SNOSB43C – SEPTEMBER 2011 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2016
LM3560 Synchronous Boost Flash Driver
With Dual 1-A High-Side Current Sources (2-A Total Flash Current)
1 Features
3 Description
•
The LM3560 is a 2-MHz fixed frequency synchronous
boost converter with two 1000-mA constant current
drivers for high-current white LEDs. The dual highside current sources allow for grounded cathode LED
operation and can be tied together for providing flash
currents at up to 2 A through a single LED. An
adaptive regulation method ensures the current for
each LED remains in regulation and maximizes
efficiency.

The LM3560 is controlled via an I2C-compatible
interface. Features include an internal 4-bit ADC to
monitor the LED voltage, independent LED current
control, a hardware flash enable allowing a logic input
to trigger the flash pulse, dual TX inputs which force
the flash pulse into a low-current torch mode allowing
for synchronization to RF power amplifier events or
other high-current conditions, and an integrated
comparator designed to monitor an NTC thermistor
and provide an interrupt to the LED current.
Additionally, an active high HWEN input provides a
hardware shutdown during system software failures.
The device is available in an ultra-small 16-pin
DSBGA package. The 2-MHz switching frequency,
overvoltage protection and adjustable current limit
allow for the use of tiny, low-profile (1-µH and 2.2-µH)
inductors and ceramic (10-µF) capacitors.

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.
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.

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
device package in the application (RθJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (RθJA × PD-MAX).

All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
Minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) limits are specified by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical (TYP) numbers represent the
most likely norm. Unless otherwise stated, conditions for typical specifications are: VIN = 3.6 V and TA = 25°C.
The typical curve for overvoltage protection (OVP) is measured in closed loop using Figure 41 . The OVP value is found by forcing an
open circuit in the LED1 and LED2 path and recording the peak value of VOUT. The value given in Electrical Characteristics is found in
an open loop configuration by ramping the voltage at OUT until the OVP comparator trips. The closed loop data can appear higher due
to the stored energy in the inductor being dumped into the output capacitor after the OVP comparator trips. Worst case is an open circuit
condition where the output voltage can continue to rise after the OVP comparator trips by approximately IIN × sqrt(L/COUT).
The typical curve for current limit is measured in closed loop using Figure 41, and increasing IOUT until the peak inductor current stops
increasing. The value given in Electrical Characteristics is measured open loop and is found by forcing current into SW until the current
limit comparator threshold is reached. Closed loop data appears higher due to the delay between the comparator trip point and the
NFET turning off. This delay allows the closed loop inductor current to ramp higher after the trip point by approximately 20 ns × VIN/L.

The typical curve for current limit is measured in closed loop using Figure 41, and increasing IOUT until the peak
inductor current stops increasing. The value given in Electrical Characteristics is measured open loop and is found
by forcing current into SW until the current limit comparator threshold is reached. Closed loop data appears higher
due to the delay between the comparator trip point and the NFET turning off. This delay allows the closed loop
inductor current to ramp higher after the trip point by approximately 20 ns × VIN/L.

The typical curve for overvoltage protection (OVP) is measured in closed loop using Figure 41 . The OVP value is
found by forcing an open circuit in the LED1 and LED2 path and recording the peak value of VOUT. The value given
in Electrical Characteristics is found in an open loop configuration by ramping the voltage at OUT until the OVP
comparator trips. The closed loop data can appear higher due to the stored energy in the inductor being dumped
into the output capacitor after the OVP comparator trips. Worst case is an open circuit condition where the output
voltage can continue to rise after the OVP comparator trips by approximately IIN × sqrt(L/COUT).

