MAX8607
The MAX8607 white LED boost converter is optimized
for camera flash/strobe applications using high-current
white LEDs. The MAX8607 integrates a 1MHz PWM
boost converter, 1.5A low-dropout (LDO) current regu-
lator, and logic control circuitry for a space-saving LED
flash design. Two logic inputs control four modes of
operation: shutdown mode reduces the quiescent cur-
rent to 0.1µA (typ), movie mode supplies up to 360mA
of LED current for continuous lighting, flash mode sup-
plies up to 1.5A of LED current for short-duration light-
ing during an exposure, and disco mode supplies +5V
(at up to 1A) to external circuits while driving the LED
with a fixed 80mA current.
The internal 1MHz boost converter features an adaptive
control scheme with an internal switching MOSFET and
synchronous rectifier to improve efficiency and mini-
mize external component count. The MAX8607 is avail-
able in a 14-pin, 3mm x 3mm TDFN package (0.8mm
max height).

FUNCTION
Compensation Input. Connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from COMP to GND for regulator stability.
Enable Input 1. EN1 and EN2 set the operating mode (see Table 1).
Enable Input 2. EN1 and EN2 set the operating mode (see Table 1).
Movie Current Program Input. Connect a resistor from MOV to GND to set the LED current in movie mode.
R
MOV
must be greater than 2kΩ.
Flash Current Program Input. Connect a resistor from FLSH to GND to set the LED current in flash mode.
R
FLSH
must be greater than 2kΩ.
Analog Ground. Connect GND to the exposed paddle directly under the IC.
LED Current Regulator Ground. Connect LGND to the ground plane on the PC board.
LED Current Regulator. Connect LED to the cathode of the external LED. LED is high impedance during shutdown.
Power Ground. Connect PGND to the input capacitor ground. Also, connect PGND to the PC board ground plane.
Inductor Connection. Connect LX to the switched side of the inductor. LX is internally connected to the
drains of the internal MOSFETs. Both MOSFETs are off during shutdown.
Regulator Output. Connect OUT to the anode of the external LED. Bypass OUT to PGND with a 10µF or
larger ceramic capacitor. During shutdown, OUT is one body-diode drop below the input voltage.
Output Sense and IC Supply Input. Connect OUTS to OUT at the output bypass capacitor. The IC’s operating
power is supplied from OUTS.
Exposed Paddle. Connect the exposed paddle to GND directly under the IC and to a large PC board
ground plane for increased thermal performance.
