1 General Description
The AS3689 is a highly-integrated CMOS Power
and Lighting Management Unit to supply power to
LCD-and cameramodules in mobile telephones, and
other 1-cell Li+ or 3-cell NiMH powered devices.
The AS3689 incorporates one low-power, lowdropout
regulator (LDO), one Step Up DC/DC
Converter for white backlight LEDs, one high-power
Charge Pump for camera flash LEDs, one Analogto-
Digital Converter, support for up to 11 current
sinks, a two wire serial interface, and control logic
all onto a single device. Output voltages and output
currents are fully programmable.
The AS3689 is a successor to the
austrimicrosystems AS3681 with several additional
features (Charge Pump Automatic Up Switching,
Extended timer features, autonomous logarithmic
and linear PWM dimming, LED pattern generator,
DCDC step up overvoltage protection, improved
Charge Pump and a fourth high current sink).
