FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
•
The LM3565 is a 4 MHz fixed-frequency, current
mode synchronous boost converter designed to drive
two series flash LEDs at 930 mA. A high-voltage
current source allows the LEDs to be terminated to
the GND plane eliminating the need for an additional
return trace back to the IC.

A dedicated Strobe pin provides a direct interface to
trigger the flash event, while an external Torch pin
provides an additional method for enabling the LEDs
in a constant current mode. The LM3565 can
adaptively scale the maximum flash level delivered to
the LEDs based upon the measured input voltage.
Multiple protection features are available on the
LM3565 ranging from over-voltage protection to
output short-circuit detection.
The LM3565 has four selectable inductor current
limits to help the user select an inductor that is
appropriate for the design.

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 pin.
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ = 150°C (typ.) and
disengages at TJ = 115°C (typ). Thermal shutdown is specified by design.

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 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 =
+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 (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX).
Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is taken from a thermal modeling result, performed under the conditions and guidelines set
forth in the JEDEC standard JESD51-7. The test board is a 4-layer FR-4 board measuring 102 mm x 76 mm x 1.6 mm with a 2x1 array
of thermal vias. The ground plane on the board is 50 mm x 50 mm. Thickness of copper layers are 36 µm/18 µm/18 µm/3 µm (1.5 oz/1
oz/1 oz/1.5 oz). Ambient temperature in simulation is 22°C, still air. Power dissipation is 1.2W.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Circuit Description
Overview
The LM3565 is a high-power white LED flash driver capable of delivering up to 930 mA of LED current into two
series LEDs. The device incorporates a 4 MHz constant frequency, synchronous, current mode PWM boost
converter, and a single high-side current source to regulate the LED current over the 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage
range.
Circuit Components
Synchronous Boost Converter
The LM3565 operates in boost mode in LED Flash or Assist operation. In LED boost mode, the PWM converter
switches and maintains at least 300 mV across the current source. This minimum headroom voltage ensures that
the current sink remains in regulation.
High-Side Current Source
The High-Side current source of the LM3565 is capable of driving two LEDs in series. The flash current range is
480 mA to 930 mA in 30 mA steps with a default current equal to 750 mA.
Additionally, the high-side current source is capable of supporting two Assist/Torch current levels (continuous
current) equal to 60 mA (default) or 90 mA.
A/D Converter
An internal 8-bit ADC can be utilized to measure the input voltage and the LED voltage during a flash or assist
event. If the ADC input voltage measurement bit is set to a '1' (IV bit in register 0x09), the digitized value of the
LM3565's input voltage can be read back from the Input Voltage ADC Register (0x0A). The input voltage is
sampled before the start of the flash or assist event if the FON bit in register 0x09 is set to a '0' and 2ms after the
LED current ramp up is completed if it is set to a '1'. The LED voltage can be read back from the LED Voltage
ADC Register (0x0B) if the ADC LED voltage measurement bit is set to a '1' (LV bit in register 0x09). The LED
voltage is sampled 2ms after the LED current is ramped up.
ENABLE Pin
The ENABLE pin on the LM3565 places the part into Shutdown Mode (low) or Standby Mode (high). In
Shutdown Mode, most of the control functionality is disabled. In shutdown, it is possible to enable the part
through the use of the Torch pin. In standby, the LM3565 can be controlled via the I2C-compatible interface or
the Torch and Strobe pins if the part has been configured to do so. The ENABLE pin must be held low before
power is applied to the LM3565.
SDA and SCL Pins
The SDA and SCL pins are the I2C-compatible control interface inputs for the LM3565. SDA is the interface data
input and SCL is the interface clock input.
STROBE Pin
The Strobe pin of the LM3565 provides an external method for initiating a flash or assist event. In most cases,
the Strobe pin is connected to an imaging module so that the image capture and flash event are synchronized.
The Strobe pin is only functional when the LM3565's Output Enable (OEN in 0x07) and Strobe Signal Mode
(SEN in 0x06) bits are set ('1'). The Strobe pin can be configured to be an edge-sensitive or level-sensitive input
by setting the Strobe Signal Usage bit (SSU in 0x06. '1' = Level, '0' = Edge). In edge-sensitive mode, a rising
edge transition ('0' to '1') will start the flash event and the internal flash timer will terminate the event. In levelsensitive mode, a rising edge transition ('0' to '1') will start the flash event and a falling edge transition ('1' to '0')
or the internal flash timer, which ever occurs first, will terminate the event.
Additionally, the Strobe pin can be used to pulse-width modulate (PWM) the diode current during a flash or assist
event. In flash mode, by setting the PWM bit in the Strobe signaling register (PWM in register 0x06) to a '1', and
toggling the Strobe pin high and low, the diode current will transition between the target flash current and a
reduced current value selected in register 0x06 (SPL3-SPL0). When the Strobe pin is high ('1'), the flash current
is equal to the target LED current. When the Strobe pin is low ('0'), the flash current is equal to the target LED
current minus the reduction current value, or 60 mA, whichever is higher. The diode current is ramped up and
down during the transitions between the full current state and the reduced current state.

