Features of LED Flash Driver "LM36010"
The LM36010 is an LED flash driver provided by Texas Instruments (hereafter TI).
In flash mode, it can drive a maximum current of 1.5A within 1.6 seconds, making it ideal for surveillance cameras that require the necessary brightness in a short period of time.
In addition, current control is possible from 2.4mA to 376mA in torch mode. Therefore, it is also suitable for mobile devices that require high efficiency.
Input voltage (Min) | Input voltage (Max) | Number of LEDs | drive current | interface | temperature range |
2.5V | 5.5V | 1 | 1.5A | I2C | -40~85℃ |
The LM36010 has the following major features and benefits.
1. Drive LED flash current up to 1.5A for short duration
Utilizing 2MHz and 4MHz synchronous boost converters, the LM36010 can drive LED flash currents ranging from 11mA to 1.5A within 1.6 seconds.
Therefore, an LED flash with the required brightness can be achieved in a short time.
2. Only 7mm2 ultra-small package, minimum board area required for mounting
The LM36010 is an 8-pin ultra-small DSBGA package.
Since the package size is 7mm2, it can be mounted in a small board area.
It is ideal for applications where board size is limited, such as surveillance cameras and mobile devices.
3. Easy control with "I2C" interface
The LM36010 has an I2C interface for various device settings. Therefore, it is easy to control the LM36010 from a microcontroller.
