Diodes Incorporated AL3644 | Demoboard AL3644EV1

Description

The AL3644 is a dual LED flash driver that provides a high level of adjustability within a small solution size. The AL3644 utilizes a 2-MHz or 4-MHz fixed frequency synchronous boost converter to provide power to the dual 1.5-A constant current LED sources. The dual 128 level current sources provide the flexibility to adjust the current ratios between LED1 and LED2. An adaptive regulation method ensures the current sources remain in regulation and maximizes efficiency.
