No external components means zero design time for LED based Camera Flash
applications
MILPITAS, Calif., Dec. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sipex Corporation
(OTC: SIPX.PK), today announced the release of the SP7618, the industry's
first dynamically programmable LED driver capable of driving next
generation low forward voltage LEDs up to 1 Amp for Flash and other
applications. This device simplifies the design of multi-mode LED lighting
when used for mobile phone camera flash, torch mode, and red-eye reduction
flash applications.
The SP7618 allows for on-the-fly dynamic programming of the LED drive
current from 33mA to 1A. Low dropout voltage gives the ability to drive the
LED directly from a single cell Li-Ion or three alkaline batteries in
series without the additional cost of a boost regulator. Other LED lighting
applications may also benefit from the ability to dynamically change
current level and PWM width at the same time.
In addition to the SP7618, Sipex also released the SP7619 and SP7619A
Flash Drivers. These devices allow the user to select from two pre-set
current levels. The SP7619 offers selectable outputs of 200mA and 500mA,
and the SP7619A offers selectable outputs of 200mA and 700mA. This family
of LED Flash Drivers enables a wide range of LED lighting applications with
zero external components and near zero design time. Offered in a tiny 2mm x
3mm DFN package, these devices are the smallest high current LED drivers in
the market today.
"Design simplicity is essential to Consumer Electronic applications",
said Jason Lu, Sr. Technical Marketing Manager. "Sipex continues its
commitment to providing unique LED driver solutions like the SP7618, SP7619
and SP7619A. Together with Sipex's charge pump based LED Flash drivers,
system designers have the solutions necessary to use a wide variety of high
power LEDs."
Pricing and Availability
SP7618, SP7619 and SP7619A are available now. Pricing for these
products begins at $0.65 in 1,000 piece quantities. Datasheets and
additional information on this family and other Sipex product offerings may
