Description
The STCF03 is a high efficiency power supply
solution to drive a single flash LED in camera
phone, PDAs and other hand-held devices. It is a
buck - boost converter to guarantee a proper LED
current control over all possible conditions of
battery voltage and output voltage; the output
current control ensure a good current regulation
over the forward voltage spread characteristics of
the Flash LED.
Thanks to the high efficiency of the converter
allows having the input current taken from the
battery remain under 1.5 A. (See continuous

  • Page 13: Introduction

    ATN pin This output pin (open-drain, active LOW) is provided to better manage the information transfer from the STCF03 to the µP. Because of the limitations of a Single Master I C bus configuration, the µP should regularly poll the STCF03 to verify if certain operations have been completed, or to check diagnostic information.
  • Page 14: Add Pin

    C BUS interface Data transmission from the main µP STCF03 and vice versa takes place through the 2 wires C bus interface wires, consisting of the two lines SDA and SCL (pull-up resistors to a positive supply voltage must be externally connected). The recommended maximum voltage of these signals should be 3.0 V.
  • Page 15: Start And Stop Conditions

    Introduction STCF03 Start and stop conditions Both DATA and CLOCK lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy. As shown in Figure 5 start condition is a HIGH to LOW transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH. The stop condition is a LOW to HIGH transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH.
  • Page 16: Acknowledge

    Then the master waits for an acknowledge from STCF03. Then the 8 bit address of register is sent to STCF03. It is also followed by an acknowledge pulse. The last transmitted byte is the data that is going to be written to the register. It is again followed by an acknowledge pulse from STCF03.
  • Page 17: Interface Protocol

    It would be unpractical to send several times the device address and the address of the register when writing to multiple registers. STCF03 supports writing to multiple registers with incremental addressing. When the data is written to a register, the address register is automatically increased, so the next data can be sent without sending the device address and the register address again.
  • Page 18: Reading From A Single Register

    Then the master generates a START bit again and sends the device address followed by the R/W bit, which is 1 now. STCF03 confirms the receiving of the address + R/W bit by an acknowledge pulse and starts to send the data to the master. No acknowledge pulse from the master is required after receiving the data.

  • Page 20: Description Of Internal Registers

    PWR_ON=1. LED current is controlled by the value set by the FDIM_0~3 of the DIM_REG. TCH_ON When set from Ready Mode, the STCF03 enters the Torch mode. The LED current is controlled by the value set by the TDIM_0~3 of the DIM_REG. NTC_ON In ready mode, the comparators that monitor the LED temperature are activated if NTC_ON bit is set.
  • Page 21: Ftim_0~3

    This 4bit register defines the maximum Flash duration. It is intended to limit the energy dissipated by the LED to a maximum safe value or to leave to the STCF03 the control of the Flash duration during normal operation. Values from 0~15 correspond to 0~1.5s (100ms steps).

    STAT_REG. 8.12 NTC_W This bit is set HIGH by the STCF03 and the ATN pin is pulled down, when the voltage seen on the pin Rx exceeds V = 0.56 V. This threshold corresponds to a warning temperature REF4 value at the LED measured by the NTC.
  • Page 24: Voutok_N

    8.15 VOUTOK_N This bit is set by the STCF03. It is used to protect the device, if the output is shorted. The VOUTOK_N bit is set to HIGH at the start-up. Then a current generator of 20mA charges the output capacitor for 360 µs typ. and it detects when the output capacitor reaches 100 mV. If this threshold is reached the bit is set to LOW.

    A/D converter. When NTC circuits are active and the V is present, the typ. current REF-EXT consumption is increased to 1 µA, then it is recommended not to leave the STCF03 in this status if battery drain has to be minimized. Ready mode In this mode all internal blocks are turned ON, but the DC/DC converter is disabled and the White LED is disconnected.
