LM3553 1.2A Dual Flash LED Driver System with I2C Compatible Interface
General Description
The LM3553 is a fixed frequency, current mode step-up 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. One or more high current flash LEDs can be driven in series either in a high power Flash mode or a lower power Torch mode controlled by either an internal register or the FEN pin. Additionally a low current (20mA) indicator mode and a fixed output voltage mode are also available. The LM3553 has 128 current levels and 16 flash safety timer durations that are user adjustable via an I2C compatible interface. Internal soft-start eliminates large inrush currents at start-up. Over-voltage protection circuitry and 1.2MHz switching frequency allow for the use of small, low-cost output capacitors with lower voltage ratings. 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 National's 3mm by 3mm LLP12 package.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics tables. Note 2: All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin. Note 3: Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ=140ºC (typ.) and disengages at TJ=120ºC (typ.). Note 4: For detailed soldering specifications and information, please refer to National Semiconductor Application Note: AN-1187 for Recommended Soldering Profiles. Note 5: The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. (MIL-STD-883 3015.7) Note 6: 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). Note 7: 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 (nonI2C) 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.
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.

Connection Diagram Typical System Configuration
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.

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.
20171412
FIGURE 2. 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.

FIGURE 1. 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.

I2C COMPATIBLE CHIP ADDRESS The chip address for LM3553 is 1010011, or 53hex.
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. M/F Pin Control Register

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.

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.

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:
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 multilayer ceramic capacitors are recommended. These capacitors are small, inexpensive and have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR
