Description
The Allegro
™
A8735 is a Xenon photoflash charger IC designed
to meet the needs of ultra low power, small form factor cameras,
particularly camera phones. By using primary-side voltage
sensing, the need for a secondary-side resistive voltage divider
is eliminated. This has the additional benefit of reducing leakage
currents on the secondary side of the transformer. To extend
battery life, the A8735 features very low supply current draw
(0.5
μA
max in shutdown mode). The IGBT driver also has
internal gate resistors for minimum external component count.
The charge and trigger voltage logic thresholds are set at 1
V
HI
(min) to support applications implementing low-voltage
control logic.
The A8735 is available in an 8-contact 2 mm × 2 mm
DFN/MLP package with a 0.60 maximum overall package
height, and an exposed pad for enhanced thermal performance.
It is lead (Pb) free with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.
Package: 8-pin DFN/MLP (suffix EE)
