CAT3612HV2-T2

Overview

The CAT3612HV2-T2 is a dual-output LED driver IC designed for camera flash applications. It operates on a 3V to 5.5V supply and delivers up to 150mA per channel using an internal charge pump topology. The device features multi-step dimming control and integrates internal switches within a compact 12-TDFN package.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel output architecture supporting independent LED control
• Integrated charge pump topology for efficient voltage boosting
• Multi-step dimming capability for precise brightness regulation

Applications

• Camera flash systems in mobile devices
• Portable electronic imaging equipment
• Compact handheld camera modules

Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted to surplus or secondary market channels. Verify part authenticity and storage history carefully, as standard supply chains no longer support this item. Cross-reference datasheets for any potential obsolescence notices.

Selection Notes

Select this part only if legacy compatibility with existing camera flash designs is required. Note that it is end-of-life; new designs should consider alternative current drivers from the same family or newer generations with active production status to ensure long-term supply stability.

Part Context

Part of the CAT3612 series from onsemi, specifically engineered for high-efficiency LED driving in space-constrained portable electronics. The HV2 suffix indicates specific electrical characteristics optimized for flash applications within the broader CAT3612 product line.

Replacement Considerations

CAT3612HV2-GT2 is a verified substitute offering identical functionality but in tape-and-reel packaging instead of tube.
