DATA SHEET AAT3131 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X Fractional Charge Pump for White LED Applications General Description Features The AAT3131 is a low noise, constant frequency charge pump DC/DC converter that uses a dual mode load switch (1X) and fractional (1.5X) conversion to maximize efficiency for white LED applications. The device can be used to produce current levels up to 20mA in three of its outputs and 30mA in one of its outputs to drive LEDs from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. Outputs may be operated individually or paralleled for driving higher-current LEDs. A low external parts count (two 1µF flying capacitors and two small 1µF capacitors at VIN and OUT) makes the AAT3131 ideally suited for small battery-powered applications. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Skyworks' Simple Serial Control™ (S2Cwire™) interface is used to enable, disable, and set the LED drive current in two groups: the three 20mA outputs and the single 30mA output with multiple level logarithmic scales. The AAT3131 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. A high charge pump switching frequency enables the use of very small external capacitors. A low-current shutdown feature disconnects the load from VIN and reduces quiescent current to less than 1µA. The AAT3131 is available in a Pb-free 12-pin TSOPJW12 package and is rated over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

The fractional charge pump consists of a low dropout linear voltage regulator followed by a 1.5X charge pump with multiple current-source outputs. To maximize power conversion efficiency, an internal feedback control sensing circuit monitors the voltage required on the constant current source outputs. This control circuit then sets the load switch and charge pump functions based upon the input voltage level versus the output voltage level needed. This function significantly enhances overall device efficiency when the input voltage level is greater than the voltage required at the constant current source outputs. The 1X load switch/1.5X charge pump mode decision is based on the voltage levels sensed on either the D1 output or the D4 output, whichever is greater. Switchover between the 1.5X (charge pump) operating mode and the 1X (load switch) mode occurs automatically (as a function of input and output voltages) and does not require user intervention to maintain maximum efficiency. The AAT3131 requires only four external components: two 1µF ceramic capacitors for the charge pump flying capacitors (C1 and C2), one 1µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN), and one 0.33µF to 1µF ceramic output capacitor (COUT). The LDO/1.5X charge pump output is converted into three (D1 to D3) constant current outputs to drive three individual LEDs with a maximum current of 20mA each, and one (D4) constant current output with a Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • Phone [781] 376-3000 • Fax [781] 376-3100 • [email protected] • www.skyworksinc.com 202136A • Skyworks Proprietary Information • Products and Product Information are Subject to Change Without Notice. • July 5, 2012 7 DATA SHEET AAT3131 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X Fractional Charge Pump for White LED Applications maximum current of 30mA. The current source output magnitude is controlled by the EN/SET serial data interface. The interface records rising edges of the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 32 addresses corresponding to individual current level settings. The 32 addresses are divided such that outputs D1 to D3 can be controlled independently of output D4. For Addresses 1 to 8, 9 to 16, 17 to 24, and 25 to 32, outputs D1 to D3 start at 0mA and increase from 0.5mA to 20mA in three 8dB steps and three 2.5dB steps. Output D4 remains constant over these address ranges, which provides orthogonal control of the two channels. For Addresses 1 to 8, D4 is set to 0mA; for Addresses 9 to 16, D4 is set to 1mA; for Addresses 17 to 24, D4 is set to 15mA; and for Addresses 25 to 32, D4 is set to 30mA. This is summarized in Table 1 and Figure 1.

With each EN/SET pulse, the output current changes to the next setting in the address decoding. To change settings to the previous address decoding, 31 EN/SET clock pulses are required. The counter can be clocked at speeds up to 1MHz, so that intermediate states are not visible. The first rising edge of EN/SET enables the IC and initially sets the output LED currents to 0mA. Additional clocks are required to set the desired current level. Once the final clock cycle is input for the desired brightness level, the EN/SET pin is held high to maintain the device output current at the programmed level.

