DESCRIPTION
The LM3553 is a fixed frequency, current mode stepup DC/DC converter with two regulated current sinks.
The device is capable of driving loads up to 1.2A
from a single-cell Li-Ion battery.
The LM3553 includes a TX pin that forces Torch
mode during a flash event allowing for
synchronization between the RF power amplifier and
Flash/Torch modes. It also includes a multi-function
pin (M/F) that can serve as a GPIO and a hardware
RESET pin.
The LM3553 is available in a 3mm by 3mm package.

All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
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 =
125ºC), 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 (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX).

Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly application and board-layout dependent. In applications where high maximum power
dissipation exists, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design.

Circuit Description
CIRCUIT COMPONENTS
FEN Pin
The flash enable pin, FEN, provides an external method (non-I2C) for starting the flash pulse. When FEN is pulled
high, logic '1', the flash current level defined through the I2C interface, will be delived to the Flash LED. If the FEN
pin is driven low during the flash pulse, the flash event will stop. In the event that FEN is not pulled low during the
flash pulse, the LM3553 will continue to deliver the flash current until the safety timer duration (set through the
I2C interface) is reached.
The LM3553 does not provide a fixed off-time after the flash pulse has ended. Most flash LED manufacturers
require that the flash pulse duration be 10% of the total Flash cycle. Example: If the flash pulse duration is set to
be 200 milliseconds (Flash Duration Code= 0011), the recommended off time for the LED would be 1.8 seconds.
Please consult the LED manufacturers datasheet for exact timing requirements.
If the LM3553 is placed in indicator mode or torch mode through the I2C interface and the FEN pin is pulled high
and then low, at the end of the flash event, the LM3553 will return to the mode stored in the General Purpose
Register.
It is recommended that an external pull-down be placed between the FEN pin and GND to prevent unwanted LED
flashing during system start-up due to unknown control logic states.

SNVS414B – FEBRUARY 2008 – REVISED MAY 2013
TX Pin
The transmission pin (TX) can be used to limit the current drawn from the battery during a PA transmission.
When the TX pin is driven high (logic '1') during a flash pulse, the LM3553 will switch to the programmed torch
current level. Once the TX pin is driven low (logic '0'), the LM3553 will return to the flash current if this event
occurs within the original flash duration.
It is recommended that an external pull-down be placed between the TX pin and GND to prevent unwanted LED
flashing during system start-up due to unknown control logic states.
M/F Pin
The multi-function pin (M/F) can be configured to provide hardware RESET or a general purpose input/output
(GPIO). All functionality is programmed through the I2C compatible interface and set in the M/F pin functionality
control register (address 0x20). The default function is a RESET, where a logic '1' places the part in the normal
operating mode, and a logic '0' places the part into a RESET state. A reset condition will place all LM3553
registers into their default states.

DATA VALIDITY
The data on SDA line 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 CLK is LOW.

Figure 16. Data Validity Diagram
A pull-up resistor between VIO and SDA must be greater than [(VIO-VOL) / 3.7mA] to meet the VOL requirement
on SDA. Using a larger pull-up resistor results in lower switching current with slower edges, while using a smaller
pull-up results in higher switching currents with faster edges.

START AND STOP CONDITIONS
START and STOP conditions classify the beginning and the end of the I2C session. A START condition is
defined as 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 to be 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. The data on SDA line 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 CLK is LOW.

SCL
S
P
START condition

Figure 17. Start and Stop Conditions
TRANSFERRING DATA
Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) being 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 LM3553 pulls
down the SDA line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. The LM3553 generates an
acknowledge after each byte has been received.
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 LM3553 address is 53h. 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 will be written. The
third byte contains data to write to the selected register.

Indicator Mode sets ILED = 20mA. In this mode, D1 is enabled and D2 is disabled.
VM: Enables Voltage Mode. Current sinks D1 and D2 are turned off and the LM3553 will operate in a regulated
voltage boost mode. Setting the VM bit to a '1' does not override the EN0 and EN1 bits stored in the general
purpose register. The default setting is '0'. If the LM3553 is in Voltage Mode and an indicator, torch or flash
command is issued, the LM3553 will turn on the D1 and D2 current sources and begin regulating the output
voltage to a value equal to VFB (350mV or 450mV) + VLED.

VFB: Selects the regulation voltage for the LM3553. Setting this VFB bit to a '0' sets the regulation voltage to
450mV while setting the VFB bit to a '1' sets the regulation voltage to 350mV. Setting the VFB bit to a '1' during
torch mode and/or lower current flash modes (ILED < 1A) will help improve the LED efficiency of the LM3553.

RESET: Enables M/F as hardware RESET. '0' = Hardware RESET, .'1' = GPIO or current sink depending on the
MODE bit. Default = '0'
MODE: Sets M/F mode. Default for M0DE = '0'. '0' = GPI, and'1' = GPO
NOTE
When M/F is configured as an input, data is transfered from GPI to DATA whenever an
I2C write command is issued to the LM3553. When configuring M/F as a GPO, the first
write needs to take the LM3553 out of RESET mode and a second write can then set the
pin to the GPO.
DATA: GPIO Data. When the M/F is configured as an output (GPO), DATA sets the GPO level. Example: DATA
= '1', M/F is set high or logic '1'. When the M/F pin is configured as an input (GPI), DATA stores the GPI level.
Example: M/F = '1', DATA will be set to a '1'. Default for DATA = '0'.
OVP: Enables high-voltage OVP (OVP Bit ='1') or low-voltage OVP (OVP Bit ='0'). Default = low-voltage mode '0'
OCL: SW Pin Current Limit Selector Bit: If OCL = '0', the inductor current limit is 2.5A typ. If OCL = '1', the
inductor current limit is 1.7A typ.

FC6-FC0: Sets Flash current level for D1 and D2. x111 1111 = Fullscale
Current Level Equation
The Full-Scale Flash Current Level is set through the use of an external resistor (RSET) connected to the ISET pin.
The RSET selection equation can be used to set the current through each of the two current sinks, D1 and D2.
RSET = 6770 × 1.24V ÷ IDx

The current through each current sink, D1 and D2, can be approximated by the following equation using the
values stored in either the Torch or Flash Current Control registers.
IFLASH≊ (N + 1) × ILED_TOTAL ÷ 128
where N is the decimal equivalent number (0 ≤ N ≤ 127 for Flash and 0 ≤ N ≤ 31 for Torch) stored in the Torch or
Flash Current control registers and ILED_TOTAL = ID1 + ID2 @ Full-scale. Brightness codes 0 through 4 are repeated
and each sets the total LED current to approximately 40mA.

Application Information
INDUCTOR SELECTION
The LM3553 is designed to use a 2.2µH inductor. When the device is boosting (VOUT > VIN) the inductor is one of
the biggest sources 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 LM3553. This prevents excess efficiency loss that can occur with
inductors that operate in saturation and prevents over heating of the inductor and possible damage. For proper
inductor operation and circuit performance ensure that the inductor saturation and the peak current limit setting of
the LM3553 (2.6A or 1.8A) is greater than IPEAK. IPEAK can be calculated by:
ILOAD
IPEAK =

CAPACITOR SELECTION
The LM3553 requires 2 external capacitors for proper operation (CIN = 10µF recommended (4.7µF min.) and
COUT = 10µF (single LED) or 4.7µF (series LEDs)). Surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors are
recommended. These capacitors are small, inexpensive and have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR
