CSP package
A tri-mode negative charge pump provides power to
backlight LEDs with improved efficiency over conventional charge pump topologies. All eight backlight LED
current sinks are programmable up to 27.9mA. LEDs
may be set individually or in groups for various arrays of
backlight or keypad lighting applications. High frequency
PWM dimming for both Main and Sub display backlighting is provided and is compliant to Content Adaptive
Brightness Control (CABC) specifications with a PWM
frequency up to 100 kHz.
The ambient light control features automatic sensor
calibration and 50Hz/60Hz noise rejection for accurate
brightness adjustment without processor intervention.
All AAT2870 functions are programmed using an industry
standard bi-directional I2C interface. This interface can
enable, disable, and set the backlight current to one of
32 levels (5 bits) for the backlight. Backlight current
matching is better than ±3% for uniform display/subdisplay brightness.
The AAT2870 also contains four high-performance lownoise, low dropout (LDO) linear regulators. Each regulator
starts up with a default 1.2V and is adjustable by programming through the I2C interface. LDOA can supply up
to 300mA, while LDOB, C and D can source up to 150mA
to a system load.
Applications
• Camera Enabled Mobile Devices
• Digital Still Cameras
• Smart Phones
The AAT2870 is available in a Pb-free, space-saving
3.1mm x 2.6mm, 30 ball CSP package rated over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

AAT2870
LED Backlight Driver and Multiple LDO Lighting Management Unit
Functional Description
The AAT2870 is a highly integrated display backlight,
keypad and auxiliary LED driver with four LDO regulators
to power system functions. A negative charge pump
delivers improved power conversion efficiency over conventional charge pump devices and drives backlight
LEDs from a 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage source. The
AAT2870 may be configured to drive any combination of
8 backlight LEDs either individually or in any desired
grouping. The AAT2870 is compatible with CABC systems by providing a filtered PWM input for external
brightness adjustment based on display content or
ambient light conditions. The regulated bias supply output supports ambient light sensors and photo diodes.
The integrated ADC polls the ambient light conditions
and is readable through the I2C interface. The ambient
light control can also be configured to adjust programmed LED current automatically for changing ambient lighting conditions.
In addition to LED backlighting functions, four independent LDO regulators are provided. The LDO regulators
produce programmable output voltages between 1.2V
and 3.3V. The bi-directional I2C interface provides simple
and easy programming of all LED backlight functions,
ambient light sensor control and LDO regulator output
voltage levels.
input and LED forward voltages while maintaining high
efficiency.
The charge pump is controlled by the voltage across the
LED current sinks when programmed for a desired constant current. When any one of the active backlight current sink channels drop below the transition threshold,
the charge pump goes to the next higher operating
mode (from 1x to 1.5x or from 1.5x to 2x mode) to
maintain sufficient LED voltage for a given constant LED
current. AAT2870 continuously monitors the LED forward voltages and uses the input voltage to determine
when to reduce the charge pump operating mode for
better efficiency. There is also a mode-transition hysteresis to maintain charge pump stability between modes.
LED Current Control
The backlight LED constant current levels are controlled
through the I2C interface. The backlight LED current can
be set between 0.45mA and 27.9mA in approximately
1mA steps. The LED channels may be programmed and
enabled globally, in groups of Main, Sub or individually.
Backlight fade-in/out and ambient light control functions
are configured through the I2C interface. See the
“Backlight Current Programming” section for more information.
Ambient Light Sensor Control
LED Drivers
The AAT2870 drives any combination of eight backlight
LEDs up to 27.9mA each. The LEDs are independently
driven by a negative charge pump circuit to ensure that
constant current is maintained for all possible LED forward current and voltage levels over the specified input
battery voltage range. The charge pump automatically
switches from 1x, 1.5x, or 2x modes to maintain the
programmed LED current while minimizing power loss
and maximizing power conversion efficiency. To further
improve efficiency only the channels that reach the dropout condition are independently switched to the charge
pump supply. The charge pump section operates with a
high 1.3MHz switching frequency allowing the use of
small external 0.22μF1 ceramic capacitors. By virtue of
the negative charge pump, LED anodes are connected
directly to the input power source. The programmed forward current for each LED is controlled through individual constant current sinks, allowing for programmable
current control with high accuracy over a wide range of
The AAT2870 ambient light sensor control circuit provides an interface and control of an external ambient
light sensor module or photo diode. The system incorporates a programmable voltage sensor bias supply
(SBIAS) which may be configured to output 3.0V, 2.8V,
2.7V or 2.6V and may source up to 30mA. The ALS input
has a programmable gain amplifier and ADC which
stores one of 16 levels to an internal register to reflect
the current calibrated ambient light level. The stored
light level data may be read through the bi-directional
I2C interface to relay the ambient light information to the
system display driver. The ALS circuit may also be configured to directly adjust a preprogrammed backlight
LED brightness level based on current ambient light
conditions. The ADC continuously filters out the 50Hz
and 60Hz flicker noise from indoor lighting, eliminating
the need for a large capacitor at the output pin of the
ambient light sensor. To save power and improve system
efficiency, the ALC circuit features manual polling and
automatic polling with programmable polling times.