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM3560 is a high-power white-LED flash driver capable of delivering up to 2 A of LED current into a single
LED or up to 1 A into two parallel LEDs. The device incorporates a 2-MHz constant frequency, a synchronous
boost converter, and two high-side current sources to regulate the LED current over the 2.5-V to 5.5-V input
voltage range.
During operation when the output voltage is greater than VIN – 150 mV the boost converter switches and
maintains at least 300 mV across both current sources (LED1 and LED2). This minimum headroom voltage
ensures that the current sources remain in regulation. When the input voltage rises above the LED voltage +
current source headroom voltage, the device stops switching and turns the PFET on continuously (pass mode).
In pass mode the difference between (VIN – ILED × RON_P) and the voltage across the LEDs is dropped across the
current sources.
Four hardware control pins provide control of the LM3560. These include a hardware flash enable (STROBE),
dual flash Interrupt inputs (TX1 and TX2) designed to interrupt the flash pulse during high battery current
conditions, and a logic high hardware enable (HWEN) that can be pulled low to rapidly place the device into
shutdown. Additional features of the LM3560 include an internal 4-bit ADC for LED voltage monitoring, an
internal comparator for LED thermal sensing via an external NTC thermistor, an input voltage monitor that can
reduce the flash current during input undervoltage conditions, a low-power message indicator LED current
source, and a mode for utilizing the flash LEDs as a privacy indicator.
Control of the LM3560 is done via an I2C-compatible interface. This includes adjustment of the flash and torch
current levels, adjustment of the indicator LED currents, changing the flash timeout duration, changing the switch
current limit, and reading back the ADC results. Additionally, there are 8 flag bits that indicate flash current timeout, LED overtemperature, LED failure (LED short or output OVP condition), device thermal shutdown, VIN
undervoltage condition, VIN flash monitor undervoltage condition, and the occurrence of a TX1 or TX2 interrupt.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Power Amplifier Synchronization (Tx1)
The TX1/TORCH/GPIO1 pin has a triple function. With configuration register 1 bit [7] = 0 (default)
TX1/TORCH/GPIO1 is a power amplifier synchronization input (TX1 mode). This mode is designed to reduce the
flash LED current when TX1 is driven high (active high polarity) or driven low (active low polarity). When the
LM3560 is engaged in a flash event and TX1/TORCH is driven high, the active current sources (LED1 and/or
LED2) are forced into torch mode at the programmed torch current setting. If TX1 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 timeout,
whether the TX1/TORCH pin is high or low, the LED current turns off.
The polarity of TX1 can be changed from active high to active low by writing a 0 to bit [5] of Configuration
Register 1. With this bit set to 0 the LM3560 is forced into torch mode when TX1/TORCH is pulled low. Figure 21
details the functionality of the TX1 Interrupt.
7.3.1.1 TX1 Shutdown
TX1 also has the capability to force shutdown. Bit [4] of configuration register 2 set to a 1, changes TX1 from a
force torch when active to a force shutdown when active. For example, if TX1/TORCH/GPIO1 is configured for
TX1 mode with active high polarity, and bit[4] of configuration register 2 is set to 1, then when TX1 is driven high,
the active current sources (LED1 and/or LED2) is forced into shutdown. Once the active current sources are
forced into shutdown by activating TX1, the current sources can only be re-enabled into flash mode if TX1 is
pulled low and the flags register is read back. If only the flags register is read back and TX1 is kept high the
device is re-enabled into torch mode and not shutdown. This occurs because the TX1 shutdown feature is an
edge-triggered event. With active high polarity the TX1 shutdown requires a rising edge at TX1 in order to force
the current source into shutdown. Once shut down, it takes a read back of the flags register and another rising
edge at TX1 to force shutdown again. Figure 34 details the different responses of the TX1 shutdown mode.

7.3.2 Independent LED Control
Bits [4:3] of the eenable register provide for independent turnon and turnoff of the LED1 or LED2 current
sources. Once enabled, the LED current is adjusted by writing to the torch brightness or flash brightness
registers depending on whether flash or torch mode is selected. Both the torch brightness and the flash
brightness registers provide for independent current programming for the LED currents in either LED1 or LED2.

7.3.3 Hardware Torch
With configuration register 1 Bit [7] = 1, TX1/TORCH/GPIO1 is configured as a hardware torch mode enable. In
this mode, a high at TX1/TORCH turns on the LED current at the programmed torch current setting. The
STROBE input and I2C-enabled flash takes precedence over torch mode. In hardware torch mode, both LED1
and LED2 current sources turn off after a flash event and configuration register 1 Bit [7] is reset to 0. In this
situation, to re-enter torch mode via hardware torch, the hardware torch enable bit (configuration register 1 Bit
[7]) must be reset to 1. Figure 22 details the functionality of hardware torch mode.

7.3.4 Fault Protections
7.3.4.1 Overvoltage Protection
The output voltage is limited to typically 5 V (5.075 V maximum). In situations such as the current source open,
the LM3560 raises the output voltage to try to keep the LED current at its target value. When VOUT reaches 5 V,
the overvoltage comparator trips and turns off both the internal NFET and PFET. When VOUT falls below 4.8 V
(typical), the LM3560 begins switching again.
7.3.4.2 Current Limit
The LM3560 features 4 selectable current limits: 1.6 A, 2.3 A, 3 A, and 3.6 A. These are programmable through
the I2C-compatible interface via bits [6:5] of the flash duration register. When the current limit is reached, the
LM3560 stops switching for the remainder of the switching cycle.
Because the current limit is sensed in the NMOS switch there is no mechanism to limit the current when the
device operates in pass mode. In situations where there could potentially be large load currents at OUT, and the
LM3560 device is operating in pass mode, the load current must be limited to 3 A. In boost mode or pass mode if
VOUT falls below approximately 2.3 V, the device stops switching and the PFET operates as a current source,
limiting the current to typically 350 mA. This prevents damage to the LM3560 and excessive current draw from
the battery during output short-circuit conditions.
7.3.4.3 Flash Timeout
The flash-timeout period sets the amount of time that the flash current is being sourced from current sources
LED1 and LED2. Bits [4:0] of the flash duration register set the flash-timeout period. There are 32 different flashtimeout durations in steps of 32 ms giving a flash timeout range of 32 ms to 1024 ms (see Table 15).
7.3.4.4 Indicator LED/Thermistor (LED1/NTC)
The LEDI/NTC pin serves a dual function: either as a programmable LED message indicator driver or as a
comparator input for negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.4.4.1 Message Indicator Current Source (LEDI/NTC)
LEDI/NTC is configured as a message indicator current source by setting configuration register 1 bit [4] = (0)
default. The indicator current source is enabled/disabled via the enable register bit [6] = (1). Bit [7] of the enable
register enables the message Indicator in blink mode. If the message indicator is set for blinking mode, the
pattern programmed into the indicator register, and indicator blinking register is output on the Indicator current
source.
The indicator blinking register controls the following (see Table 6):
1. Number of blank periods (BLANK #). This has 16 settings. tBLANK = tACTIVE × BLANK# , where tACTIVE =
tPERIOD × PERIOD#
2. Pulse width (tPULSE) has 16 settings between 0 and 480 ms in steps of 32 ms. The pulse width is the duration
that the indicator current is at its programmed set point at the end of the ramp-up time.
The indicator register controls the following (see Table 5):
1. Indicator current level (IIND). There are 8 indicator current levels from 2.25 mA to 18 mA in steps of 2.25 mA.
2. Number of periods (PERIOD #). This has 8 steps. A period (tPERIOD) is found by
tPERIOD = tR + tF + 2 x tPULSE. (see Figure 23 for indicator timing).
3. Ramp times (tR or tF) for turnon and turnoff of the indicator current source. Four programmable times of 78
ms, 156 ms, 312 ms, and 624 ms are available. The ramp times apply for both ramp-up and ramp-down and
are not independently changeable.

