SGM3140

500mA Buck/Boost

Charge Pump LED Driver

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SGM3140 is a current-regulated charge pump

ideal for powering high brightness LEDs for camera

flash applications. The charge pump can be set to

regulate two current levels for Flash and Torch modes.

The SGM3140 automatically switches modes between

step-up and step-down ensuring that LED current does

not depend on the forward voltage. It switches at

2.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny components. The

supply voltage ranges from 2.7V to 5.5V and is ideally

suited for all applications powered by a single Li-ion

battery cell or three to four NiCd, NiMH, or Alkaline

battery cells.

The SGM3140 also features a very low shutdown

current, an automatic soft-start mode to limit inrush

current, as well as over-current, over-voltage and

over-temperature thermal shutdown control.

A low current-sense reference voltage (47mV) allows

the use of small 0603 current sensing resistors.

The SGM3140 is available in Green TDFN-3×3-10L

package and is specified over an ambient temperature

range of -40

℃ to +85℃.
