Product details
Overview
LP55271TLX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a lighting management IC integrating a 370-mA flash LED driver, four 15-mA constant-current backlight drivers, and a programmable boost DC-DC converter (4.0–5.4 V output) for camera flash and keypad/display illumination in battery-powered handheld devices. It supports I²C control, audio-synchronized LED1 modulation, and built-in LED connectivity test.
For engineers reviewing the LP55271TLX/NOPB datasheet, LP55271TLX/NOPB pinout, LP55271TLX/NOPB application, or LP55271TLX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include flash current accuracy (±7.5%), torch mode capability (46 mA), 8-bit per-LED brightness control, audio sync gain/AGC configuration, and DSBGA-30 package compatibility with space-constrained mobile designs.
Technical Context
The LP55271TLX/NOPB implements a magnetic CPM (current-programmed mode) boost converter with selectable 1.0 MHz or 2.0 MHz switching frequency (RT = 82 kΩ), overvoltage/overcurrent protection, and soft-start. Its flash driver features hardware/software enable via FLASH_SYNC pin and safety timeout (1.0 s or 2.0 s) to prevent thermal damage.
Four independent 8-bit DAC-controlled LED sinks support per-channel brightness programming (0–15 mA, ±7% tolerance, 1% matching), while LED1 integrates stereo audio input (ASE1/ASE2), digital peak detection, AGC, and programmable threshold (0.2–2.7 V) and refresh rate (3.8–FASTEST Hz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Flash Sink Current | 370 mA ±7.5% - enables high-intensity camera flash with thermal safety cutoff |
| Torch Mode Current | 46 mA - provides continuous illumination for low-power flashlight applications |
| Boost Output Voltage | 4.0–5.4 V in 8 steps - configurable via 4-bit register to match LED forward voltage stack |
| LED Driver Current | 0–15 mA per channel (8-bit DAC, 0.059 mA step) - precise backlight/keypad dimming |
| Audio Sync Inputs | Two single-ended analog inputs (0–1.6 Vpp, 10–15 kΩ impedance) - enables music-reactive LED1 behavior |
| I²C Interface | Standard-mode (400 kHz), VDD_IO = 1.65–VDD1 - compatible with common mobile MCUs |
| Operating Voltage | VDD1/VDD2 = 3.0–5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.5 V) with headroom for boost |
Pinout & Package
LP55271TLX/NOPB uses a 30-pin DSBGA package (2.466 mm × 2.974 mm × 0.60 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), optimized for ultra-thin mobile PCBs with minimal external component count.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver and flash management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LP55231RLVR | 3-channel LED driver (no flash), no audio sync, smaller 20-pin DSBGA, lower max current (25 mA/channel) | Suitable for basic backlight-only systems without camera or audio features | Select when flash/audio functionality is unnecessary and board area is extremely constrained |
| LM3530UMX/NOPB | 6-channel LED driver with I²C, no integrated boost or flash circuit; requires external DC-DC for >3.6 V LEDs | Targeted at LCD backlighting with ambient light sensing-not designed for flash or audio sync | Choose when driving higher-voltage LED strings and system already includes a dedicated boost converter |
Compared with LP55271TLX/NOPB, LP55231RLVR lacks flash and audio capabilities but offers smaller footprint, while LM3530UMX/NOPB provides more LED channels but requires external power conversion and cannot replace LP55271TLX/NOPB's integrated flash safety and synchronization functions.

FAQ
What is the maximum flash current supported by the LP55271TLX/NOPB?
The LP55271TLX/NOPB supports a maximum flash sink current of 370 mA with ±7.5% accuracy at VFLASH = 1.0 V. This current is set externally using resistor RF (IFLASH = 480/RF amperes), and the minimum recommended RF value is 1200 Ω to avoid exceeding safe operating limits. The LP55271TLX/NOPB also includes a hardware safety timer that disables the flash after 1.0 s or 2.0 s to prevent thermal damage.
How does the LP55271TLX/NOPB implement audio synchronization for LED1?
The LP55271TLX/NOPB accepts stereo analog inputs on ASE1 and ASE2 (0–1.6 Vpp), digitizes them, applies programmable gain (0 to –46 dB) and optional AGC, detects signal peaks, and maps amplitude to LED1 brightness in real time. Refresh rate (3.8–FASTEST Hz) and threshold (0.2–2.7 V) are configurable via registers. When enabled, LED1 brightness control via I²C is disabled-audio sync takes full control of LED1 output.
Can the LP55271TLX/NOPB drive LEDs requiring more than 5.4 V forward voltage?
No-the LP55271TLX/NOPB's integrated boost converter has a maximum programmable output voltage of 5.4 V (set via 4-bit register). It cannot drive LED strings whose total forward voltage exceeds this limit. For higher-voltage applications, an external boost or buck-boost converter must be used, and the LP55271TLX/NOPB would serve only as the constant-current sink controller-not as the power source.
What package type and dimensions does the LP55271TLX/NOPB use?
The LP55271TLX/NOPB uses a 30-pin DSBGA (Die Size Ball Grid Array) package with dimensions 2.466 mm × 2.974 mm × 0.60 mm and 0.5 mm ball pitch (Package Number YZR0030). This ultra-compact, bottom-terminal package is designed for high-density mobile PCB layouts and requires careful attention to solder paste volume and reflow profile per TI's AN1112 specification.
Does the LP55271TLX/NOPB support I²C clock stretching or multi-master arbitration?
No-the LP55271TLX/NOPB implements a standard-mode I²C slave interface (400 kHz max) without clock stretching or multi-master arbitration support. It acknowledges addresses and data bytes but does not hold SCL low. System designers must ensure the master controls timing strictly and avoids bus contention; the LP55271TLX/NOPB will not participate in arbitration or extend clock cycles.