LED Backlight Driver and Multiple LDO Lighting Management Unit
Under polling control, the SBIAS regulator, ambient light
sensor and ADC circuit are disabled and only enabled for
a short period to sample, read and store the present
ambient light value in the ALS data register.
LDO Regulators
The AAT2870 family includes four low dropout (LDO) linear regulators. These regulators are powered from the
battery and produce a fixed output voltage set through
the I2C interface. LDOA is designed to provide load currents up to 300mA and LDOB, C and D and intended for
loads up to 150mA each. The output voltage of each LDO
can be set to one of 16 levels between 1.2V and 3.3V.
The LDO regulators are turned on/off and programmed
through the I2C interface with a default voltage level of
1.2V. Additionally, the I2C interface allows the LDO regulators to be enabled independently for any combination
of output voltages.
The LDO regulators require a small 2.2μF (LDOB/C/D)
and a 4.7μF (LDOA) ceramic output capacitor for maximized performance and stability. If improved load transient response is required, larger value capacitors can be
used without stability degradation.
I2C Serial Interface Protocol
The AAT2870 uses an I2C serial interface to set backlight
LED current and LDO on/off and output voltage, as well
as other housekeeping functions. The AAT2870 acts only
as a slave device.
The I2C protocol uses two open-drain inputs; SDA (serial
data line) and SCL (serial clock line). Both inputs require
an external pull up resistor, typically to the input voltage.
The I2C protocol is bidirectional. The timing diagram in
Figure 1 shows the typical I2C interface protocol.
Devices on the I2C bus can be either master or slave
devices. Both master and slave devices can send and
receive data over the bus, with the difference being that
the master device controls all communication on the
bus. The I2C communications begins by the master making a START condition. Next the master transmits the
7-bit device address and a Read/Write bit. Each slave
device on the bus has a unique address. The AAT2870's
7-bit device address is 0x60.

tion setup time (tSU_STO), by an SDA low-to-high transition. The master does not issue an ACK and releases SCL
and SDA.
START and STOP conditions are always generated by the
master. Prior to initiating a START, both the SDA and SCL
pins are inactive and are pulled high through external
pull-up resistors. As shown in Figure 2, a START condition
occurs when the master pulls the SDA line low and, after
the start condition hold time (tHT_STA), the master strobes
the SCL line low. A START condition acts as a signal to all
devices on the bus that the device initiating the START
sequence is active and will be communicating.
Transferring Data
Addresses and data are sent with the most significant bit
transmitted first and the least significant bit transmitted
last as shown in Figures 3 and 4. After each address or
data transmission, the slave device transmits an ACK
signal to indicate that it has received the transmission.
The ACK signal is generated by the slave after the master releases the SDA data line by driving SDA low.
A STOP condition, as shown in Figure 2, occurs when SCL
changes from low to high followed after the STOP condi-

