FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LM3646 is a 4 MHz fixed-frequency, Current  
Mode synchronous boost converter. The device is  
designed to operate as a dual 1.5A constant current  
driver for high current LEDs. The high-side current  
sources allow for grounded cathode LED operation  
providing Flash current up to 1.5A total. An adaptive  
headroom regulation scheme ensures the LED  
currents remain in regulation and maximizes  
efficiency.

The LM3646 is controlled via an I²C-compatible  
interface. The main features of the LM3646 include: a  
hardware flash enable (STROBE) input for direct  
triggering of the Flash pulse, a hardware Torch  
enable (TORCH) for Movie Mode or Flashlight  
functions, a TX input which forces the flash pulse into

allowing  
for  
synchronization to RF power amplifier events or other  
high-current conditions, an integrated comparator  
designed to monitor an NTC thermistor and provide  
an interrupt to the LED current, and a programmable  
input voltage monitor which monitors the battery  
voltage and can reduce the flash current during low  
battery conditions. A hardware enable (ENABLE)  
input provides a hardware shutdown during system  
software failures.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with  
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.  
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more  
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

See Note  
(1) 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.  
(2) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.  
(3) Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ = +135°C (typ.).  
Thermal shutdown is verified by design.

(1) 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.  
(2) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.  
(3) 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).

SNVS962 DECEMBER 2013  
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
The LM3646 is a high-power white LED flash driver capable of delivering up to 1.5A (total LED current) into two  
parallel LEDs. The device incorporates a 4 MHz constant frequency, synchronous Current-Mode PWM boost  
converter, and two high-side current sources to regulate the LED current over the 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage  
range.  
The LM3646 PWM converter switches and maintains at least VHR across the current sources (LED1 and LED2).  
This minimum headroom voltage ensures that the current source remains in regulation. If the input voltage is  
above the LED voltage + current source headroom voltage, the device does not switch and turns the PFET on  
continuously (Pass Mode). In Pass Mode the difference between (VIN - ILED x RPMOS) and the voltage across the  
LED is dropped across the current sources.  
The LM3646 has three logic inputs including a hardware Flash Enable (STROBE), a hardware Torch Enable  
(TORCH) used for external Torch Mode control, and a Flash Interrupt input (TX) designed to interrupt the flash  
pulse during high battery current conditions. All three logic inputs have internal 200 k(typ.) pull-down resistors  
to GND.  
Additional features of the LM3646 include an internal comparator for LED thermal sensing via an external NTC  
thermistor and an input voltage monitor that can reduce the Flash current (during low VIN conditions).  
Control of the LM3646 is done via an I2C-compatible interface. This includes adjustment of the Flash and Torch  
current levels, current source selection, changing the Flash Timeout Duration, changing the switch current limit,  
and enabling the NTC block. Additionally, there are flag and status bits that indicate flash current time-out, LED  
over-temperature condition, LED failure (open/short), device thermal shutdown, TX interrupt, and VIN under-  
voltage conditions.  
Startup (Enabling the Device)  
Turn on of the LM3646 Torch and Flash Modes can be done through the Enable Register (0x01). On startup,  
when VOUT is less than VIN, the internal synchronous PFET turns on as a current source and delivers 200 mA  
(typ.) to the output capacitor. During this time the current source (LED) is off. When the voltage across the output  
capacitor reaches 2.2V (typ.) the current source will turn on. At turn-on the current source will step through each  
FLASH or TORCH level until the target LED current is reached. This gives the device a controlled turn-on and  
limits inrush current from the VIN supply.  
Pass Mode  
The LM3646 starts up in Pass Mode and stays there until Boost Mode is needed to maintain regulation. In Pass  
Mode the boost converter does not switch and the synchronous PFET turns fully on bringing VOUT up to VIN  
-
(ILED x RPMOS). In Pass Mode the inductor current is not limited by the peak current limit. In this situation the  
output current must be limited to 2A. If the voltage difference between VOUT and VLED falls below VHR, the device  
switches to Boost Mode.  
Flash Mode  
In Flash Mode, the LED current sources (LED1/2) provide 128 target current levels from 0 mA to 1500 mA. The  
Flash currents are adjusted via bits[3:0] of the Max LED Current Control Register (0x05) and bits[6:0] of the  
LED1 Flash Current Control Register (0x06). Flash Mode is activated by the Enable Register (0x01), or by pulling  
the STROBE pin HIGH. Once the Flash sequence is activated the current source (LED) will ramp up to the  
programmed Flash current by stepping through all current steps until the programmed current is reached.  
While both LED1 and LED2 are capable of delivering 1.5A to the LED, the sum total of the LED current will not  
exceed the value stored in the Max LED Current Control Register. LED1 will receive the current value stored in  
the LED1 Flash Current Control Register, and LED2 will receive the difference of the value stored in the MAX  
LED Current Control Register and LED1 Flash Current Control Register.  
If LED1 and LED2 Active:  
LED1 = LED1 Flash Current Control Value  
LED2 = MAX Flash Current Control Value - LED1 Flash Current Control Value  
If MAX Flash Current Control Value < LED1 Flash Current Control Value  
LED1 = MAX Flash Current Control Value  
LED2 = Off

