (0x0A). Upon a read, the Flags1 register is cleared, and normal operation can
resume if the input voltage is greater than 2.5 V.
8.4.5.7 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
When the LM3644 die temperature reaches 150°C, the thermal shutdown detection circuit trips, forcing the
LM3644 into standby and writing a '1' to the corresponding bit of the Flags1 Register (0x0A) (Thermal Shutdown
bit). The LM3644 is only allowed to restart after the Flags1 Register (0x0A) is read, clearing the fault flag. Upon
restart, if the die temperature is still above 150°C, the LM3644 resets the Fault flag and re-enters standby.
8.4.5.8 LED and/or VOUT Short Fault
The LED Fault flags read back a '1' if the device is active in Flash or Torch mode and either active LED output
experiences a short condition. The Output Short Fault flag reads back a '1' if the device is active in Flash or
Torch mode and the boost output experiences a short condition. An LED short condition is determined if the
voltage at LED1 or LED2 goes below 500 mV (typ.) while the device is in Torch or Flash mode. There is a
deglitch time of 256 μs before the LED Short flag is valid and a deglitch time of 2.048 ms before the VOUT Short
flag is valid. The LED Short Faults can be reset to '0' by removing power to the LM3644, setting HWEN to '0',
setting the SW RESET bit to a '1', or by reading back the Flags1 Register (0x0A on LM3644). The mode bits are
cleared upon an LED and/or VOUT short fault.

8.5.2 I2C-Compatible Interface
8.5.2.1 Data Validity
The data on SDA must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock signal (SCL). In other words, the state of
the data line can only be changed when SCL is LOW.
SCL

data

Figure 37. Data Validity Data
A pullup resistor between the controller's VIO line and SDA must be greater than [(VIO - VOL) / 3 mA] to meet the
VOL requirement on SDA. Using a larger pullup resistor results in lower switching current with slower edges, while
using a smaller pullup results in higher switching currents with faster edges.
8.5.2.2 Start and Stop Conditions
START and STOP conditions classify the beginning and the end of the I2C session. A START condition is
defined as the SDA signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL line is HIGH. A STOP condition is defined
as the SDA transitioning from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C master always generates START and
STOP conditions. The I2C bus is considered busy after a START condition and free after a STOP condition.
During data transmission, the I2C master can generate repeated START conditions. First START and repeated
START conditions are equivalent, function-wise.

Figure 38. Start and Stop Conditions
8.5.2.3 Transferring Data
Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) transferred first. Each
byte of data has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. The acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the
master. The master releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse. The LM3644 pulls down
the SDA line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. The LM3644 generates an acknowledge
after each byte is received. There is no acknowledge created after data is read from the device.
After the START condition, the I2C master sends a chip address. This address is seven bits long followed by an
eighth bit which is a data direction bit (R/W). The LM3644 7-bit address is 0x63. For the eighth bit, a '0' indicates
a WRITE and a '1' indicates a READ. The second byte selects the register to which the data is written. The third
byte contains data to write to the selected register.

8.5.2.4 I2C-Compatible Chip Address
The device address for the LM3644 is 1100011 (0x63). After the START condition, the I2C-compatible master
sends the 7-bit address followed by an eighth read or write bit (R/W). R/W = 0 indicates a WRITE and R/W = 1
indicates a READ. The second byte following the device address selects the register address to which the data is
written. The third byte contains the data for the selected register.

