C
1. General Description
The AP2071AEN is a white LED driver IC for camera flash, using EDLC (Electronic Double Layer
Capacitor) in portable equipment. The AP2071AEN integrates a current mode synchronous boost DC-DC
converter and four maximum 2A current sources (maximum 8.0A total). The internal boost DC-DC converter
integrates a switching FET and synchronous rectifier, and supporting small size multilayer inductor with
2MHz switching frequency. An integrated EDLC voltage control circuit and a charge current control circuit
makes the AP2071AEN most suitable for EDLC charge systems. The AP2071AEN also includes eight
protections that are an under voltage lock out, EDLC cell short/open protection, thermal detection, LED
open/short detection, LED thermal protection, output-ground short protection, inductor current limitation and
flashing time limitation to avoid significant system problems. Flash current, torch current, charge current,
inductor limit current, flash on-time and EDLC full charge voltage are programmable through I
2
C interface.
The AP2071AEN is housed in a small size package (24-pin QFN, 4.0mm x 4.0mm) to utilize less board space.