www.ti.com  
If the LED1 Current Control Value is set to a level that is higher than the MAX Flash LED Current Control Value,  
LED1 will receive the MAX Flash LED Current Control value, and LED2 will be disabled.  
When the part is enabled in Flash Mode through the Enable Register or the STROBE pin, all mode bits in the  
Enable Register are cleared after a flash time-out event.  
Torch Mode  
In Torch Mode, the LED current sources (LED1/2) provide 128 target current levels from 0 mA to 187.5 mA. The  
Torch currents are adjusted via bits[6:4] of the Max LED Current Control Register (0x05) and bits[6:0] of the  
LED1 Torch Current Control Register (0x07). Torch Mode is activated by the Enable Register (0x01), or by  
pulling the TORCH pin HIGH. Once the TORCH sequence is activated the current source (LED) will ramp up to  
the programmed Torch current by stepping through all current steps until the programmed current is reached.  
LED1 will receive the current value stored in the LED1 Torch Current Control Register, and LED2 will receive the  
difference of the value stored in the MAX LED Current Control Register and LED1 Torch Current Control  
Register.  
If LED1 and LED2 Active:  
LED1 = LED1 Torch Current Control Value  
LED2 = MAX Torch Current Control Value - LED1 Torch Current Control Value  
If MAX Torch Current Control Value < LED1 Torch Current Control Value  
LED1 = MAX Torch Current Control Value  
LED2 = Off  
If the LED1 Torch Current Control Value is set to a level that is higher than the MAX Torch LED Current Control  
Value, LED1 will receive the MAX Torch LED Current Control value, and LED2 will be disabled. Torch Mode is  
not affected by Flash Timeout.  
Power Amplifier Synchronization (TX)  
The TX pin is a Power Amplifier Synchronization input. This is designed to reduce the flash LED current and thus  
limit the battery current during high battery current conditions such as PA transmit events. When the LM3646 is  
engaged in a Flash event and the TX pin is pulled high, the LED current is forced into Torch Mode at the  
programmed Torch current setting. If the TX pin is then pulled low before the Flash pulse terminates, the LED  
current will return to the previous Flash current level. At the end of the Flash time-out, whether the TX pin is high  
or low, the LED current will turn off. The TX input can be disabled by setting bit[3] (TX Enable) to a ‘0’ in the Max  
LED Current Control Register (0x05).  
Input Voltage Flash Monitor (IVFM)  
The LM3646 has the ability to adjust the flash current based upon the voltage level present at the IN pin utilizing  
an Input Voltage Flash Monitor. The IVFM block has an adjustable threshold (IVM-D) ranging from 2.9V to 3.2V  
in 100 mV steps as well as adjustable hysteresis. The IVFM threshold and hysteresis are controlled by bits[4:3]  
and bits[2:1] respectively, in the IVFM Mode Register (0x02). Flags Register1 (0x08) has the IVFM flag (bit[3])  
set when the input voltage crosses the IVFM value. The IVFM threshold sets the input voltage boundary that  
forces the LM3646 to stop ramping the flash current during startup in Stop and Hold Mode, or to actively adjust  
the LED current lower in Down Adjust Mode, or to continuously adjust the LED current up and down in Up &  
Down mode.  
Stop and Hold Mode (Figure 54): Stops Current Ramp and Holds the level for the remaining flash if VIN crosses  
IVM-D Line. Sets IVFM Flag (bit[3] in Flags Register1) upon crossing IVM-D Line.  
Down Mode (Figure 55): Adjusts current down if VIN crosses IVM-D Line and stops decreasing once VIN rises  
above the IVM-D line + the IVFM hysteresis setting. The LM3646 will decrease the current throughout the flash  
pulse anytime the input voltage falls below the IVM-D line, not just once. The flash current will not increase again

