SC622
LED Light Management Unit
Charge Pump, 400mA Flash LED, Dual
LDOs, and SemWireTM Interface
Description
The SC622 is a high efficiency charge pump LED driver
using Semtech’s proprietary mAhXLifeTM technology.
Performance is optimized for use in single-cell Li-ion
battery applications.
The charge pump provides continuous or bursted current
to a flash LED using a dedicated flash driver current sink.
The load and supply conditions determine whether the
charge pump operates in 1x, 1.5x, or 2x mode. A flash-
timeout feature disables the flash if active for longer than
1 second. The SC622 also provides two low-dropout, low-
noise linear regulators for powering a camera module or
other peripheral circuits.
The SC622 uses the proprietary SemWireTM single wire
interface. The interface controls all functions of the device,
including flash current and two LDO voltage outputs. The
single wire implementation minimizes microcontroller
and interface pin counts. The flash/spotlight output is
triggered via either the SemWire interface or a dedicated
pin.
In sleep mode, the device reduces quiescent current to
100μA while continuing to monitor the serial interface.
The two LDOs can be enabled when the device is in sleep
mode. Total current reduces to 0.1μA in shutdown.
