AS3630

AS3630 8A Supercap Flash Driver General Description Figure AS3630 – 1: Key Benefits and Features The AS3630 is an inductive high efficient 4MHz dual DCDC step up converter with several sources. It supports the charging of a Supercap, its voltage balancing and a highly efficient DCDC step up from the Supercap to the LED and from VIN to the LED to power the flash LED with up to 8A. The AS3630 supports the pre-charging of the Supercap (to VIN) to reduce the startup time for the flash without reducing the lifetime of the Supercap. The system concept supports an immediate torch function without first charging the Supercap. The AS3630 includes flash timeout, over- undervoltage, overtemperature and LED short circuit protection. The AS3630 is controlled by an I²C interface for adjustment of the currents and timings, set the end of charge voltage and measure the Supercap and LED parameters through the internal ADC. A dedicated TXMASK/TORCH input can be used for a torch button -or- reducing the battery current if a RF PA is operated at the same time (TX Masking). A hardware enable pin -ON can be used as a reset input. The AS3630 is available in a space-saving WL-CSP 5x5 balls package measuring only 2.5x2.5x0.6mm and operates over the -30ºC to +85ºC temperature range.