Fault/Protections  
Fault Operation  
www.ti.com  
Upon entering a fault condition, the LM3646 will set the appropriate flag in the Flags Register1 (0x08) or Flags  
Register2 (0x09), and place the part into standby by clearing and locking the Torch Enable bit (bit[7] in LED1  
Torch Current Control Register (0x07)) and Mode Bits (M1, M0) in the Enable Register (0x01), until the Flags  
Register1 or Flags Register2 is read back via I2C.  
Flash Time-Out  
The Flash Time-Out period sets the amount of time that the Flash Current is being sourced from the current  
source (LED). The LM3646 has 8 timeout levels ranging 50 ms to 400 ms in 50 ms steps. The Flash Time-Out  
period is controlled by bits[2:0] in the Flash Timing Register (0x04). Flash Time-Out only applies to the Flash  
Mode operation. The mode bits are cleared and bit[0] is set in the Flags Register1 (0x08) upon a Flash Timeout.  
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)  
The output voltage is limited to typically 5.0V (see VOVP Spec). In situations such as an open LED, the LM3646  
will raise the output voltage in order to try to keep the LED current at its target value. When VOUT reaches 5.0V  
(typ.) the over-voltage comparator will trip and turn off the internal NFET. When VOUT falls below the “VOVP Off  
Threshold”, the LM3646 will begin switching again. The mode bits are cleared, and the OVP flag will be set  
(bit[7] in Flags Register1 (0x08)) when an OVP condition is present for 512 microseconds, preventing momentary  
OVP events from forcing the part to shut down.  
Current Limit  
The LM3646 features 8 selectable inductor current limits ranging from 1.0A to 3.1A in 300 mA steps. The current  
limit is programmable through bits[7:5] of the Enable Register (0x01) of the I2C-compatible interface. When the  
inductor current limit is reached, the LM3646 terminates the charging phase of the switching cycle.  
Since 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 Boost Mode or Pass Mode if VOUT falls below 2.3V, the part stops switching, and the  
PFET operates as a current source limiting the current to 200 mA. This prevents damage to the LM3646 and  
excessive current draw from the battery during output short-circuit conditions. The mode bits are not cleared  
upon a Current Limit event, but the OCP flag (bit[4]) in Flags Register1 (0x08) is set.  
NTC Thermistor Input (TEMP)  
The TEMP pin serves as a threshold detector for negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors. It interrupts  
the LED current and sets the NTC TRIP flag bit[6] in Flags Register1 (0x08) when the voltage at TEMP goes  
below the programmed threshold. The NTC threshold voltage is adjustable from 200 mV to 900 mV in 100 mV  
steps via the NTC and Torch Ramp Register (0x03). The NTC current is set to 50 µA. When an over-temperature  
event is detected, the LM3646 will be forced into shutdown. The NTC detection circuitry can be enabled or  
disabled via bit[4] of the Enable Register (0x01). If Enabled, the NTC block will turn on and off during the start  
and stop of a Flash/Torch event. The mode bits are cleared upon an NTC event.  
Additionally, the NTC input will look for an open NTC connection and a short NTC connection. If the NTC input  
falls below 100 mV, the NTC short flag will be set (bit[1] in Flags Register2 (0x09)), and the part will be disabled.  
If the NTC input rises above 2.3V, the NTC Open flag will be set (bit[0] in Flags Register2), and the part will be  
disabled. These fault detections can be individually disabled/enabled via the NTC Open Detect Enable bit[0] in  
IVFM Mode Register (0x02) and the NTC Short Fault Enable bit[4] in Flags Register2.  
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)  
The LM3646 has an internal comparator that monitors the voltage at IN and will force the LM3646 into shutdown  
if the input voltage drops to 2.8V. If the UVLO monitor threshold is tripped, the UVLO flag bit[2] will be set in  
Flags Register1 (0x08). If the input voltage rises above 2.8V, the LM3646 will not be available for operation until  
there is an I2C read command initiated for the Flags Register1. Upon a read, Flags Register1 will be cleared, and  
normal operation can resume. This feature can be disabled by writing a ‘0’ to the UVLO Enable bit[7] in the IVFM  
Mode Register (0x02). The mode bits are cleared upon a UVLO event.

Thermal Shutdown (TSD)  
When the LM3646’s die temperature reaches +135°C the boost converter shuts down, and the NFET and PFET  
turn off, as does the current source (LED). When the thermal shutdown threshold is tripped, a '1' gets written to  
bit[5] of Flags Register1 (0x08) (Thermal Shutdown bit), and the LM3646 will go into standby. The LM3646 will  
only be allowed to restart after Flags Register1 is read, clearing the fault flag. Upon restart, if the die temperature  
is still above +135°C, the LM3646 will reset the Fault flag and re-enter standby. The mode bits are cleared upon  
a TSD.  
LED and/or VOUT Short Fault  
The LED Fault flag (bit[2] or bit[3]) in Flags Register2 (0x09) read back a '1' if the part is active in Flash or Torch  
Mode and either LED output experiences a short condition. The Output Short Fault flag (bit[1] in Flags Register1  
(0x08)) reads back a '1' if the part is active in Flash or Torch Mode and the boost output experiences a short  
condition. An LED short condition is determined if the voltage at LED goes below 500 mV (typ.); VOUT short  
condition occurs if the voltage at OUT goes below 2.1V (typ.) while the device is in Torch or Flash Mode. There  
is a delay of 256 μs deglitch time before the LED flag is valid and 2.048 ms before the VOUT flag is valid. This  
delay is the time between when the Flash or Torch current is triggered, and when the LED voltage and the output  
voltage are sampled. The LED and VOUT short flags can only be reset to '0' by removing power to the LM3646,  
or by reading back the Flags Register1 or Flags Register2. The mode bits are cleared upon an LED and/or  
VOUT short fault.  
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, state of  
the data line can only be changed when SCL is LOW.

