New cellular phones have incorporated high resolution cameras, which require high brightness illumination of the ambient area in order to achieve high quality pictures. Traditional xenon-filled photo Flash cannot be used in the very tight space available to photo cameras in cellular phones. Instead, design engineers use a white LED with high pulse

d current. It occupies small PCB space when compared with a traditional photo Flash however, it also provides significantly lower light. Additionally, this high current CAN overload the phone battery during Flash A possible solution to this problem is to use two or three LEDs instead of one in order to improve the light output and use a super capacitor to avoid battery overload. An example of this solution is shown below in Figures 1 and 2. The circuit uses three SP7618 LED Driver ICs with one photo Flash LED connected to each driver and 0. 5F super capacitor that acts as an energy storage element during the Flash pulse. DESCRIPTION AND BOARD SCHEMATIC The SP7618 is a linear low-side constant-current driver designed to drive high power LEDs from an input voltage rail. The driver acts as a high current source, ensuring constant LED current for the full range of input voltage. The SP7618 allows implementing the lowest cost LED Driver for a variety of applications. Internal circuitry maintains the preset constant current output for a wide voltage range at the LED input. The LED current CAN be adjusted up to 1033mA with an external Clock applied to the CTRL pin. Dimming CAN be achieved by using the sequencing CTRL pin or feeding a PWM signal to the EN pin. The built-in thermal protection automatically stops LED current to prevent overheating. A timeout function serves as a fail safe, shutting down the output for currents...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