Using a logarithmic scale, LED brightness appears linear with each increasing code count. Because the outputs D1 to D4 are true independent constant current sources, the voltage observed on any single given output will be determined by the actual forward voltage (VF) for the LED being driven. Since the output current of the AAT3131 is programmable through its S2Cwire interface, no PWM (pulse width modulation) or additional control circuitry are needed to control LED brightness. This feature greatly reduces the burden on a microcontroller or system IC to manage LED or display brightness, allowing the user to “set it and forget it.” Furthermore, with its high-speed serial interface (1MHz data rate), the output current of the AAT3131 can be changed successively to brighten or dim LEDs in smooth transitions (e.g., to fade out) or in abrupt steps, giving the user complete programmability and real-time control of LED brightness. EN/SET Serial Interface The current source output magnitude is controlled by the EN/SET serial data interface. The interface records rising edges of the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 32 individual current level settings. The modulo 32 interface wraps states back to State 1 after the 32nd clock, so that the previous state is achieved by clocking the EN/ SET pin 31 times. The counter can be clocked at speeds up to 1MHz, so that intermediate states are not visible. The first rising edge of EN/SET enables the IC and initially sets the output LED current to 0dB. Once the final clock cycle is input for the desired brightness level, the EN/SET pin is held high to maintain the device output current at the programmed level. The device is disabled 500µs after the EN/SET pin transitions to a logic low state. The EN/SET timing is designed to accommodate a wide range of data rates. After the first rising edge of EN/SET, the charge pump is enabled and reaches full capacity after the soft-start time (TSS). During the softstart time, multiple clock pulses may be entered on the EN/SET pin to set the final output current level with a single burst of clocks. Alternatively, the EN/SET clock pulses may be entered one at a time to gradually increase the LED brightness over any desired time period. A constant current is sourced as long as EN/SET remains in a logic high state. The current source outputs are switched off after EN/SET has remained in a low state for at least the TOFF timeout period. LED Selection The AAT3131 is specifically intended for driving white LEDs. However, the device design will allow the AAT3131 to drive most types of LEDs with forward voltage specifications ranging from 2.0V to 4.3V. LED applications may include main and sub-LCD display backlighting, camera photo-flash applications, color (RGB) LEDs, infrared (IR) diodes for remotes, and other loads benefiting from a controlled output current generated from a varying input voltage. Since the D1 to D4 output current sources are matched with negligible voltage dependence, the LED brightness will be matched regardless of the specific LED forward voltage (VF) levels. In some instances (e.g., in high luminous output applications such as photo flash), it may be necessary to drive high-VF type LEDs. The low dropout current sources in the AAT3131 makes it capable of driving LEDs with forward voltages as high as 4.3V at full current from an input supply as low as 3.0V. Outputs can be paralleled to drive high-current LEDs without complication.

Back-injected noise appearing on the input pin of the charge pump is 20mV peak-to-peak, typically ten times less than inductor-based DC/DC boost converter white LED backlight solutions. The AAT3131 soft-start feature prevents noise transient effects associated with inrush currents during start-up of the charge pump circuit. The AAT3131 load switch mode is operational at all times and functions alone to enhance device power conversion efficiency when VIN is greater than voltage across the load connected to the constant current source outputs. When in load switch mode, the voltage conversion efficiency is defined as output power divided by input power: Power Efficiency and Device Evaluation The expression to define the ideal efficiency (h) can be rewritten as: The charge pump efficiency discussion in the following sections only accounts for efficiency of the charge pump section itself. Due to the unique circuit architecture and design of the AAT3131, it is very difficult to measure efficiency in terms of a percent value comparing input power over output power. Since the AAT3131 outputs are pure constant current sources and typically drive individual loads, it is difficult to measure the output voltage for a given output (D1 to D4) to derive an overall output power measurement. For any given application, white LED forward voltage levels can differ, yet the output drive current will be maintained as a constant. This makes quantifying output power a difficult task when taken in the context of comparing to other white LED driver circuit topologies. A better way to quantify total device efficiency is to observe the total input power to the device for a given LED current drive level. The best white LED driver for a given application should be based on trade-offs of size, external component count, reliability, operating range, and total energy usage...not just % efficiency. The AAT3131 efficiency may be quantified under very specific conditions and is dependent upon the input voltage versus the output voltage seen across the loads applied to outputs D1 through D4 for a given constant current setting. Depending upon the case of VIN being greater than the specific voltage seen across the load on D1 (or D4), the device will operate in load switch mode. If VIN is less than the voltage required on the constant current source, the device will operate in 1.5X charge pump mode. Each of these two modes will yield different efficiency values. Refer to the following two sections for explanations for each operational mode. 10 η= η= POUT PIN POUT VOUT ∙ IOUT VOUT = = PIN VIN ∙ IOUT VIN -or- η(%) = 100 VOUT VIN Charge Pump Section Efficiency The AAT3131 contains a fractional charge pump which will boost the input supply voltage in the event that VIN is less than the voltage required on the constant current source outputs. The efficiency (h) can be simply defined as a linear voltage regulator with an effective output voltage that is equal to one and one half times the input voltage. Efficiency (h) for an ideal 1.5X charge pump can typically be expressed as the output power divided by the input power. η= POUT PIN In addition, with an ideal 1.5X charge pump, the output current may be expressed as 2/3 of the input current. The expression to define the ideal efficiency (h) can be rewritten as: η= POUT VOUT ∙ IOUT V = = OUT PIN VIN ∙ 1.5IOUT 1.5VIN -or- η(%) = 100 VOUT 1.5VIN Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • Phone [781] 376-3000 • Fax [781] 376-3100 • [email protected] • www.skyworksinc.com 202136A • Skyworks Proprietary Information • Products and Product Information are Subject to Change Without Notice. • July 5, 2012 DATA SHEET AAT3131 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X Fractional Charge Pump for White LED Applications For a charge pump with an output of 5V and a nominal input of 3.5V, the theoretical efficiency is 95%. Due to internal switching losses and IC quiescent current consumption, the actual efficiency can be measured at 93%. These figures are in close agreement for output load conditions from 1mA to 100mA. Efficiency will decrease as load current drops below 0.05mA, or when level of VIN approaches VOUT. Refer to the Typical Characteristics section of this datasheet for measured plots of efficiency versus input voltage and output load current for the given charge pump output voltage options. Capacitor Selection Careful selection of the four external capacitors CIN, C1, C2, 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 100mW. A value of 1µF for all four capacitors is a good starting point when choosing capacitors. If the LED current sources are only programmed for light current levels, then the capacitor size may be decreased. Capacitor Characteristics Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use with the AAT3131. 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. Equivalent Series Resistance 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 have tight tolerance and are stable over temperature. Large capacitor values are typically composed of X7R, X5R, Z5U, or Y5V dielectric materials. Large ceramic capacitors, greater than 2.2µF, are often available in low-cost Y5V and Z5U dielectrics, but capacitors greater than 1µF are usually not required for AAT3131 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. These larger devices can improve circuit transient response when compared to an equal value capacitor in a smaller package size. Thermal Protection The AAT3131 has a thermal protection circuit that will shut down the internal LDO and charge pump if the die temperature rises above the thermal limit, as is the case during a short-circuit of the OUT pin. Driving Multiple LEDs, White LED Display Module Backlights, and Individual LEDs Connected in Parallel The AAT3131 D1 to D4 outputs are true constant current sources capable of driving up to 20mA (D1 to D3) or 30mA (D4) each over the operation input voltage range. Since these outputs are true constant current sources, they may be connected in parallel to drive a single power output. Any combination of outputs (D1 to D4) may be connected in parallel. The maximum total output current is a sum of how many current sources are parallel connected. This feature is particularly useful to power premanufactured display modules which are pre-wired with white LED backlights connected in a parallel circuit configuration. Any combination of outputs may be connected in parallel to drive groups of LEDs. The AAT3131 internal current source reference circuit bases feedback from current sensed on the D1 and D4 outputs. For best operation, the only requirement for this type of application is the outputs D1 and D4 should always be connected to the load circuit.

