SP7686/SP7686A
Constant Current Flash Driver in DFN 2mm x 3mm
January 2010
Rev. 2.1.0
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SP7686/SP7686A are current regulated
charge pumps ideal for powering high power,
high brightness LEDs for camera FLASH
applications of up to 500mA.
The charge pump automatically switches
between step-up and step-down modes
ensuring that the LED current does not depend
on the forward voltage. A low current sense
reference voltage (60mV to 360mV) allows the
use of small 0603 current sensing resistors.
The SP7686 has a DAC programmable
feedback reference voltage allowing the user
to precisely set FLASH and TORCH output
current levels, while the fixed version
SP7686A has set levels of FLASH and TORCH
reference voltage.
Both parts have over-
voltage, over-current, over-temperature and
FLASH time-out protection features.
The SP7686 and SP7686A are offered in a
RoHS compliant “green”/halogen free space
saving 8-pin 2x3mm DFN package.

Description
Power supply input. Place a 10μF decoupling capacitor next to this pin.
Connect an external 0.22μF flying capacitor between these pins
This pin is used to control LED current. Once enabled the adjustable driver counts
positive going edges at this pin and sequentially increases FB voltage with 10mV steps
to a maximum 31 steps or 360mV. When this pin is held LOW for longer than 200μs
the SP7686 enters shutdown. The part can be enabled using this pin. The first positive
edge resets the part. A second positive edge sets the part to VFB=0. A third positive
going edge will increase FB voltage to 60mV and subsequent positive edges increment
VFB in 10mV steps. The voltage level can increase only and must be reset to zero by
the 200μs shutdown timer in order to go to a lower current value. The part will be
limited to a 3.5s on time when FB voltage is set to 120mV and above. This pin cannot
be left open.
Current feedback input. Place an external current sense resistor from this pin to ground.
Voltage at this pin will be internally compared to the DAC output (60mV – 360mV).
Ground pin for SP7686 bias and reference (low current).
Ground pin for power (high current).
Output voltage of the internal charge pump. Connect the LED between this pin and the
current sense resistor. Voltage at this pin will be regulated in order to maintain constant
LED current. Place a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor next to this pin.

Description
Power supply input. Place a 10μF decoupling capacitor next to this pin.
Connect an external 0.22μF flying capacitor between these pins
The SP7686A uses the flash pin to switch between two internally preset voltage levels,
for Flash and Torch mode. The part is enabled and disabled by the separate ENABLE
pin. The part has a 3.5s maximum on time in Flash mode. After a 3.5s timeout occurs
the part shuts down and can be enabled by the FLASH or ENABLE pins. This pin cannot
be left open.
Current feedback input. Place an external current sense resistor from this pin to ground.
Voltage at this pin will be internally compared to 60mV or 160mV depending on the
logic level of the FLASH pin.
The SP7686A has this enable/shutdown pin. (Logic high = enable, logic low =
shutdown). Used to immediately disable the driver and PWM brightness control. There
is an internal pull down on this pin.
Ground pin for power (high current).
Output voltage of the internal charge pump. Connect the LED between this pin and the
current sense resistor. Voltage at this pin will be regulated in order to maintain constant
LED current. Place a 2.2μF ceramic capacitor next to this pin.