Writing to Slave Device
Fade In/Out Programming
When the Read/Write bit is set to 0 and the address transmitted by the master matches the device address, the
slave device transmits an Acknowledge (ACK) signal to
indicate that it is ready to receive data. Next, the master
transmits the 8-bit register address, and the slave device
transmits an ACK to indicate that it received the register
address. Next, the master transmits the 8-bit data word,
and again the slave device transmits an ACK indicating
that it received the data. This process continues until the
master is finished writing to the slave device at which
time the master generates a STOP condition. A typical
AAT2870 I2C write transmission is shown in Figure 5.
The fade in/out function allows main and sub backlight
channels to fade between two programmed current levels in a smooth, logarithmic progression. By default, fade
in/out is enabled (bits EN_FM, EN_FS, INIT_FM and
INIT_FS have a default value of 1).
Reading from Slave Device
When the Read/Write bit is set to 1 and the address
transmitted by the master matches the device address,
the slave device transmits an Acknowledge (ACK) signal
to indicate that it is ready to receive data. Next, the
slave device transmits the 8-bit data word, the master
reads the data byte and transmits an ACK to indicate
that it received the byte, and generates a STOP condition. An example of AAT2870 I2C read transmission is
shown in Figure 6.
Serial Programmed Registers
The AAT2870 has thirty-nine registers listed in Table 1:
• Fourteen for Main/Sub backlight enable, control and
configuration of fade in/out function
• Twenty-two for ambient light sensor control and configuration
• Three for LDOs control and configuration
Backlight Current Programming
All eight backlight channels are disabled by default and
are assigned as Main backlight. They can easily be programmed in different Main and Sub group configurations
by using BLn (03h to 0Ah) registers.
Each channel needs to be enabled by setting EN_CHn=1
from EN_CHn (00h) register. The default setting is
19.8mA per channel.
The fade in/out function for Main backlight can be disabled by writing EN_FM=0 in FM (0Ch) register and for
Sub backlight by writing EN_FS=0 in FS (0Dh) register.
The fade function can be interrupted by writing the EN_
FM and/or EN_FS bits to 0 while a fade event is in progress. When this happens, the current in the channels
will abruptly change to the ceiling value programmed in
BLM[4:0] (main channels) or BLS[4:0] (sub channels)
registers.
The duration of the fade in/out sequences can be programmed for Main backlight by setting FMT<1:0> in FM
(0Ch) register and for Sub backlight by FST<1:0> in FS
(0Dh) register. The default fade in/out timing is 1s.
Fade In Function
At initial start up, all Main and Sub backlight channels
will turn on with default value of 19.8mA per channel
unless fade in has been specifically programmed. The
lower current (floor) is programmed using FLRM[3:0]
bits from FLR register (for main channels) and bits
FLRS[3:0] for sub channels. The default is 0.45mA per
channel. The higher current (ceiling) is programmed
using bits BLM[4:0] from BLM (01h) register for main
channels and bits BLS[4:0] from BLS (02h) register for
sub channels.
Fade in sequence for Main backlight is initiated when
INIT_FM is changed from 0 to 1 in FM (0Ch) register and
for Sub backlight when INIT_FS is changed from 0 to 1
in FS (0Dh) register.
Fade Out Function
The fade out sequence for Main backlight is initiated
when INIT_FM is changed from 1 to 0 in FM (0Ch) register and for Sub backlight when INIT_FS is changed
from 1 to 0 in FS (0Dh) register.
The floor current will persist until Main/Sub backlight
channels are disabled by writing EN_CHn=0 to EN_CHn
(00h) register.

AAT2870
LED Backlight Driver and Multiple LDO Lighting Management Unit
Applications Information
Ambient Light Sensor (ALS)
An ambient-light sensor is used to measure the brightness of the surrounding environment. Based on the
brightness level, the AAT2870 can adjust the backlight
LED current, leading to longer battery life and comfortable viewing with less eyestrain. The AAT2870 works with
a wide range of sensors presently on the market and can
perform the gain-adjustment function to correct the partto-part output variation of an ambient-light sensor.
Some ambient-light sensors provide logarithmic or squareroot outputs. If an ambient-light sensor with linear output
is used while a logarithmic output is desired, the AAT2870
can convert a linear ALS output to logarithmic output by
setting SNSR = 0 of register ALS_CFG0(0Eh) and setting
ALSOUT = 1 as shown in Figure 15.
Ambient-Light Sensor Evaluation
Determine the Range of Light Brightness
that Reaches Ambient Light Sensor (ALS)
Some typical values of the luminance in different environments are given below as reference points:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Moonlight: 0.2 to 1 Lux
Candlelight: 5 Lux
Streetlight: 10 Lux
Office light: 300 to 1000 Lux

Ambient-Light Sensor Selection
The types of ambient-light sensors on the market include
photodiodes, photo-transistors, and photo-ICs; all these
types of sensors generate current or voltage output signals. Ambient light sensors with current outputs require
a resistor placed at the output to convert the current into
voltage. Figure 24 shows the current output of an ambient-light sensor, which is linear or logarithmic to the light
brightness in Lux.