7.3.4.4.2 Updating The Message Indicator
The best way to update the message indicator is to disable the message indicator output via the enable register
bit [6], then write the new sequence to the indicator register and/or indicator blinking register, and then re-enable
the message indicator. Updating the indicator registers while it is active can lead to long delays between pattern
changes. This is especially true if the PERIOD#, or BLANK# setting is changed from a high setting to a lower
setting.
7.3.5 Input Voltage Monitor
The LM3560 has an internal comparator at IN which monitors the input voltage and can force the LED current
into torch mode or into shutdown if VIN falls below the programmable VIN monitor threshold. Bit 0 in the VIN
monitor register enables or disables this feature. When enabled, Bits [2:1] program the 4 adjustable thresholds of
2.9 V, 3 V, 3.1 V, and 3.2 V. Bit 3 in configuration register 2 selects whether a VIN monitor event forces torch
mode or forces LED1 and/or LED2 into shutdown. See Table 11 for additional information. When the input
voltage monitor is active, and VIN falls below the programmed VIN monitor threshold, the LEDs turns off or is
forced into the torch current setting. To reset the LED current to its previous level, two things must occur. First,
VIN must go above the VIN monitor threshold, and the flags register must be read back. See Figure 26 for the VIN
monitor timing waveform.
To avoid noise from falsely triggering the VIN monitor, this mode incorporates a 250 µs de-glitch timer. With the
VIN monitor active, VIN must go below the VIN monitor threshold (VIN_TH), and remain below it, for 250 µs before
the LEDs are forced into torch mode (or shutdown) and the VIN monitor flag is written.

For the VIN flash monitor test, when the 2-A flash starts up the voltage at IN begins to drop via the rising input current
ramp and the source resistance RS As soon as the input voltage crosses the programmed VIN flash monitor threshold
the flash current ramp is stopped, and the LM3560 flashes at the reduced current
(2)
For the VIN monitor test, with a 2-A flash current the voltage at IN is VBATT – IBATT × RS. When Q1 turns on the added
load causes VIN to drop by the additional current (VIN / RL) which flows through RS. When VIN drops the programmed
VIN monitor threshold is crossed, and the flash current pulse steps to the programmed torch current level causing VIN
to step up.
Figure 27. VIN Monitor/VIN Flash Monitor Test Circuit
7.3.5.1 Input Voltage Flash Monitor (Flash Current Rising)
A second comparator at the IN pin is available to monitor the input voltage during the flash current turnon (Input
voltage flash monitor). Bit [3] of the VIN monitor register enables/disables this feature. With this bit set to 1, the
VIN flash monitor is active, and bits [5:4] of the VIN monitor register program the 4 selectable thresholds of (2.9 V,
3 V, 3.1 V, and 3.2 V). The VIN flash monitor operates as follows: during flash current turnon the current sources
transitions through each of the lower flash current levels until the target flash current is reached. With the input
voltage flash monitor active, if during the flash current turnon the input voltage falls below the VIN flash monitor
threshold, the flash current is stopped at the level that the current ramp had risen to, at the time of the VIN flash
monitor event. The VIN flash monitor only operates during the ramping up of the flash LED current.
The VIN flash monitor ignores the first 2 flash codes during the flash current turnon. As a result, if the VIN flash
monitor is enabled and VIN were to fall below the VIN flash threshold as the LED current ramps up through either
of the first two levels, then the flash pulse would not be halted until code number 3 (168.75 mA per current
source).
To avoid noise from falsely triggering the VIN flash monitor, this mode incorporates an 8µs de-glitch timer as well
as an internal analog filter at the input of the VIN flash monitor comparator. With the VIN flash monitor active, VIN
must go below the VIN flash monitor threshold (VIN_FLASH), and remain below it, for 8 µs before the flash current
ramp is halted and the VIN flash monitor flag is written.
7.3.6 Last Flash Register
Once the VIN flash monitor is tripped, the flash code that corresponded to the LED current at which the flash
current ramp was halted is written to the last flash register. The last flash register is a read-only register and has
the lower 4 bits available to latch the code for LED1 and the upper 4 bits to latch the code for LED2.
For example, suppose that the LM3560 is set up for a single LED with a target flash current of 1250 mA and the
VIN flash monitor is enabled with the VIN flash monitor threshold set to 3 V (VIN monitor register bits [5:4] = 0, 1).
When the STROBE input is brought high, the LED current begins ramping up through the torch and flash current
codes at 32 µs/code. As the input current increases, the input voltage at the IN pin of the LM3560 device begins
to fall due to the source impedance of the battery. By the time the LED current has reached 1000 mA (code 0x77
or 500 mA per current source), VIN falls below 3 V. The VIN flash monitor then stops the flash current ramp, and
the LM3560 continues to proceed with the flash pulse, but at 1000 mA instead of 1250 mA. Figure 28 details this
sequence.

