AAT3177A
High Current, High Efficiency Charge Pump with Auto-Timer
General Description
Features
The AAT3177A is a high output current, high efficiency,
low noise, low profile charge pump DC/DC converter.
The device is ideal for multi-functional LED photo-flash
applications where solution cost, size, and efficiency are
critical.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The AAT3177A is capable of driving a regulated output
current up to 800mA. Output current levels can be easily programmed in 16 steps through Skyworks' Simple
Serial Control™ (S2Cwire™) interface controlled by a
single microcontroller GPIO line. This allows smooth
transitions and flexible adjustment of brightness in flash
or other lighting modes. The maximum output current
can also be set with an external RSET resistor.
•
•
•
•
•
The tri-mode (1X/1.5X/2X) operation of the internal
charge pump offers excellent power efficiency throughout the output current range for both flash and movie
modes. Combined with a low external parts count (two
1μF flying capacitors and two small bypass capacitors at
VIN and OUT), the AAT3177A is ideally suited for small
battery-powered applications.

The AAT3177A has a thermal management system to
protect the device in the event of a short-circuit condition at the output pin. Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current during start-up. The
shutdown feature disconnects the load from VIN and
reduces quiescent current to less than 1μA.

Functional Description
The AAT3177A is a high efficiency, low noise, dual stage
tri-mode 1X/1.5X/2X charge pump device intended for
photo-flash LED applications. The device requires only
four external components: two ceramic capacitors for
the charge pump flying capacitors, one ceramic capacitor
for CIN, and one ceramic capacitor for COUT.
The charge pump delivers regulated load currents up to
800mA. The dual stage charge pump section contains
soft-start circuitry to prohibit excessive inrush current
during start-up. System efficiency is maximized with a
tri-mode, dual stage charge pump topology. The internal
clock oscillator at 1MHz allows the use of small external
components.
The tri-mode charge pump operation further optimizes
power conversion efficiency. Depending upon the variance of load current (at different modes), input voltage,
and nominal LED forward voltage, the charge pump will
operate in a 1X, 1.5X, or 2X mode to generate the output
voltage required to power the load for a given controlled
8
constant current. This results in significant power savings over voltage doubling architectures, especially when
the LEDs are also operated at lower current levels in
movie, viewing, or flashlight modes.
S2Cwire Serial Interface
The AAT3177A utilizes Skyworks’ single wire S2Cwire
interface to enable/disable the charge pump and adjust
the output current at 16 current levels. Each code defines
the output current to be a percentage of the maximum
current set by the resistor at the RSET pin (see Table 1).
The S2Cwire interface records rising edges of the EN/SET
pin and decodes them into 16 individual current level
settings with Code 1 reserved for maximum current.
Once EN/SET has been held in the logic high state for
time TLAT (500μs), the programmed current is seen at the
current source outputs and the internal data register is
reset to 0. For subsequent current level programming,
the number of rising edges corresponding to the desired
code must be applied on the EN/SET pin.

Table 1: Current Level Settings.
When EN/SET is held low for an amount of time longer
than TOFF (500μs), the AAT3177A enters into shutdown
mode and draws less than 1μA from VIN. Data and
address registers are reset to 0 during shutdown.
The flash timer is active for DATA values 1 through 41.
For lower current settings (DATA 5 through 16) the flash
timer is turned off to allow extended LED on time for
movie mode applications. When changing from high current (DATA = 1-4) to lower current (DATA = 5-16) the
timer will be ignored. When changing from low current
to high current the timer will be reset and restarted.
The charge pump will be reset during current level
changes to allow the system to operate in the most efficient mode.
Application Information
Selecting a Timer Capacitor for CT
The CT pin must be configured according to the desired
flash function1. There are two options: connect a small
valued capacitor or connect the pin to GND.
Configure the timer feature for the AAT3177A by connecting a small valued capacitor between the CT pin and
GND. The value of the capacitor will determine the timeout duration according to the following formula:
T = CT · 10
s
µF
As an example, the result of connecting a 0.1μF capacitor between the CT pin and GND will be a 1 second timeout duration. Operationally, when the AAT3177A is
enabled, it will automatically disable itself after 1 second. When using the auto-timer feature, select a CT
capacitor value according to the formula above.
To disable the auto-timer feature, connect the CT pin to
ground. The result will be a small bias current of approximately 3μA. A large valued pull-down resistor should not
be used for connecting the CT pin to GND. The CT pin can
be connected directly to GND. If a pull-down resistor is
preferred, it should be of low value (i.e., less than 10K).
The primary considerations for selecting the capacitor
type are leakage current and tolerance of the capacitor
value. The auto-timer duration is determined by charging and discharging the timing capacitor with a small
charging/discharging current of approximately 3μA.
Avoid leaky capacitor types as they will distort the timeout duration. Select the capacitor value’s tolerance
according to the desired time-out tolerance.
1. Flash Timer is enabled only for the four highest current level settings (DATA = 1, 2, 3, and 4).

