Product details
Overview
LM3565TLE/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 4 MHz synchronous boost LED flash driver IC designed to deliver up to 930 mA into two series-connected white LEDs, featuring hardware-triggered strobe/torch control, 8-bit ADC for input/LED voltage monitoring, and I²C-compatible interface. It operates across 2.5–5.5 V input, supports adaptive flash scaling, and targets camera phone flash systems requiring high-current, low-noise, and fast-ramp LED control.
For engineers reviewing the LM3565TLE/NOPB datasheet, LM3565TLE/NOPB pinout, LM3565TLE/NOPB application, or LM3565TLE/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-mode (flash/assist) current source architecture, 16-bump DSBGA package with dedicated TORCH/STROBE/TX-MASK pins, thermal and over-voltage fault reporting, and programmable inductor current limits for optimized efficiency across battery voltage ranges.
Technical Context
The LM3565TLE/NOPB integrates a fixed-frequency 4 MHz current-mode PWM boost converter with dual SW outputs driving external inductors, coupled to a single high-side current sink that regulates LED current with ≤5% accuracy and 300 mV headroom. Its control logic supports both I²C register-based configuration and direct hardware triggering via STROBE (edge- or level-sensitive) and TORCH pins.
It includes an 8-bit ADC for real-time VIN and VLED measurement, four selectable peak inductor current limits (2.3 A to 3.3 A), and comprehensive fault detection-OVP (9.0–10.0 V), UVLO (2.3–2.5 V), thermal shutdown (150°C), short-circuit, and flash timeout-with status reported via fault registers accessible over I²C.
Key Specifications

| Boost Switching Frequency | 4.0 MHz ±5% - enables use of compact 1 µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering requirements |
| Current Source Accuracy | ±5% - ensures consistent LED luminance across temperature and supply variations |
| ADC Resolution | 8-bit - provides 31.4–50 mV step size for VIN/VLED monitoring during flash assist events |
| Package | 16-bump DSBGA (1.99 mm × 1.99 mm × 0.6 mm) - ultra-compact footprint for space-constrained mobile camera modules |
| I²C Interface Speed | 400 kHz - compatible with standard Fast-mode I²C controllers in baseband processors |
Pinout & Package
LM3565TLE/NOPB uses a 16-bump, 1.990 mm × 1.990 mm × 0.6 mm DSBGA package (YZR0016AAA) with bumps arranged in a 4×4 grid. Power and ground pins are duplicated for low-impedance return paths and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1, A2 | PGND | Power ground connection - must be tied directly to PCB power plane for low-noise switching return |
| A3 | VIN | Main input supply - requires local 10 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| A4 | ENABLE | Chip enable control - low = shutdown (1 µA), high = standby (1 µA), allows wake-up via TORCH |
| B1, B2 | SW1, SW2 | Boost switch node outputs - connect to separate 1 µH inductors for dual-path energy transfer |
| B3 | TORCH | Hardware torch enable - high pulse activates constant-current assist mode (60/90 mA) |
| B4 | TX-MASK | RF transmit interrupt - high asserts current reduction to prevent battery overcurrent during PA burst |
| C1, C2 | VOUT1, VOUT2 | Boost output nodes - tied together externally; require local 10 µF output capacitors |
| C3 | STROBE | Hardware flash trigger - rising edge (or level) initiates flash ramp-up; supports PWM modulation |
| C4 | SDA | I²C data line - bidirectional, open-drain, requires external pull-up to VIO |
| D1, D2 | LEDOUT1, LEDOUT2 | High-side LED current outputs - connected in parallel to drive two-series WLED string to GND |
| D3 | AGND | Analog ground - isolated reference for ADC and internal comparators; connect to clean analog ground plane |
| D4 | SCL | I²C clock input - driven by host processor; 400 kHz max frequency, requires external pull-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adaptive Flash Scaling | Adjusts maximum flash current based on real-time VIN measurement to maintain consistent light output across battery discharge |
| Dedicated TX-MASK Pin | Enables hardware-level coordination with RF power amplifier to reduce LED current during TX bursts, preventing battery sag-induced system reset |
