Product Overview
The LM36010 is a Texas Instruments synchronous boost LED flash driver for Power_Management designs requiring controlled LED current in flash, IR, torch, or movie mode. Its high-side current source supports flash current from 11 mA to 1.5 A across 128 levels and torch/movie current from 2.4 mA to 376 mA across 128 levels.
The device operates from a recommended 2.5 to 5.5 V input range and uses a fixed-frequency synchronous boost converter selectable at 2 MHz or 4 MHz. The I2C-compatible interface supports 400 kHz operation with address 0x64, while the STROBE input includes an internal 300 kOhm pulldown to GND.
The package is an 8-pin DSBGA YKB with a 1.512 mm x 0.800 mm body. Thermal data includes 117.3 °C/W junction-to-ambient resistance, 1.3 °C/W junction-to-case top resistance, and 34.3 °C/W junction-to-board resistance for the YKB DSBGA package.