High Current, High Efficiency Charge Pump with Auto-Timer
Real-Time Control of the CT Pin
Flash/Torch Control Using the RSET Pin
To achieve flash and torch mode control, the auto-timer
can be enabled or disabled in real-time. This can be done
by connecting a microcontroller or microprocessor GPIO
port to the CT pin.
An alternative method can be used for flash/torch control that eliminates the need to use the S2Cwire singlewire interface. By using any typical digital I/O port, an
additional enable can be created (see Figure 3).
To set up flash mode in real-time, enable the auto-timer
by tri-stating the GPIO port. Do not drive the port high. It
can only be set to high-impedance so that the CT capacitor can be charged and discharged by the AAT3177A.
The I/O port output configuration can be an open-drain
NMOS or open-drain PMOS, but not a push-pull type. The
control will always act as an active-low flash enable or,
equivalently, an active-high torch enable (see Table 2).
To set up torch mode in real-time, disable the autotimer by driving the GPIO port low so that the CT pin will
be pulled to GND through the GPIO port.

For an open-drain NMOS I/O port output configuration,
the line is pulled low to GND or left floating, according to
state. To calculate the appropriate R1 and R2 resistor
values, first calculate the R1 resistor value needed for the
desired torch level LED current:

If the I/O port must be configured as an open-drain PMOS

section of this datasheet.
Device Power Efficiency
The AAT3177A power conversion efficiency depends on
the charge pump mode. By definition, device efficiency
is expressed as the output power delivered to the LED
divided by the total input power consumed.
η=
POUT
PIN
When the input voltage is sufficiently greater than the
LED forward voltage, the device optimizes efficiency by
operating in 1X mode. In 1X mode, the device is working
as a bypass switch and passing the input supply directly
to the output. The power conversion efficiency can be
approximated by:
η=
VF · ILED VF
≈
VIN · IIN
VIN
Due to the very low 1X mode quiescent current, the
input current nearly equals the current delivered to the
LED. Further, the low-impedance bypass switch introduces negligible voltage drop from input to output.
The AAT3177A further maintains optimized performance
and efficiency by detecting when the input voltage is not
sufficient to sustain LED current. The device automatically switches to 1.5X mode when the input voltage
drops too low in relation to the LED forward voltage.
In 1.5X mode, the output voltage can be boosted to 3/2
the input voltage. The 3/2 conversion ratio introduces a
corresponding 1/2 increase in input current. For ideal
conversion, the 1.5X mode efficiency is given by:
η=
VF
VF · ILED
=
VIN · 1.5IIN 1.5 · VIN
Similarly, when the input falls further, such that 1.5X
mode can no longer sustain LED current, the device will
automatically switch to 2X mode. In 2X mode, the output voltage can be boosted to twice the input voltage.
The doubling conversion ratio introduces a corresponding doubling of the input current. For ideal conversion,
the 2X mode efficiency is given by:
η=
VF
VF · ILED
=
VIN · 2IIN
2 · VIN
LED Selection
The AAT3177A is designed to drive high-intensity white
LEDs. It is particularly suitable for LEDs with an operating forward voltage in the range of 4.2V to 1.5V.
The charge pump device can also drive other loads that
have similar characteristics to white LEDs. For various
load types, the AAT3177A provides a high-current, programmable ideal constant current source.