In assist mode, by setting the PWM bit in the Strobe signaling register (PWM in register 0x06) to a '1', and
toggling the Strobe pin high and low, the diode current will transition between the target assist current and 10
mA. When the Strobe pin is high ('1'), the assist current is equal to the target LED current. When the Strobe pin
is low ('0'), the assist current is equal to 10 mA. The diode current is always ramped up to 90 mA, then reduced
to 60 mA if the assist target current is set to 60 mA. The transition between the full-assist current and the 10 mA
current level is done in one step.
TORCH Pin
The Torch pin of the LM3565, depending on the state and configuration, allows the user to enable Torch/Assist
Mode without having to write the command through the I2C bus. In standby mode, the external torch mode bit
(ETEN bit in register 0x03) must be set to a '1' to allow an external torch (default value = '1'). The torch mode
current is equal to the Assist mode current level stored in register 0x02 (AS0 bit, default value = '0' or 60 mA). In
shutdown mode, driving the Torch pin high will enable the LM3565 and drive the flash LEDs at 60 mA.
TX-MASK Pin
The TX-Mask pin provides the RF PA a direct method to reduce the flash current by a predetermined value
stored in the TX-Mask register (0x03), to prevent a battery over-current fault. When the TX-Mask pin is set low,
the normal target current is realized. When the TX-Mask pin is set high, the flash current is reduced. The flash
current is not ramped during the transition from full-scale to the reduced level; the flash current is ramped when
transitioning back to the full-scale value from the reduced value. As in the Fflash PWM Mode, the lowest flash
current is set to 60 mA.
Fault Protections
The LM3565 has numerous internal fault protection mechanisms to help prevent damage to the LM3565 as well
as the system in the event of a fault. Most fault conditions will cause the LM3565 to enter Shutdown Mode and
will report a fault to the fault register (0x08) or (0x09). The faults that can be detected are as follows:
• Over-Voltage Protection (VOUT)
• Short-Circuit Protection (VOUT and VLED)
• Over-Temperature Protection
• Flash Time-Out
• TX-Mask Event
• Under-Voltage Lock-Out
• Input Low Voltage Detect
• Inductor Current Limit (not reported)
• Output Capacitor Open Protection

