General Description

The MIC2870 is a high-current, high-efficiency flash LED driver for one or two high-brightness camera flash LEDs.
The LED driver current is generated by an integrated inductive boost converter with 2MHz switching frequency which allows the use of a very-small inductor and output capacitor. These features make the MIC2870 an ideal solution for high-resolution camera phone LED flashlight driver applications.