AAT3177A
High Current, High Efficiency Charge Pump with Auto-Timer
Capacitor Selection
Careful selection of the four external capacitors CIN, C1,
C2, and COUT is important because they will affect turn-on
time, output ripple, and transient performance. Optimum
performance will be obtained when low equivalent series
resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitors are used. In general, low ESR may be defined as less than 100m. A value
of 1μF for the flying capacitors is a good starting point
when choosing capacitors. If the LED current sinks are
only programmed for light current levels, then the
capacitor size may be decreased.
These larger devices can improve circuit transient
response when compared to an equal value capacitor in
a smaller package size.
Thermal Protection
The AAT3177A has a thermal protection circuit that will
shut down the charge pump if the die temperature rises
above the thermal limit, as is the case during a shortcircuit of the OUT pin.
PCB Layout
Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use with the
AAT3177A. Ceramic capacitors offer many advantages
over their tantalum and aluminum electrolytic counterparts. A ceramic capacitor typically has very low ESR, is
lowest cost, has a smaller PCB footprint, and is nonpolarized. Low ESR ceramic capacitors help maximize
charge pump transient response. Since ceramic capacitors are non-polarized, they are not prone to incorrect
connection damage.
To achieve adequate electrical and thermal performance,
careful attention must be given to the PCB layout. In the
worst-case operating condition, the chip must dissipate
considerable power at full load. Adequate heat-sinking
must be achieved to ensure intended operation.
Equivalent Series Resistance
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (JA) for the
package can be significantly reduced by following a
couple of important PCB design guidelines.
ESR is an important characteristic to consider when
selecting a capacitor. ESR is a resistance internal to a
capacitor that is caused by the leads, internal connections, size or area, material composition, and ambient
temperature. Capacitor ESR is typically measured in milliohms for ceramic capacitors and can range to more
than several ohms for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic
capacitors.
Ceramic Capacitor Materials
Ceramic capacitors less than 0.1μF are typically made
from NPO or C0G materials. NPO and C0G materials generally have tight tolerance and are very stable over temperature. Larger capacitor values are usually composed
of X7R, X5R, Z5U, or Y5V dielectric materials. Large
ceramic capacitors are often available in lower-cost
dielectrics, but capacitors greater than 4.7μF are not
typically required for AAT3177A applications.
Capacitor area is another contributor to ESR. Capacitors
that are physically large will have a lower ESR when
compared to an equivalent material smaller capacitor.

Figure 4 illustrates an example of an adequate PCB layout. The bottom of the package features an exposed
metal paddle. The exposed paddle acts, thermally, to
transfer heat from the chip and, electrically, as a ground
connection.
The PCB area directly underneath the package should be
plated so that the exposed paddle can be mated to the
top layer PCB copper during the re-flow process. This
area should also be connected to the top layer ground
pour when available. Further, multiple copper plated
thru-holes should be used to electrically and thermally
connect the top surface paddle area to additional ground
plane(s) and/or the bottom layer ground pour.
The chip ground is internally connected to both the paddle
and the GND pin. The GND pin conducts large currents
and it is important to minimize any differences in potential
that can result between the GND pin and exposed paddle.
It is good practice to connect the GND pin to the exposed
paddle area using a trace as shown in Figure 4.
The flying capacitors C1 and C2 should be connected
close to the chip. Trace length should be kept short to
minimize path resistance and potential coupling. The
input and output capacitors should also be placed as
close to the chip as possible.

Evaluation Board User Interface
The user interface for the AAT3177A evaluation board is
provided by 3 buttons and a couple of connection terminals. The board is operated by supplying external power
and pressing individual buttons or button combinations.
The table below indicates the function of each button or
button combination.
To power-on the evaluation board, connect a power supply
or battery to the DC- and DC+ terminals. Make the board’s
supply connection by positioning the J1 jumper to the ON
position. A red LED indicates that power is applied.
The evaluation board is made flexible so that the user
can disconnect the enable line from the microcontroller
and apply an external enable signal. By removing the
jumper from J2, an external enable signal can be applied
to the board. Apply the external enable signal to the ON
pin of the J2 terminal.
Figure 4: Example PCB Layout.
When applying an external enable signal, consideration
must be given to the voltage level. The externally
applied voltage cannot exceed the supply voltage that is
applied to the VIN pins of the device (i.e., DC+).