I2C-Compatible Interface
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 48. Data Validity Diagram
A pull-up resistor between VIO and SDA must be greater than [ (VIO-VOL) / 3mA] to meet the VOL requirement
on SDA. Using a larger pullup 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-compatible 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-compatible master always
generates START and STOP conditions. The I2C-compatible bus is considered to be busy after a START
condition and free after a STOP condition. During data transmission, the I2C-compatible 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.
SDA
SCL
S
P
START condition
STOP condition
Figure 49. 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 LM3565 pulls
down the SDA line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. The LM3565 generates an
acknowledge after each byte has been received.
After the START condition, the I2C-compatible 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 LM3565 address is 30h. 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.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Torch or Assist (Continuous Current) Operation
There are two different continuous current modes on the LM3565: Torch and Assist.
Torch Mode is enabled through the use of the dedicated Torch pin. The Torch pin functionality can be enabled
and disabled by setting the value of the ETEN bit in the TX-Control Register (Address 0x03). ETEN = '1' allows
an external Torch while ETEN = '0' does not.
The primary method to enable Assist Mode is by setting the Output Mode bits (OM1 and OM0) to '10' and setting
the Output Enable bit (OEN) to a '1' in the Control Register (0x07). Assist Mode will remain active in I2Ccompatible Mode until the OEM bit is set to '0'.
The secondary Assist Mode enabling method involves using the Strobe pin. By setting the SEN bit in the Stobe
Signaling Register (Address 0x06) to a '1', then setting the Output Mode bits (OM1 and OM0) to '10' and setting
the Output Enable bit (OEN) to a '1' in the Control Register (0x07), the LM3565 will be configured to enable
Assist Mode upon the Strobe pin transitioning state from low to high. In this configuration, Assist Mode will
remain active until the OEN bit is set to '0'. Transitioning the Strobe pin from high to low does not automatically
clear the OEN. In Assist Mode, the Strobe Signal Usage bit (SSU in Strobe Signaling Register 0x06) is ignored,
and the Strobe pin is always set to be edge sensitive.
The LM3565 can drive two LEDs at continuous current levels of 60 mA or 90 mA. The current is set in the
Current Set Register utilizing the AS0 bit (Address 0x02, AS0). Writing a '0' (default) sets the assist current to 60
mA while writing a '1' sets the assist current to 90 mA.
In Torch or Assist Mode, the LED current is ramped up to 90 mA in 30 mA steps at 20 µs intervals, then reduced
to 60 mA if the assist target current is set to 60 mA. The assist current is terminated in one step.
Flash (Pulsed Current) Operation
A flash event using the LM3565 can be initiated though the I2C-compatible control interface, and through the use
of the Strobe pin.
When using the I2C-compatible Control Mode, a flash event is initiated when the Output Mode bits (OM1 and
OM0) are set to '11' and the Output Enable bit (OEN) is set to a '1' in the Control Register (0x07). In I2Ccompatible Mode, the flash event will remain active as long as the OEN bit is set to a '1' and will terminate upon
a time-out event. The safety timer duration can be set in 2 ms intervals ranging from 2 ms to 512 ms by writing
the desired value to the FT7-FT0 bits in the Timer Register (Address 0x05, with the default timer set to 72
msec.).
The Strobe pin provides added system flexibility in that it allows an additional external device (Camera Module,
GPU etc.) to trigger a flash event. To initiate a Strobe event in I2C-compatible Control Mode, the Strobe Enable
(SEN) bit in the Strobe Signaling Register (0x06) must first be set to a '1', and the Output Enable (OEN) bits and
Output Mode bits (OM1 and OM0) in the Control Register (Address 0x07) must be set to '1's.
Following the setting of the SEN and OEN bits, the user must choose to have an edge-sensitive or level-sensitive
strobe event. Writing a '1' to the Strobe Signal Usage (SSU) bit in the Control Register (Address 0x06), the
LM3565 will be configured to be level sensitive, while writing a '0' configures the part to be edge-sensitive. In
both cases, the strobe flash event is started upon the Strobe pin being driven high.
In an edge-sensitive event, the flash duration will stay active until the flash duration timer lapses regardless of
the state of the Strobe pin. If a level-sensitive strobe is used, the flash event will remain active as long as the
Strobe pin is held high and as long as the flash duration time has not lapsed.
In Flash Mode, the LED current is ramped up and down in 30 mA steps at 20 µs intervals.
At the end of a flash event, whether initiated through the Control Register or Strobe pin, the LM3565 will force
the OEN bit to a '0' and will place the LM3565 back into the Standby state.