7.3.7 LED Voltage Monitor
The LM3560 includes a 4-bit ADC which monitors the LED forward voltage (VLED) and stores the digitized value
in bits [3:0] of the VLED monitor register. The highest voltage of VLED1 or VLED2 is automatically sensed and that
becomes the sample point for the ADC. Bit 5, the ADC shutdown bit, enables/disables the ADC with the default
state set to enable (bit [5] = 0).
7.3.8 ADC Delay
The ADC delay register provides for a programmable delay from 250 µs to 8 ms in steps of 250 µs. This delay is
the delay from when the EOC bit goes low to when the VLED monitor samples the LED voltage. In automatic
mode the EOC bit goes low when the flash LED current hits its target. In Manual mode the EOC bit goes low at
the end of a read back of the VLED monitor register (or when the manual mode bit (bit 4) is re-written with a 1).

7.3.9 Flags Register and Fault Indicators
Eight fault flags are available in the LM3560. These include a flash timeout, a thermal shutdown, an LED failure
flag (LED shorted or output going OVP indicating LED open), an LED thermal flag (NTC threshold tripping), a VIN
monitor flag, and a VIN flash monitor flag. Additionally, two LED interrupt flag bits (TX1 interrupt and TX2
interrupt) are set when the corresponding interrupt is activated. Reading back a 1 indicates the flagged event has
happened. A read of the flags register resets these bits.
7.3.9.1 Flash Timeout
The timeout (TO) flag, (bit [0] of the flags register) reads back a 1 if the LM3560 is active in flash mode and the
timeout period expires before the flash pulse is terminated. The flash pulse can be terminated before the timeout
period expires by pulling the STROBE pin low (with enable register bit [5] = 0), or by writing a (0,0) to bit [1:0] of
the enable register. The TO flag is reset to 0 by pulling HWEN low, removing power to the LM3560, or reading
the flags register.
7.3.9.2 Thermal Shutdown
The LM3560 features a thermal shutdown threshold of typically 150°C. When the devices die temperature
reaches 150°C the active current sources (LED1 and/or LED2) shuts down, and the TSD flag in the flags register
is written high. The device cannot be started up again until the flags register is read back. Once the flags register
is read back either current source can be re-enabled into privacy, torch, or flash mode. The thermal shutdown
(TSD) circuitry has an internal 250 µs de-glitch timer which helps prevent unwanted noise from falsely triggering
a TSD event. However, when the LM3560 is in boost mode at higher flash currents, the de-glitch timer can get
reset by the high currents in the GND of the LM3560 device. As a result the internal de-glitch timer of the thermal
shutdown can be reset before the TSD event can get latched in. This prevents a TSD event from being triggered
until the flash pulse of the LM3560 reaches the end of the flash duration, when the noisy currents have dropped
to a lower level. However, once the noise is lower, and a TSD event is triggered, the next flash pulse is not
allowed until the flags register is read back. In pass mode the boost switcher is off and the lower noise
environment allows the devices TSD circuitry to shut down immediately when the die temperature reaches
150°C.
7.3.9.3 LED Fault
The LED fault flag (bit 2 of the flags register) reads back a 1 if the part is active in flash or torch mode and either
LED1 or LED2 experience an open or short condition. An LED open condition is signaled if the OVP threshold is
crossed at the OUT pin while the device is in flash, torch, or privacy mode. An LED short condition is signaled if
the voltage at LED1 or LED2 goes below 500 mV while the device is in flash, torch, or privacy mode. In an LED
open condition there is a 2-µs deglitch time from when the output voltage crosses the OVP threshold to when the
LED fault flag is triggered. In an LED short condition there is a 250-µs deglitch time from when the LED voltage
falls below 500 mV until the LED fault flag is set. The LED fault flag can only be reset to 0 by pulling HWEN low,
cycling power, or by removing the fault condition and reading back the flags register.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.9.4 TX1 and TX2 Interrupt Flags
The TX1 and TX2 interrupt flags (bits [3] and [4]) indicate an interrupt event has occurred on the respective TX
inputs. Bit 3 reads back a 1 if TX1 is in TX mode and there has been a TX1 event since the last read of the flags
