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

Page 13: Introduction
Introduction STCF03 Introduction The STCF03 is a buck-boost converter, dedicated to power and control the current of a power white LED in a camera cell phone. The device operates at a constant switching frequency of 1.8 MHz typ. It provides an output voltage down to 2.5 V and up to 5.3 V, from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply voltage. -
Page 14: Add Pin
Introduction STCF03 7.2.4 ADD pin With this pin it is possible to select one of the 4 possible I²C slave addresses. No internal pull-up nor pull-down is provided. The pin has to be connected either GND, V , SCL or SDA to select the desired I²C slave address (see Table Table 7. -
Page 15: I²C Bus Interface
Introduction STCF03 I²C bus interface Data transmission from the main µP STCF03 and vice versa takes place through the 2 wires I²C 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 16: Byte Format
Introduction STCF03 Byte format Every byte transferred to the SDA line must contain 8 bits. Each byte must be followed by an acknowledge bit. The MSB is transferred first. One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse. -
Page 17: Writing To A Single Register
Introduction STCF03 Table 8. Interface protocol Device address + R/W bit Register address Data Writing to a single register Writing to a single register starts with a START bit followed by the 7 bit device address of STCF03. The 8 bit is the R/W bit, which is 0 in this case. -
Page 18: Writing To Multiple Registers With Incremental Addressing
Introduction STCF03 The register address byte determines the first register in which the read or write operation takes place. When the read or write operation is finished, the register address is automatically increased. 7.10 Writing to multiple registers with incremental addressing It would be unpractical to send several times the device address and the address of the register when writing to multiple registers. -

Description of internal registers STCF03 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 20 mA charges the output capacitor for 360 µs typ. -
Page 25: Detailed Description
Detailed description STCF03 Detailed description PowerON reset This mode is initiated by applying a supply voltage above the V threshold PW_ON RESET value. An internal timing (~1 µs) defines the duration of this status. The logic blocks are powered, but the device doesn't respond to any input. The registers are reset to their default values, the ATN and SDA pins are in high-Z, and the I²C slave address is internally set by reading the ADD pin configuration. -

Detailed description STCF03 TRIG_EN bit, and also resets the F_RUN bit. The ATN pin is pulled down to inform the µP that the STAT_REG has been updated. External (µP) temporization using TRIG_EN bit Even if it is possible, it is not recommended to use the TRIG_EN bit to start and stop the flash operation, because of I²C bus latencies: this would result in inaccurate flash timing. -