SNVSA52E – AUGUST 2014 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2016
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Output Capacitor Selection
The LM3644 is designed to operate with a 10-µF ceramic output capacitor. When the boost converter is running,
the output capacitor supplies the load current during the boost converter on-time. When the NMOS switch turns
off, the inductor energy is discharged through the internal PMOS switch, supplying power to the load and
restoring charge to the output capacitor. This causes a sag in the output voltage during the on-time and a rise in
the output voltage during the off-time. The output capacitor is therefore chosen to limit the output ripple to an
acceptable level depending on load current and input/output voltage differentials and also to ensure the converter
remains stable.
Larger capacitors such as a 22-µF or capacitors in parallel can be used if lower output voltage ripple is desired.
To estimate the output voltage ripple considering the ripple due to capacitor discharge (ΔVQ) and the ripple due
to the capacitors ESR (ΔVESR) use the following equations:
For continuous conduction mode, the output voltage ripple due to the capacitor discharge is:
ILED x (VOUT - VIN)
'VQ =
fSW x VOUT x COUT
(1)
The output voltage ripple due to the output capacitors ESR is found by:
I LED x VOUT
+ 'I L·
'VESR = R ESR x §
VIN
¹
©
where
'IL =
VIN x (VOUT - VIN )
2 x f SW x L x VOUT
(2)
In ceramic capacitors the ESR is very low so the assumption is that 80% of the output voltage ripple is due to
capacitor discharge and 20% from ESR. Table 1 lists different manufacturers for various output capacitors and
their case sizes suitable for use with the LM3644.
9.2.2.2 Input Capacitor Selection
Choosing the correct size and type of input capacitor helps minimize the voltage ripple caused by the switching
of the LM3644 boost converter and reduce noise on the boost converter's input pin that can feed through and
disrupt internal analog signals. In the typical application circuit a 10-µF ceramic input capacitor works well. It is
important to place the input capacitor as close as possible to the LM3644 input (IN) pin. This reduces the series
resistance and inductance that can inject noise into the device due to the input switching currents. Table 1 lists
various input capacitors recommended for use with the LM3644.

9.2.2.3 Inductor Selection
The LM3644 is designed to use a 0.47-µH or 1-µH inductor. Table 2 lists various inductors and their
manufacturers that work well with the LM3644. When the device is boosting (VOUT > VIN) the inductor is typically
the largest area of efficiency loss in the circuit. Therefore, choosing an inductor with the lowest possible series
resistance is important. Additionally, the saturation rating of the inductor should be greater than the maximum
operating peak current of the LM3644. This prevents excess efficiency loss that can occur with inductors that
operate in saturation. For proper inductor operation and circuit performance, ensure that the inductor saturation
and the peak current limit setting of the LM3644 are greater than IPEAK in the following calculation:

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM3644 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.5 V and 5.5 V. This input
supply must be well regulated and capable to supply the required input current. If the input supply is located far
from the LM3644 additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The high switching frequency and large switching currents of the LM3644 make the choice of layout important.
The following steps should be used as a reference to ensure the device is stable and maintains proper LED
current regulation across its intended operating voltage and current range.
1. Place CIN on the top layer (same layer as the LM3644) and as close to the device as possible. The input
capacitor conducts the driver currents during the low-side MOSFET turn-on and turn-off and can detect
current spikes over 1 A in amplitude. Connecting the input capacitor through short, wide traces to both the IN
and GND pins reduces the inductive voltage spikes that occur during switching which can corrupt the VIN
line.
2. Place COUT on the top layer (same layer as theLM3644) and as close as possible to the OUT and GND pin.
The returns for both CIN and COUT should come together at one point, as close to the GND pin as possible.
Connecting COUT through short, wide traces reduce the series inductance on the OUT and GND pins that can
corrupt the VOUT and GND lines and cause excessive noise in the device and surrounding circuitry.
3. Connect the inductor on the top layer close to the SW pin. There should be a low-impedance connection
from the inductor to SW due to the large DC inductor current, and at the same time the area occupied by the
SW node should be small so as to reduce the capacitive coupling of the high dV/dT present at SW that can
couple into nearby traces.
4. Avoid routing logic traces near the SW node so as to avoid any capacitively coupled voltages from SW onto
any high-impedance logic lines such as TORCH/TEMP, STROBE, HWEN, SDA, and SCL. A good approach
is to insert an inner layer GND plane underneath the SW node and between any nearby routed traces. This
creates a shield from the electric field generated at SW.
5. Terminate the Flash LED cathodes directly to the GND pin of the LM3644. If possible, route the LED returns
with a dedicated path so as to keep the high amplitude LED currents out of the GND plane. For Flash LEDs
that are routed relatively far away from the LM3644, a good approach is to sandwich the forward and return
current paths over the top of each other on two layers. This helps reduce the inductance of the LED current
paths.