register. Bit 4 reads back a 1 if TX2 is in TX mode and there has been a TX2 event since the last read of the
flags register. A read of the flags register automatically resets these bits. A TX event on TX1 or TX2, can be a
high-to-low transition or a low-to-high transition depending on the setting of the TX1 and TX2 polarity bits (see
Configuration Register 1 (Address 0xE0) bits [6:5]).
7.3.9.5 LED Thermal Fault (NTC Flag)
The NTC flag (bit [5] of the flags register) reads back a 1 if the LM3560 is active in flash or torch mode, the
device is in NTC mode, and the voltage at LEDI/NTC has fallen below VTRIP (1V typical). When this has
happened, and the LM3560 has been forced into torch mode or LED shutdown (depending on the state of
configuration register 2 bit [1), the flags register must be read, and VLEDI/NTC must go above 1 V in order to place
the device back in normal operation. (see NTC Mode for more details).
7.3.9.6 VIN Flash Monitor Fault
The VIN flash monitor flag (bit [6] of the flags register) reads back a 1 if the VIN flash monitor is enabled and VIN
falls below the programmed VIN flash monitor threshold. This flag must be read back in order to resume normal
operation after the LED current has been forced to the lower flash current setting.
7.3.9.7 VIN Monitor Fault
The VIN monitor flag (bit [7] of the flag register) reads back a 1 when the VIN monitor is enabled and VIN falls
below the programmed VIN monitor threshold. This flag must be read back and VIN must go above the VIN
monitor threshold in order to resume normal operation after the LED current has been forced to torch mode or
turned off due to a VIN monitor event.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Start-Up (Enabling the Device)
Turnon of the LM3560 is done through bits [1:0] of the enable register. These bits enable the device in torch
mode, flash mode, or privacy Indicate mode. Additionally, bit 6 of the enable register enables the message
indicator at the LEDI/NTC pin. On start-up, when VOUT is less than VIN, the internal synchronous PFET turns on
as a current source and delivers 350 mA to the output capacitor. During this time both current sources (LED1,
and LED2) are off. When the voltage across the output capacitor reaches 2.2 V the current sources can turn on.
At turnon the current sources step through each FLASH and TORCH level until their target LED current is
reached (32 µs/step). This gives the device a controlled turnon and limits inrush current from the VIN supply.
7.4.2 Pass Mode
On turnon, when the output voltage charges up to VIN – 150 mV, the LM3560 operates in either pass mode or
boost mode. If the voltage difference between VOUT and VLED is less then 300 mV, the device operates in boost
mode. If the difference between VOUT and VLED is greater then 300 mV, the device operates in pass mode. In
pass mode the boost converter stops switching and the synchronous PFET turns fully on bringing VOUT up to
VIN – IIN × RPMOS where RPMOS = 80 mΩ. In pass mode the inductor current is not limited by the peak current
limit. In this situation the output current must be limited to 3 A.
7.4.3 Flash Mode
In flash mode the LED current sources (LED1 and LED2) each provide 16 different current levels from typically
62.5 mA (total) to 2 A (total) in steps of 62.5 mA. The flash currents are adjusted via the flash brightness register.
Flash mode is activated by writing a (1, 1) to bits [1:0] of the enable register or by enabling the hardware flash
input (STROBE) via bit [2] of Configuration Register 1, and then pulling the STROBE pin high (high polarity).
Once the flash sequence is activated the active current sources (LED1 and/or LED2) ramps up to their
programmed flash current level by stepping through all torch and flash levels (32 µs/step) until the programmed
current is reached.
Bit [5] of the enable register (STROBE level/edge bit) determines how the flash pulse terminates after STROBE
goes high. With the level/edge bit = 1, the flash current only terminates when it reaches the end of the flash
timeout period. With the level/edge bit = 0, flash mode can be terminated by pulling STROBE low, programming
bits [1:0] of the enable register with (0,0), or by allowing the flash timeout period to elapse. If the level/edge bit =
0 and STROBE is toggled before the end of the flash timeout period, the timeout period resets. Figure 31 and
Figure 32 detail the flash pulse termination for the different level/edge bit settings.