| Strobe-Modulated PWM | Allows dynamic current adjustment during flash/assist via external STROBE toggling - full current when high, reduced current (≥60 mA) when low |
| Integrated Fault Reporting | Registers OVP, UVLO, thermal shutdown, VOUT/VLED shorts, and flash timeout in dedicated fault registers (0x08/0x09) readable over I²C |
| Four Inductor Current Limits | Selectable via register (2.3/2.6/2.9/3.3 A) to match inductor saturation rating and optimize efficiency vs. size trade-off |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED flash driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3560TLE/NOPB | Lower max flash current (750 mA), no TX-MASK pin, identical DSBGA-16 package and I²C interface | Lacks hardware RF coordination capability; suitable only for non-cellular imaging devices | Select when flash current ≤750 mA suffices and RF coexistence is not required |
| TPS61310DSQR | Non-flash-specific boost + current sink; no integrated STROBE/TORCH logic, no fault registers, 10-pin WSON package | Requires external GPIO sequencing and firmware fault handling; higher BOM count and layout complexity | Select for cost-sensitive designs where full flash feature set is unnecessary and software control is preferred |
Compared with LM3565TLE/NOPB, LM3560TLE/NOPB offers reduced flash capability but identical footprint and control interface, while TPS61310DSQR demands additional discrete logic and firmware to replicate hardware-triggered modes and fault reporting - making LM3565TLE/NOPB optimal for cellular camera modules requiring robust, integrated flash control.

FAQ
What is the maximum LED current supported by the LM3565TLE/NOPB?
The LM3565TLE/NOPB supports a maximum flash LED current of 930 mA, programmable in 30 mA increments from 480 mA to 930 mA via its Current Set Register (0x02). In torch/assist mode, it delivers either 60 mA or 90 mA continuously. This current is regulated with ±5% accuracy across temperature and input voltage variations, and the device maintains regulation with only 300–350 mV headroom across the current source.
How does the TX-MASK pin function in the LM3565TLE/NOPB?
The TX-MASK pin in the LM3565TLE/NOPB provides hardware-level coordination with the RF power amplifier: when pulled high, it reduces the active flash current by a value programmed in the TX-Mask Register (0x03), preventing battery overcurrent during simultaneous TX and flash events. The current reduction is applied instantly (no ramp), while recovery to full current is ramped. This feature is essential for cellular camera modules to avoid brownouts during LTE/WCDMA transmission bursts.
Can the LM3565TLE/NOPB operate without I²C communication?
Yes, the LM3565TLE/NOPB can operate fully without I²C communication. Hardware pins TORCH and STROBE enable standalone torch (60/90 mA) and flash (programmed current) modes respectively. ENABLE pin controls standby/shutdown, and default register values (e.g., 750 mA flash, 60 mA torch) are active at power-up. I²C is required only for advanced configuration such as current level changes, fault register reads, or ADC data acquisition.
What protection features are integrated into the LM3565TLE/NOPB?
The LM3565TLE/NOPB integrates over-voltage protection (9.0–10.0 V on VOUT), under-voltage lockout (2.3–2.5 V on VIN), thermal shutdown (150°C junction), VOUT/VLED short-circuit detection, flash timeout, TX-MASK event flagging, and input low-voltage detect. All faults are latched and reported in the Fault and Info Register (0x08/0x09), accessible via I²C. No external components are needed to enable these protections.
What is the recommended inductor value for the LM3565TLE/NOPB?
The recommended inductor value for the LM3565TLE/NOPB is 1 µH, as validated in the typical application circuit and all efficiency/ripple characterization plots. TI specifies this value for operation across the full 2.5–5.5 V input range and 480–930 mA output current. Inductors must support ≥3.3 A peak current (per phase) and exhibit low DC resistance to maintain >85% efficiency at 930 mA; shielded power inductors with 20% tolerance are advised.
