LM3646 Overview
The LM3646 utilizes a 4-MHz fixed-frequency synchronous boost converter to provide power to dual 1.5-A constant current LED sources. The high-side current sources allow for grounded cathode LED operation providing flash current up to 1.5 A total. An adaptive headroom regulation scheme ensures the LED currents remain in regulation and maximizes efficiency.