Using feedback techniques, the current in D1 to D3 output currents sources are referenced to the current in the LED connected to D1. Current source output D4 is its own reference. If all LEDs are of similar type, the diodes will be matched in current, maintaining uniform LED brightness despite variations in manufacturer, production, etc. For example, when driving independent RGB LEDs, the green and blue type LEDs typically require a high VF to operate (e.g., 3.7V), while the red LED needs a low forward voltage (e.g., 2V). By connecting the green and blue diodes to outputs D1 to D3 and the red diodes to D4, good control and uniformity in brightness are maintained despite the 2V difference in the diode forward voltages. The AAT3131 determines if the 1.5X charge pump circuit is needed based on the voltage on D1 and D4, whichever is higher. If adequate voltage is available to drive the higher voltage LED (of output D1 or D4) without the charge pump running, the IC automatically switches into load switch (1X) mode to maximize efficiency. However, if the diodes are dramatically different in type comprising a mix of high-VF type and low-VF-type LEDs, the AAT3131 has the capability to optimally and simultaneously drive up to four LEDs of one type and up to two LEDs of another type. This feature can be useful for driving different color LEDs; driving both display backlight and photo-flash LEDs; or for driving main-LCD and subLCD display LED backlights from a single charge pump IC. VIN Similarly, if a 4V photo-flash LED array is connected to outputs D1 through D3 (with the outputs shorted together) and two 3.3V sub-LCD display backlight LEDs are connected to output D4, then the AAT3131 can optimally drive each set of LEDs at the programmed current level (see Figure 2).

Ballast resistors between the LED cathodes and ground are recommended for balancing the forward voltage differences. The ballast resistor value may be approximated by the following equation: RB = VSOURCE - VF IF Figure 2: AAT3131 Driving Two Groups of Paralleled White LEDs (e.g., main LCD and sub-LCD backlights). 12 Skyworks Solutions, Inc. • Phone [781] 376-3000 • Fax [781] 376-3100 • [email protected] • www.skyworksinc.com 202136A • Skyworks Proprietary Information • Products and Product Information are Subject to Change Without Notice. • July 5, 2012 DATA SHEET AAT3131 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X Fractional Charge Pump for White LED Applications Ordering Information Package Marking1 Part Number (Tape and Reel)2 TSOPJW-12 KBXYY AAT3131ITP-T1 Skyworks Green™ products are compliant with all applicable legislation and are halogen-free.