Figure 57. Data Validity Diagram  
A pull-up resistor between the controller's VIO line 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 pullup 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 session. A START condition is  
defined as the 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.

Transferring Data  
Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) 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 LM3646 pulls down  
the SDA line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. The LM3646 generates an acknowledge  
after each byte is received. There is no acknowledge created after data is read from the LM3646.  
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 LM3646 7-bit address is 0x67 (Figure 59). 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.

I2C-Compatible Chip Address  
The device address for the LM3646 is 1100111 (67). After the START condition, the I2C-compatible 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  
will be written. The third byte contains the data for the selected register.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
Output Capacitor Selection  
The LM3646 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 converter's 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 on-time and a  
rise in the output voltage during the off-time. The output capacitor is therefore chosen 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  
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 capacitor's ESR (ΔVESR), use  
the following equations:  
For continuous conduction mode, the output voltage ripple due to the capacitor discharge is:  
(

ILED x VOUT - V  
IN  
'VQ =  
fSW x VOUT x COUT

(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 3 lists different manufacturers for various output  
capacitors and their case sizes suitable for use with the LM3646.  
Input Capacitor Selection  
Choosing the correct size and type of input capacitor helps minimize the voltage ripple caused by the switching  
of the LM3646’s boost converter, and reduces noise on the boost converter's input terminal that can feed through  
and disrupt internal analog signals. In the Typical Application Circuit a 10 µF ceramic input capacitor works well.  
It is important to place the input capacitor as close as possible to the LM3646’s input (IN) terminal. This reduces  
the series resistance and inductance that can inject noise into the device due to the input switching currents.  
Table 3 lists various input capacitors that are recommended for use with the LM3646.

Inductor Selection  
The LM3646 is designed to use a 1 µH or 2.2 µH inductor. Table 4 lists various inductors and their  
manufacturers that can work well with the LM3646. When the device is boosting (VOUT > VIN) the inductor will  
typically be 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 should be greater than  
the maximum operating peak current of the LM3646. This prevents excess efficiency loss that can occur with  
inductors that operate in saturation and prevents over-heating of the inductor and further efficiency loss. For  
proper inductor operation and circuit performance ensure that the inductor saturation and the peak current limit  
setting of the LM3646 is greater than IPEAK in the following calculation:

NTC Thermistor Selection  
The TEMP pin is a comparator input for flash LED thermal sensing. NTC Mode is intended to monitor an external  
thermistor which monitors LED temperature and prevents LED overheating. An internal comparator checks the  
voltage on the TEMP pin against the trip point programmed in the NTC and Torch Ramp Register (0x03). The  
thermistor is driven by an internally regulated current source, and the voltage on the TEMP pin is related to the  
source current and the NTC resistance. NTC thermistors have a temperature to resistance relationship of:

Layout Recommendations  
The high switching frequency and large switching currents of the LM3646 make the choice of layout important.  
The following steps should be used 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 LM3646) and as close to the device as possible. The input  
capacitor conducts the driver currents during the low-side MOSFET turn-on and turn-off and can see current  
spikes over 1A in amplitude. Connecting the input capacitor through short, wide traces to both the IN and  
GND terminals will reduce 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 LM3646) and as close as possible to the OUT and GND  
terminals. The returns for both CIN and COUT should come together at one point, as close to the GND pin as  
possible. Connecting COUT through short, wide traces will reduce the series inductance on the OUT and GND  
terminals that can corrupt the OUT and GND lines and cause excessive noise in the device and surrounding  
circuitry.  
3. Connect the inductor on the top layer close to the SW pin. There should 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 should be small 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 to avoid any capacitively coupled voltages from SW onto any  
high impedance logic lines such as TORCH, STROBE, ENABLE, TEMP, TX, 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 LM3646. 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 LM3646, a good approach is to sandwich the forward and return  
current paths over the top of each other on two layers. This will help in reducing the inductance of the LED  
current paths.
