The AP2071AEN has four current sources to control the LED current which connected to LED1, LED2, LED3, LED4 pins. The AP2071AEN supports five operation modes (Charge, Flash, Torch, Bypass torch and Discharge).

(4) When the VOUT reaches 0.2V, EDLC will be charged with setting current which set by CHAR[1:0] bits. with a maximum inductor peak current which is set by CLIMIT[2:0] bits. (6) When the VOUT is in the range of (VIN-0.1V) ~ (VIN*120%), the EDLC is changed by PFM control. (7) When the VOUT is more than 120% of VIN (VOUT > VIN*120%), the EDLC is charged by PWM control.

[AP2071AEN] MS1607-E-00 - 11 - 2014/03 ■ Torching Sequence A battery can drive LEDs which is connected to the LED1~4 pins through the VOUT pin. The LED current (torching current) can be set in the range from 10mA to 140mA by a register setting. The AP2071AEN will be in torch mode by setting TORCH bit to “1” after setting the EN pin to “H” if the CHARGE pin is “H” or CHAR bit is “1”. LEDs can be driven when the VOUT voltage reaches the voltage which is set by VSET[2:0] bits. The stable VOUT voltage is determined by input voltage (VIN), VOUT setting voltage (VSET) and LED VF. Formula (1): In the case of VSET > VF + 0.5V > VIN*1.07 VOUT = VF + 0.5V Formula (2): In the case of VSET > VIN*1.07 > VF + 0.5V VOUT = VIN *1.07 Formula (3): In the case of VF > VSET → LED cannot be driven. Set appropriate VOUT voltage for LEDs in consideration of VF value of LED.

The EDLC can be discharged to 2.5V or GND selected by resister setting. Discharge mode has priority to any other operation modes (flash, torch and charge). When setting the AP2071AEN to discharge mode during charge or LED driving modes, the AP2071AEN exits charge or LED driving mode forcibly.
