Zusammenfassung:An asymmetric multiphase boost that provides flash functionality for display backlights. A backlight power management module for a display backlight may implement and control an asymmetric multiphase boost that includes two boost phases: a primary boost phase for typical display backlighting, and a secondary or flash boost phase that provides flash functionality via the display backlight when needed. The primary boost phase may be sized to provide high low-load efficiency, high inductance, and low switching frequency for normal display backlight operations. The flash boost phase may be sized for high current and peak power, low inductance, and high switching frequency for pulsed current applications. Via the asymmetric multiphase boost, the backlight power management module may, for example, be used to provide a camera flash function for front facing cameras.