After the flash pulse terminates, either by a flash timeout, pulling STROBE low, or disabling it via the I2Ccompatible interface, LED1 and LED2 turn completely off. This happens even when torch is enabled via the I2Ccompatible interface and the flash pulse is turned on by toggling STROBE. After a flash event ends, bits [1:0] of
the enable register are automatically reset with (0, 0). The exception occurs when the privacy terminate bit is low
(bit [3]) in the privacy register. In this case, the specific current source that is enabled for privacy mode turns
back on after the flash pulse.
7.4.4 Torch Mode
In torch mode the current sources LED1 and LED2 each provide 8 different current levels (Torch Brightness
Register Descriptions (Address 0xA0)). Torch mode is activated by setting enable register bits [1:0] to (1, 0).
Once torch mode is enabled, the current sources ramps up to the programmed torch current level by stepping
through all of the torch currents at (32 µs/step) until the programmed torch current level is reached.
7.4.5 Privacy Indicator Mode
The current sources (LED1 and/or LED2) can also be used as a privacy indicator before and after flash mode.
Privacy indicate mode is enabled by setting the enable register bit [1:0] to (0, 1). Privacy mode is configured via
the privacy register. This allows the selection of which current source to use as the privacy indicator (either
LED1, LED2, or both), whether or not the privacy indicate mode turns off at the end of the flash pulse, the 3
selectable privacy blink periods (tBLINK), and the 8 duty cycle settings for the privacy indicator average current.
The intensity of the LEDs in privacy indicate mode is set by PWM controlling either the lowest torch current level
(31.25 mA per current source) or the highest torch current level (250 mA per current source). Bit [2] in the enable
register selects between these two levels. Bits [2:0] in the privacy register select the 8 different duty cycles of
10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80%. This enables privacy mode to have a PWM-controlled torch
current with a wide number of values (see Table 1 ). The privacy blink options (tBLINK) are set via bit [7:6] of the
privacy register. Selectable options are 128 ms, 256 ms, 512 ms, or always on. The blink pulse period is set to 2
× tBLINK. Figure 33 details the timing for the privacy indicate mode timing on ILED1 or ILED2.

7.4.6 GPIO1 Mode
With bit [0] of the GPIO register set to 1, the TX1/TORCH/GPIO1 pin is configured as a logic I/O. In this mode
the TX1/TORCH/GPIO1 pin is readable and writable as a logic input/output via bits [2:1] of the GPIO register
(see GPIO Register (Address 0x20) for programming the GPIO1 output).
7.4.7 TX2/INT/GPIO2
The TX2/INT/GPIO2 pin has a triple function. In TX2 mode (default) the TX2/INT/GPIO2 pin is an active high
flash interrupt. With GPIO register bit [3] = 1 the TX2/INT/GPIO2 pin is configured as general purpose logic I/O.
With GPIO register bit [6] = 1, and with the TX2/INT/GPIO2 pin configured as a GPIO2 output, the
TX2/INT/GPIO2 pin is an interrupt output.
7.4.8 TX2 Mode
In TX2 mode, when configuration register 1, bit [6] = 0, TX2 is an active low flash interrupt. Under this condition
when the LM3560 is engaged in a flash event and TX2 is pulled low, the active current source (LED1 and/or
LED2) are forced into torch mode. In TX2 mode with configuration register 1, bit [6] = 1, TX2 is configured for
active high polarity. Under this condition, when the LM3560 is engaged in a flash event and TX2 is driven high,
the active current source (LED1 and/or LED2) are forced into torch mode. During a TX2 interrupt event, if the
TX2 input is disengaged, the LED current returns to the previous flash current level. Figure 21 details the
functionality of the TX2 interrupt.
7.4.8.1 TX2 Shutdown
TX2 also has the capability to force shutdown. When bit [0] of configuration register 2 is set to a 1, TX2 forces
shutdown when active. For example, if TX2 is configured for TX2 mode with active high polarity, and bit [0] of
Configuration Register 2 is set to 1 then when TX2 is driven high, the active current sources (LED1 and/or LED2)
is forced into shutdown. Once the active current sources are forced into shutdown by activating TX2, the current
sources can only be re-enabled in flash mode if TX2 is pulled low and the flags register is read back. If only the
flags register is read back and TX2 is kept high, the device is re-enabled into torch mode and not shut down.
This occurs because the TX2 shutdown feature is an edge-triggered event. With active high polarity the TX2
shutdown requires a rising edge at TX2 in order to force the current sources into shutdown. Once shut down, it
takes a read back of the flags register and another rising edge at TX2 to force shutdown again. Figure 34 details
TX2 shutdown mode.

TX2/INT/GPIO2 pin is readable and writable as a logic input/output via bits [5:4] of the GPIO register. See
Table 8 for programming the GPIO2 output.

7.4.10 Interrupt Output (INT Mode)
The TX2/INT/GPIO2 pin can be reconfigured as an active low interrupt output by setting bit [6] in the GPIO
register to 1 and configuring TX2/INT/GPIO2 as a GPIO2 output (bits [4:3] of GPIO register = 11). In this mode,
TX2/INT/GPIO2 pulls low when any of these conditions exist:
1. The LM3560 is configured for NTC mode (configuration register 1 bit [4] = 1), and the voltage at LEDI/NTC
has fallen below VTRIP (1 V typical).
2. The LM3560 is configured for VIN monitor mode (VIN monitor register bit [0] = 1), and VIN falls below the
programmed VIN monitor threshold.
3. The LM3560 is configured for VIN flash monitor mode (VIN monitor register bit [3] = 1), and VIN falls below the
programmed VIN flash monitor threshold.
Once INT is pulled low due to any of the above conditions having been met, INT only goes high again if any of
the conditions are no longer true and the flags register is read.