Fault Protections
The LM3565 has a number of fault protection mechanisms designed to not only protect the LM3565 itself, but
also to reset the system. Active fault protections include:
• Over-Voltage Protection (VOUT)
• Short-Circuit Protection (VOUT and VLED)
• Over-Temperature Protection
• Flash Time-Out
• Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO)
• Output Capacitor Open Protection
In the event that any of these faults occur, the LM3565 will set a flag in the appropriate Fault Register (Address
0x08 or 0x09) and place the part into standby. Normal operation cannot resume until the fault has been fixed and
an I2C read of the fault register (0x08 and/or 0x09) has been completed. All faults are cleared upon reading the
Fault Registers (0x08 and 0x09).
Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
An OVP fault is triggered when the output voltage of the LM3565 reaches a value greater than 9.5V (typ). The
OVP condition is cleared when the output voltage (VOUT) is able to operate below 9.5V. An output capacitor or an
LED that have become an open circuit can cause an OVP event to occur. This fault is reported to the OVP fault
bit in the Fault Register (bit7 in address 0x05).
Output and LED Short Circuit Protection (SC)
An SC fault is triggered when the output voltage (VOUT) and/or the LED voltage (VLED) does not reach 0.8V in
0.5 ms. The short circuit condition is cleared when the output (VOUT) is allowed to reach its steady state target
and when the LED voltage rises above 0.8V. A shorted output capacitor or a shorted LED could cause this fault
to occur. This fault is reported to the SC fault bit in the Fault Register (bit6 in address 0x08).
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
An OTP fault is triggered when the diode junction temperature of the LM3565 reaches an internal temperature of
around 150°C. The OTP condition is cleared when the junction temperature falls below 115°C and the fault
register is read. A printed circuit board (PCB) with poor thermal dissipation properties and very high ambient
temperatures (greater that 85°C) could cause this fault to occur. Refer to Texas Instruments Application Note:
AN-1112: DSBGA Wafer Level Chip Scale Package for more information regarding proper PCB layout. This fault
is reported to the OTP fault bit in the Fault Register (bit5 in address 0x08).
Flash Time-Out (TO)
The TO fault will be triggered whenever a flash is initiated with a level-sensitive Strobe event controlled by a
camera module and the Strobe pulse duration exceeds the selected Flash Time-out duration. This fault is
reported to the TO fault bit in the Fault Register (bit4 in address 0x08). This bit only gets set when PWM Mode is
disabled.
Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO)
An Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO) fault occurs when the input voltage at the LM3565 drops below 2.4V (typ).
When this fault occurs, the LM3565 will be forced into Standby Mode and the UVLO bit will be set to a '1'. To exit
a UVLO state, the input voltage to the LM3565 must increase by 100 mV (typ.) and the UVLO Fault bit must be
cleared. This fault is reported to the UVLO fault bit in the Fault Register (bit0 in address 0x08).
Output Capacitor Open Protection (CO)
An Output Capacitor Open fault is triggered when the LM3565 detects that the capacitance at the VOUT pin has
dropped below the acceptable value (typically 0.1 µF). This fault indicates that the output capacitors are either
disconnected or damaged and is reported to the Output Capacitor fault bit in the ADC Control Register (bit4 in
address 0x09). Once an Output Capacitor Open fault is detected, the State Machine Reset bit (LVRS) in the Low
Voltage Control register (0x04) has to bo toggled between a '1' and a '0' in order for normal operation to resume.

Input Low Voltage Flag (ILV)
The LM3565 has an Input Low Voltage (ILV) detection mechanism that sets the ILV flag (bit1 in address 0x08)
when this feature is enabled (LVEN = 1, bit6 in address 0x04) and the input voltage is below the threshold set in
the Low Voltage Control Register (LVL2-LVL0 in address 0x04). The input voltage is only monitored before the
start of a flash event. This is a reporting flag bit and not a fault bit. The ILV flag bit does not halt or reset the
LM3565.
TX-Mask Flag (TXM)
The LM3565 has a Transmit Interrupt flag bit (TXM, bit 3 in address 0x08) that gets set if the TX-Mask feature is
enabled (TXEN = 1, bit7 in address 0x03) and if the TX-Mask pin is high, indicating a TX-Mask event. This is a
reporting flag bit and not a fault bit. The TXM flag bit does not halt or reset the LM3565.

Inductor Current Limit
To prevent damage to the LM3565's inductor and to limit the power drawn by the LM3565 during a flash event,
an Inductor Current Limit circuit is present. The LM3565 monitors the current through the inductor during the
charge phase of the boost cycle. In the event that the inductor current reaches the current limit, the NFET of the
converter will terminate the charge phase for that cycle. The process will repeat itself until the flash event has
ended or until the input voltage increases to the point where the peak current is no longer reached. Hitting the
peak inductor current limit will not disable the part. It will however limit the output power delivery to the LEDs.
The inductor current limit can be set to 2.3A, 2.6A (default), 2.9A or 3.3A depending on the values of the ICL1
and ICL0 bits in the TX-Masking Register (Address 0x03). The peak inductor current limit value can be used to
help size the inductor to the appropriate saturation current level. For more information on inductor sizing, refer to
the INDUCTOR SELECTION section of this datasheet.
Inductor Selection
The LM3565 is designed to use a 1µH 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 LM3565. 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 LM3565 (2.3A, 2.6A (default), 2.9A or 3.3A) is greater than IPEAK. IPEAK can be calculated by:

Capacitor Selection
The LM3565 requires 3 external capacitors for proper operation (CIN = 10 µF recommended (4.7 µF min) and 2 ×
COUT = 10 µF ). An additional 0.1 µF input capacitor placed right next to the VIN pin is recommended. Surfacemount multi-layer ceramic capacitors are recommended. These capacitors are small, inexpensive, and have very
low equivalent series resistance (ESR
