Flash/Torch LED5 and LED6 Operation The flash/torch LEDs
(LED5 and LED6) brightness and on/off can be controlled using
digital input at ENF pin. ENF accepts one-wire serial pulse input
to enable the A8530 and to set up to 11 dimming levels, from
100 mA (the default 100% level) down to 5 mA.
When the ENF pin is initially pulled up from shutdown, after a
soft-start (if the IC is not yet soft-started using the ENM pin),
the current for LED5 and LED6 is, by default, programmed to
100 mA, corresponding to 100% of flash/torch brightness. Each
subsequent pulse reduces the LED current by 10 mA, and the
10th pulse reduces the current by 5 mA. The next pulse then
restores to 100 mA (full) output current per channel. Figure 6
shows the timing diagram for ENF.
Absolute Level Operation Some applications require dimming
to a specific level, regardless of the present level of dimming.
For example, if the IC should dim to 30%, this can be done with
7 steps, as shown in figure 6, irrespective of the dimming level
in effect. This can be achieved by pulling corresponding ENx

shown in figure 6 (7 for 30% dimming). If the pulses are applied
within 2 to 3 ms, the display flicker is not visible. The procedure
is shown in figure 7.
Shutdown
When the ENM pin is pulled low for 0.5 ms or longer, the display
backlight channels are shut off and dimming is reset to 100%
upon the next ENM going high edge. When the ENF pin is
pulled low for 0.5 ms or longer, the brightness of the flash/torch
channels is reset to 100 mA upon the next ENF going high edge.
When both ENM and ENF are pulled low for 0.5 ms or longer,
the A8530 enters the shutdown mode.
