The SP6686 is a current-regulated charge pump ideal for powering high brightness LEDs for camera flash applications.
 
The charge pump can be set to regulate two current levels for FLASH and TORCH modes. The SP6686 automatically switches modes between step-up and step-down ensuring that LED current does not depend on the forward voltage. A low current sense reference voltage (50mV) allows the use of small 0603 current sensing resistors.
 
The SP6686 is designed to operate from a single cell lithium-ion battery or fixed 3.3V or 5.0V power rails and is available in a RoHS compliant, “green”/halogen free space saving 10-pin 3mmx3mm DFN package.

  • Output current up to 400mA
  • Up to 94% efficiency in torch mode
  • Automatic soft-start limits inrush current
  • Adjustable FLASH mode
  • x1 and x2 automatic modes for high efficiency
  • Minimum external components: no inductors
  • High frequency operation: 2.4MHz
  • Low 50mV reference for low loss sensing
  • 1μA shutdown current
  • PWM dimming control
  • Automatic switchover between buck/boost
  • Overvoltage protection on output
  • Overcurrent/temperature protection
  • Low ripple and EMI
  • Space Saving 10-pin 3mm x 3mm DFN package

Distribution Date Description File
10/10/2023 Product Discontinuation Notice
07/17/2023 In 2023, MaxLinear will be converting all shipping labels for the parts noted from an EXAR format to MaxLinear’s label. During this transition customers may receive either label. This change affects only shipping and packing labels. This change will not affect the part number, part marking, manufacturing process or manufacturing sites. Only work in progress material will be converted. Existing inventory from MaxLinear’s warehouse, channel sales, distributor, and such, will not be converted. Hence, customers may experience receiving mixed shipments with both Exar and MaxLinear labels for some period until existing inventory of old labels is eventually cleared out. Situation is product to product with no predictable way to determine when all old labels will be exhausted. No change to product form, fit, function and reliability. ADDENDUM A: Fixed MBB label logo for DX204001 to MaxLinear logo. ADDENDUM B: Replaced ‘All other affected products outer box label’ with clearer pictures. Corrected Date Issued (from original PCN) issue date +90 days to August 30, 2023.

07/26/2016 Product discontinuation notification. Discontinued.
10/04/2013 Addition of an alternate qualified assembly site, UTAC Thailand, for assembly using copper or gold wire bonding. Material change and alternate assembly site.
07/15/2009 Wafer fabrication process flow in Jazz Semiconductor foundry has been modified and two metal masks were revised. Applicable datasheets are changed to specify all pins meet ESD-HBM of 2KV except EN pin that meets 1KV. There is no change to Form, Fit, or Function as stated in the applicable datasheets except for the ESD rating as stated above. Process standardization to eliminate product specific flow.
