SGM3140 500mA Buck/Boost Charge Pump LED Driver
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SGM3140 is a current-regulated buck/boost charge pump LED driver capable of driving 500mA output current. It is ideal for powering high brightness LEDs for camera flash applications. The SGM3140 has 1×/2× operation mode to control the output current for flash and torch modes.
The supply voltage operates from 2.7V to 5.5V and is well suited for various applications powered by a 1-cell Li-Ion battery, as well as 3-cell or 4-cell NiCd, NiMH or Alkaline batteries. The SGM3140 automatically converts between boost and buck modes. Therefore, it ensures that LED current cannot be restricted by the forward voltage. High switching frequency makes it easy to use tiny components.
