Product details
Overview
LTC3216EDE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-noise, high-current charge pump DC/DC converter designed to drive white LEDs in camera flash and torch applications. It delivers up to 1A output current with independent 200mA torch and 800mA flash programming, operates from 2.9V–4.4V input, and features automatic 1x/1.5x/2x mode switching for optimal efficiency in mobile phone LED lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3216EDE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3216EDE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3216EDE#TRPBF application, or LTC3216EDE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include ILED dropout voltage (120mV), 4% LED current accuracy, 900kHz fixed-frequency operation, open/shorted LED protection, and thermal shutdown at ~150°C - all critical for compact, battery-powered imaging subsystems.
Technical Context
The LTC3216EDE#TRPBF implements a fractional switched-capacitor architecture with nonoverlapping 900kHz clocking to enable 1x (direct VIN-to-CPO), 1.5x (4.6V regulated), and 2x (5.1V regulated) charge pump modes. Mode transitions are triggered by real-time dropout detection at the ILED pin, with programmable warm-up delays (150ms in torch, 2ms in flash mode) to accommodate LED forward voltage settling.
Current regulation is achieved via two independent 1.22V-referenced ISET pins driving external resistors (RSET = 3965/ILED), supporting discrete low-current (200mA), high-current (800mA), and summed (1A) output states. The ultralow-dropout current source maintains accuracy down to 120mV headroom, while integrated soft-start limits inrush current during startup and mode changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.9V to 4.4V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer batteries without pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 1A pulsed (10% duty cycle) - supports high-intensity flash bursts in smartphone cameras. |
| LED Current Accuracy | ±4% - ensures consistent brightness across production units and temperature range (–40°C to 85°C). |
| Switching Frequency | 900kHz (typ) - enables use of small 2.2μF ceramic flying capacitors and minimizes EMI filtering needs. |
| Shutdown Current | 2.5μA - preserves battery life during idle periods in always-on mobile devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120mV at 200mA - sustains accurate LED current even as battery discharges below 3.0V. |
| Charge Pump Modes | 1x (VIN), 1.5x (4.6V), 2x (5.1V) - automatically selected to maximize efficiency per LED VF and input voltage. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 13), RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1+, C1−, C2+, C2− (Pins 1,2,10,12) | Flying capacitor interfaces | Connect 2.2μF X5R/X7R ceramics; bidirectional high-dv/dt nodes requiring tight layout to minimize EMI. |
| CPO (Pin 3) | Charge pump output | Supplies regulated voltage to LED anode; requires 4.7μF ceramic bypass to GND for ripple control and loop stability. |
| ISET1, ISET2 (Pins 4,6) | Current programming reference inputs | Each servos to 1.22V; resistor-to-GND sets torch (ISET1) and flash (ISET2) currents independently. |
| ILED (Pin 5) | LED current sink output | Drives LED cathode; current magnitude determined by EN1/EN2 logic state and ISET resistor values. |
| EN1, EN2 (Pins 7,8) | Digital mode select inputs | CMOS-compatible; define shutdown (00), torch (10), flash (01), or combined (11) output states. |
| VIN (Pin 9) | Main power input | 2.9V–4.4V supply; must be bypassed with ≥2.2μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor directly to GND. |
| GND (Pin 11) | Charge pump ground | Low-impedance return path for flying capacitors and internal switches; connects to PCB ground plane. |
| Exposed Pad (Pin 13) | Thermal & electrical ground | Mandatory solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation (θJA = 43°C/W) and noise reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor architecture | Eliminates magnetic components and associated EMI, enabling <1mm profile designs ideal for slim smartphones. |
| Independent torch/flash control | Separate ISET1/ISET2 resistors allow precise tuning of low-power illumination (200mA) and high-power strobe (800mA) without firmware changes. |
| Automatic mode switching | Hardware-based transition between 1x→1.5x→2x modes avoids software overhead and ensures deterministic response to LED VF drift. |
| Open/shorted LED protection | Detects fault conditions and disables output to prevent damage during assembly or field failure - no external circuitry required. |
| Ultralow dropout current source | Maintains ±4% current regulation with only 120mV headroom, extending usable battery range in low-VIN scenarios. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3206EDE#TRPBF | 400mA max output, 800kHz switching, fixed 5.5V VOUT, no independent torch/flash control | Targeted at multi-display backlighting, not high-current flash; lacks dropout-aware mode switching | Select when lower peak current and simpler dual-LED biasing suffice; not suitable for >600mA flash demands. |
| LT3467EFE#TRPBF | 1.1A switch-current boost converter, 1.3MHz, requires external inductor, higher quiescent current (1.2mA) | Better suited for wide-input (2.4V–16V) industrial LED drivers; no integrated LED protection or thermal shutdown | Choose for higher VIN ranges or where inductor-based efficiency outweighs board-space constraints; adds BOM complexity. |
Compared with LTC3216EDE#TRPBF, LTC3206EDE#TRPBF trades peak current and adaptive mode control for lower cost and simpler biasing, while LT3467EFE#TRPBF offers broader input range and higher switching frequency at the expense of inductor dependency and missing LED fault protections.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the LTC3216EDE#TRPBF?
The LTC3216EDE#TRPBF supports 500mA continuous output current. Its 1A rating applies only to pulsed operation with ≤10% duty cycle and appropriate thermal management. Exceeding 500mA continuously risks triggering thermal shutdown (~150°C junction limit), especially without adequate PCB copper area connected to the exposed pad.
How does the LTC3216EDE#TRPBF achieve automatic mode switching between 1x, 1.5x, and 2x charge pump operation?
The LTC3216EDE#TRPBF monitors voltage headroom at the ILED pin. When dropout is detected (i.e., insufficient voltage across the current source), it transitions after a fixed delay-150ms in torch mode or 2ms in flash mode-to the next higher gain mode. The LTC3216EDE#TRPBF resets to 1x mode only upon entering shutdown (EN1=EN2=LOW) and subsequent re-enablement.
Can the LTC3216EDE#TRPBF drive multiple LEDs in series or parallel configurations?
The LTC3216EDE#TRPBF is designed as a single-string LED current sink. Driving multiple LEDs in series exceeds its 5.1V 2x-mode output capability for typical white LEDs. Parallel strings require individual current-setting resistors and careful thermal balancing; the LTC3216EDE#TRPBF does not provide per-string regulation or mismatch compensation.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (Pin 13) on the LTC3216EDE#TRPBF DFN package?
The exposed pad on the LTC3216EDE#TRPBF serves as both thermal dissipation path and electrical ground reference. It must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane to achieve θJA = 43°C/W and ensure stable operation under 1A pulsed loads. Leaving it unconnected degrades thermal performance and may cause premature thermal shutdown.
Does the LTC3216EDE#TRPBF include protection against LED open-circuit or short-circuit faults?
Yes, the LTC3216EDE#TRPBF integrates both open-LED and shorted-LED protection. An open-circuit condition disables the output and places the device in a low-power state, while a shorted-LED fault triggers immediate shutdown. These protections operate autonomously without external components, enhancing system reliability in consumer imaging products.
