LM3555Synchronous boost converter with 500 mA high side LED driver and dual-Mode control interface | Integrated Circuits (ICs) | 2 | Active | The LM3555 is a 2-MHz fixed-frequency, current-mode synchronous boost converter designed to drive either a single flash LED at 500 mA or two series flash LEDs at 400 mA. A high-voltage current source allows the LEDs to be terminated to the GND plane eliminating the need for an additional return trace back to the device.
A dual-mode control interface allows the user to configure the LM3555 with a general-purpose interface using two enable pins for control or an I2C allowing a higher level of control. Both interfaces allow access to the indicator, assist light, and flash modes. A dedicated STROBE pin provides a direct interface to trigger the flash event, while an external TORCH pin provides an additional method for enabling the LEDs in a constant current mode.
The LM3555 can adaptively scale the maximum flash level delivered to the LEDs based upon the flash configuration, whether it be a single LED or two LEDs in series.
Eight protection features are available on the LM3555 ranging from overvoltage protection to broken inductor detection. The LM3555 has four selectable inductor current limits to help the user select an inductor that is appropriate for the design.

LM3559Synchronous boost flash driver with dual 900 mA high side current sources (1.8A Total flash current | Evaluation Boards | 2 | Active | The LM3559 is a 2-MHz fixed-frequency synchronous boost converter with two 900-mA constant current drivers for high-current white LEDs. The dual high-side current sources allow for grounded cathode LED operation and can be tied together for providing flash currents of up to 1.8 A. An adaptive regulation method ensures the current for each LED remains in regulation and maximizes efficiency.
The LM3559 is controlled via an I2C-compatible interface. Features include: an internal 4-bit ADC to monitor the LED voltage, independent LED current control, a hardware flash enable allowing a logic input to trigger the flash pulse, dual TX inputs which force the flash pulse into a low-current torch mode allowing for synchronization to RF power amplifier events or other high-current conditions, an integrated comparator designed to monitor an NTC thermistor and provide an interrupt to the LED current, an input voltage monitor to monitor low battery conditions, and a flash current scale-back feature that actively monitors the battery voltage and optimizes the flash current during low battery-voltage conditions. Additionally, an active high HWEN input provides a hardware shutdown during system software failures.
The 2-MHz switching frequency, overvoltage protection, and adjustable current limit allow for the use of tiny, low-profile (1-µH or 2.2-µH) inductors and (10-µF) ceramic capacitors. The device is available in a ultra-small 16-pin DSBGA package (total solution size < 26 mm2) and operates over the –40°C to +85°C temperature range.