7.4.11 NTC Mode
Writing a (1) to configuration register 1 bit [4] configures the LEDI/NTC pin for NTC mode. In this mode the
indicator current source is disabled, and LEDI/NTC becomes the positive input to the an internal comparator.
NTC mode operates as a LED current interrupt that is triggered when the voltage at LEDI/NTC goes below 1 V.
Two actions can be taken when the NTC comparator is tripped. With configuration register 2 bit [1] set to 0 the
NTC interrupt forces the LED current from flash mode into torch mode. with configuration register 2 bit [1] set to
1, the NTC interrupt forces the LED current into shutdown.
Whether in NTC force torch or NTC shutdown, in order to re-enter flash mode after an NTC event, two things
must occur. First, the NTC input must be above the 1-V threshold. Secondly, the flags register must be read.
To avoid noise from falsely triggering the NTC comparator, this mode incorporates a 250 µs de-glitch timer. With
NTC mode active, VLEDI/NTC must go below the trip point (VTRIP) and remain below it for 250 µs before the LEDs
are forced into torch mode (or shutdown) and the NTC flag is written.

7.4.12 Alternate External Torch (AET) Mode
With configuration register 2 bit [2] set to 1, the LM3560 is configured for AET mode, and the operation of
TX1/TORCH becomes dependent on its occurrence relative to the STROBE input. In this mode, if TX1/TORCH
goes high first, then STROBE goes high, the LEDs are forced into torch mode with no timeout. In this mode, if
TX1/TORCH goes high after STROBE has gone high, then the TX1/TORCH pin operates as a normal LED
current interrupt (TX1), and the LEDs turn off at the end of the timeout duration (see Figure 36).

7.4.13 Automatic Conversion Mode
With the ADC enabled, a conversion is performed each time a flash pulse is started. When a flash pulse is
started bit [6] of the VLED monitor register end-of-conversion (EOC) bit is automatically written with a 0. At the
end of the conversion, bit [6] goes high signaling that the VLED data is valid. A read back of the VLED monitor
register clears the EOC bit. Figure 26 shows the VLED monitor automatic conversion.
7.4.14 Manual Conversion Mode
When this bit is set high the EOC bit (bit [6]) goes low, and a conversion is performed. When the conversion is
complete, the EOC bit goes high again. Subsequent conversions are performed in manual mode by reading back
the VLED monitor register, which resets the EOC bit and starts another conversion (see Figure 30).

7.5 I2C-Compatible Interface
7.5.1 START and STOP Conditions
The LM3560 is controlled via an I2C-compatible interface. START and STOP conditions classify the beginning
and end of the I2C session. A START condition is defined as SDA transitioning from HIGH-to-LOW while SCL is
HIGH. A STOP condition is defined as SDA transitioning from LOW-to-HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C master
always generates the 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. A START and a repeated START
condition are equivalent function-wise. The data on SDA must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock
signal (SCL). In other words, the state of SDA can only be changed when SCL is LOW. Figure 38 shows the
SDA and SCL signal timing for the I2C-compatible bus. See Electrical Characteristics for timing values.

7.5.2 I2C-Compatible Chip Address
The device address for the LM3560 is 1010011 (0xA7 for read and 0xA6 for write). After the START condition,
the I2C 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.

Every byte on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) transferred first. Each byte
of data must be followed by an acknowledge bit (ACK). The acknowledge related clock pulse (9th clock pulse) is
generated by the master. The master releases SDA (HIGH) during the 9th clock pulse (write mode). The LM3560
pulls down SDA during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. An acknowledge is generated after each
byte has been received.

7.6.6 GPIO Register (Address 0x20)
The GPIO register contains the control bits which change the state of the TX1/TORCH/GPIO1 pin and the
TX2/INT/GPIO2 pins to general purpose I/Os (GPIOs). Additionally, bit 6 of this register contains the interrupt
configuration bit. Table 8 describes the bit description and functionality of the GPIO register. To configure the
TX1 or TX2 pins as GPIO outputs an initial double write is required to register 0x20. For example, to configure
TX2 to output a logic high, an initial write of 0xB8 would need to occur twice, to force GPIO2 low. Subsequent
writes to GPIO2 after the initial set-up, only requires a single write. To read back the GPIO inputs, a write then a
read of register 0x20 must occur each time the data is read. For example, if GPIO2 is set up as a GPIO input
and the GPIO2 input has then changed state, first a write to 0x20 must occur, then the following read back of
register 0x20 shows the updated data. When configuring TX2 as an interrupt output, the TX2/GPIO2/INT pin
must first be configured as a GPIO output (double write). For example, to configure TX2/GPIO2/INT for INT
mode a write of 0xF8 to register 0x20 must be done twice.

7.6.7 LED Forward Voltage ADC (VLED Monitor Register, Address 0x30)
The VLED monitor register controls the internal 4 bit analog to digital converter. Bits [3:0] of this register contain
the 4-bit data of the LED voltage. This data is the digitized voltage of the highest of either VLED1 to GND or VLED2
to GND. Bit [4] is the manual mode enable which provides for a manual conversion of the ADC. In manual mode
the automatic conversion is still performed. In automatic conversion mode a conversion is performed each time a
flash pulse is initiated. Bit [5] is the ADC shutdown bit. Bit [6] signals the end of conversion. This is a read-only
bit that goes high when a conversion is complete and data is ready. A read of the VLED monitor register clears
the end-of-conversion bit (see Table 9).

