Alpha & Omega Semiconductor AOZ1966DI

Description

The AOZ1966DI is the ideal power solution for high power flash LEDs used with cell phone camera modules or digital still cameras. It is a highly integrated step up DC-DC converter with very high switching frequency， fixed at 2MHz， providing a very small total solution for portable photo flash. The AOZ1966DI has separate flash-mode and movie/torch mode enable pins for maximum flexibility. The flash mode and movie/torch-mode LED current is programmed by external resistors respectively, making the flash LED solution simple to control. If both enable pins are at logic high, the LED current will be programmed by the movie/torch-mode setting resistor.

The two LED output sinks can be shorted together externally for higher power single flash LED, up to 1.5A continuous LED current. Thermal regulation is integrated in flash mode to limit the IC’s temperature and continuously provide the maximum allowed output current.

Various protection features are built into the AOZ1966DI, including cycle-by-cycle input current limit protection, output over-voltage protection, LED fault(open or short) protection and thermal shut down protection. The leakage current in shutdown mode is 0.1μA.

The AOZ1966DI is available in a RoHS compliant 14 lead 2X3X0.75mm Thin DFN.
