and I2C Interface
Description
The SC624A 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 backlight current in
conjunction with four matched current sinks. The load
and supply conditions determine whether the charge
pump operates in 1x, 1.5x, or 2x mode. An optional fading
feature that gradually adjusts the backlight current is
provided to simplify control software. The SC624A also
provides two low-dropout, low-noise linear regulators for
powering a camera module or other peripheral circuits.
The SC624A uses an I2C compatible serial interface. The
interface controls all functions of the device, including
backlight current and two LDO voltage outputs.
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.