7.6.10 Last Flash Register (Address 0x81)
The last flash register is a read-only register, which is loaded with the flash code corresponding to the flash level
that the LM3560 device was at if any of the following events happen:
1. Voltage at LEDI/NTC falling below VTRIP with the device in NTC mode (configuration register 1 bit [4] = 1);
2. Input voltage falling below the programmed VIN monitor threshold with device in VIN monitor mode (VIN

monitor register bit [0] = 1); or
3. Input voltage falling below the programmed VIN flash monitor threshold with the device in VIN flash monitor
mode (VIN monitor register bit [3] = 1).
The last flash register is updated at the same time that the corresponding flag bit is written to the flags register.
This results in a delay of 250 µs from when VLEDI/NTC (NTC mode) crosses VTRIP, or VIN (VIN monitor enabled)
crosses the VIN_TH. During VIN flash monitor there is a 8-µs deglitch time so the VIN flash monitor flag is written
(and the last flash register is updated) 8 µs after VIN falls below VIN_FLASH.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.1.2.1 Output Capacitor Selection
The LM3560 is designed to operate with at least a 10-µF ceramic output capacitor. When the boost converter is
running the output capacitor supplies the load current during the boost converters 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 NFET on-time
and a rise in the output voltage during the NFET off-time. Therefore chose the output capacitor 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.
For proper operation the output capacitor must be at least a 10-µF ceramic. Larger capacitors such as a 22 µF or
multiple 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 equivalent series
resistance (ESR) (ΔVESR) of the capacitor use Equation 1 and Equation 2:
For continuous conduction mode, the output voltage ripple due to the capacitor discharge is:
'VQ =
ILED x (VOUT - VIN)
fSW x VOUT x COUT
(1)
The output voltage ripple due to the output capacitors ESR is found by:
'VESR = R ESR x §
©
where
'IL =
I LED x VOUT·
VIN
¹
+ 'I L
VIN x (VOUT - VIN )
2 x f SW x L x VOUT
(2)
In ceramic capacitors the ESR is very low so a close approximation is to assume that 80% of the output voltage
ripple is due to capacitor discharge and 20% from ESR. Table 20 lists different manufacturers for various output
capacitors and their case sizes suitable for use with the LM3560.
8.2.1.2.2 Input Capacitor Selection
Choosing the correct size and type of input capacitor helps minimize the input voltage ripple caused by the
switching of the LM3560’s boost converter, and reduces noise on the boost converters input terminal that can
feed through and disrupt internal analog signals. In Figure 41 a 10-µF ceramic input capacitor works well. It is
important to place the input capacitor as close as possible to the input (IN) pins of the LM3560 device. This
reduces the series resistance and inductance that can inject noise into the device due to the input switching
currents. Table 20 lists various input capacitors that are recommended for use with the LM3560.

8.2.1.2.3 Inductor Selection
The LM3560 is designed to use a 1-µH or 2.2-µH inductor. Table 21 lists various inductors and their
manufacturers that can work well with the LM3560. 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 must be greater than the
maximum operating peak current of the LM3560. 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 LM3560 are greater than IPEAK in the following
calculation:
IPEAK =

8.2.2 NTC Thermistor Application
Programming bit [4] of Configuration register 1 with a 1 selects NTC mode and makes the LEDI/NTC pin a
comparator input for flash LED thermal sensing. Figure 42 shows the LM3560 using the NTC thermistor circuit.
The thermal sensor resistor divider is composed of R3 and R(T), where R(T) is the negative temperature
coefficient thermistor, VBIAS is the bias voltage for the resistive divider, and R3 is used to linearize the response
of the NTC around the NTC comparators trip point. CBYP is used to filter noise at the NTC input.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Recommendations
The high switching frequency and large switching currents of the LM3560 make the choice of layout important.
Use the following steps 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 LM3560) and as close as possible to the device. The input
capacitor conducts the driver currents during the low side MOSFET turnon and turnoff 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 and which can corrupt the VIN
line.
2. Place COUT on the top layer (same layer as the LM3560) and as close as possible to the OUT and GND pins.
The returns for both CIN and COUT should come together at one point, and as close as possible to the GND
pin. Connecting COUT through short wide traces reduce the series inductance on the OUT and GND pins that
can corrupt the VOUT and GND line and cause excessive noise in the device and surrounding circuitry.
3. Connect the inductor on the top layer close to the SW pin. There must 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 must 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 TX1/TORCH/GPIO1, TX2/INT/GPIO2, HWEN, LEDI/NTC (NTC
mode), 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 LM3560. If possible, route the LED returns
with a dedicated path to keep the high amplitude LED currents out of the GND plane. For flash LEDs that are
routed relatively far away from the LM3560, 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.
6. The NTC thermistor is intended to have its return path connected to the LEDs cathode. This allows the
thermistor resistive divider voltage (VNTC) to trip the comparators threshold as VNTC is falling. Additionally, the
thermistor-to-LED cathode junction should be connected as close as possible in order to reduce the thermal
impedance from the LED and the thermistor. The drawback is that the thermistor's return detects the
switching currents from the boost converter of the device. Because of this, it is necessary to have a filter
capacitor at the NTC pin which terminates close to the GND of the LM3560 (see CBYP in Figure 42).
