The LM2753 is capable of driving a Flash LED with a pulsed current of 400mA at an input voltage of 3.6V. A switched capacitor doubler, the LM2753 provides a regulated 5V output (VOUT) over an input supply range of 3.0V to 5.5V. The switched output, IOUT, takes less than 10ns to turn on and provide maximum current to a Flash LED. Flash LED current is set via a ballast resistor. Continuous illumination current (Torch Mode) is programmed by connecting a resistor between IOUT and VOUT. This device uses only three small, low-cost ceramic capacitors.