Ambient Light Sensor
Gain Resistor Selection
When an ambient-light sensor with current output is
selected, a load resistor is used to convert the output
current into an output voltage. The AAT2870 provides a
set of four internal resistor pairs that are listed in Figure
14. An external resistor can be used if none of the integrated resistor pairs fit the application requirement.
Example 1: The light luminance on the ambient-light
sensor is from 0 Lux to 10,000 Lux. If the output current
of an ambient-light sensor is 4μA per 100 Lux, then the
resistor required to cover the whole luminance range can
be calculated as follows:
Low-gain resistor =
1.6V Full-Scale
4μA · 10000 Lux
100 Lux
= 4kΩ
The chosen resistor set is 4kΩ, 16kΩ.
Ambient Light Sensor Offset Adjustment
Any leakage current present will cause an offset at the
output of the ambient light sensor, leading to inaccurate
measurement of the light brightness. However, this offset
can be corrected by programming bits OS_ADJ<3:0>
from register ALS_CFG1 (0Fh) of the AAT2870. The four
allocated bits provide offset correction from -8LSB to
+7LSB, as shown in Figure 15.
34
The DC offset of the ambient-light-sensor output can be
measured with the AAT2870. The AAT2870 is powered
up and enabled with a power supply or a battery; the
ambient-light-sensor is then enabled by writing EN_
ALS=1 to the ALS_CFG0 (0Eh) register (see Figure 14).
The voltage bias for the ambient light sensor needs to be
enabled as well by writing EN_SBIAS=1 to the ALS_CFG1
(0Fh) register (see Figure 15). The test mode measurement of the ambient light sensor offset is commenced
when writing OS_TM=1 to the ALS_CFG1 (0Fh) register.
Example 2: The procedure to determine the ambientlight-sensor offset is explained below, assuming a resistor set of 4kΩ, 16kΩ is used:
• Connect the SBIAS pin of AAT2870 to the input voltage pin of an ambient-light sensor, and connect the
AMB_IN pin of AAT2870 to the output pin of the ambient-light sensor.
• The BH1600FVC ambient light sensor by Rohm is used
with the AAT2870 demo board (Figures 32 and 33).
Depending on how much light goes through the light
pipe and reaches the ambient-light sensor, the GC1 and
GC2 setting can be determined. If the range of light is
up to 10,000 Lux, the L-Gain mode should be chosen
by connecting GC1 to GND and GC2 to SBIAS. If the
range of light is up to 3,000 Lux or lower, then the
H-Gain mode should be chosen by connecting GC1 to
SBIAS and GC2 to GND. The difference between H-Gain
mode and L-Gain mode is the amount of output current
from the ambient-light sensor (see Table 6).

• The AAT2870’s ambient light sensor amplifier is set to
auto gain mode. The part will automatically choose the
4kΩ low-gain resistor when the ambient light is bright
and the 16kΩ high-gain resistor when the ambient
light is dim for better accuracy.
• To power up the AAT2870, set enable pin EN = High
and BC_M = High.
• Start ambient light sensor offset measurement by
writing the following commands to the AAT2870:
1.
2.
3.
Write AAT2870 7-bit I2C address: 0x60 (first byte
writes as C0h, binary 11000000).
Enable all backlight channels by writing to register
EN_CHn (00h) data FFh.
Choose linear ambient light sensor gain mode and
internal gain resistor pair by writing to register
ALS_CFG0 (0Eh) data 21h.
4.
Enable SBIAS in offset test mode by writing to register ALS_CFG1 (0Fh) data 81h (Note: During normal operation, offset test-mode should be turned off
by setting bit OS_TM=0 in ALS_CFG1 (0Fh) register
as shown in Figure 15).
• Read the AMB (11h) register for the ambient-light
sensor output offset. Although the AMB register has
eight bits, only bits AMB[3:0] should be captured; bit
AMB[4] is a sign (+ or -) bit. Refer to Figure 17 for a
complete list of readings.
• Convert the 5-bit offset to a 4-bit offset according to
Table 3. The 4-bit offset with opposite sign needs to
be written to OS_ADJ<3:0> from ALS_CFG1 (0Fh)
register during normal operation. Note: If the 5-bit
offset reading is F8h (binary 11111000), then the output offset of the ambient-light sensor is -1LSB. It can
be converted to 1111 in 4 bits. In order to adjust this
ambient-light sensor offset, a +1 LSB offset needs to
be added, by writing 0001 to OS_ADJ<3:0> of the
ALS_CFG1 (0Fh) register during normal operation. For
complete list of offset adjustments see Table 2.

Ambient Light Sensor Gain Adjustment
Ambient Light Sensor Voltage Bias
For the majority of ambient-light sensors, the part-topart variation of the output current is guaranteed to be
±20% at best. More expensive ambient-light sensors
can guarantee ±10% output accuracy. Tolerances in light
pipes and ambient light sensors limit the output current
accuracy to only ±35%. AAT2870 allows the customer to
choose an inexpensive ambient-light sensor while offering a ±10% part-to-part variation by providing an automatic calibrating gain adjustment from -50% to +43.75%
for any off-the-shelf ambient-light sensor.
The external ambient light sensor is powered by the
SBIAS output, which is a programmable voltage linear
regulator that provides up to 30mA for the sensor bias.
The SBIAS output voltage may be programmed and
enabled by both the ambient light sensor control register
ALS_CFG0 (Figure 14) and by the ambient light sensor
voltage bias control register ALS_CFG1 (Figure 15). The
SBIAS voltage can be selected from 2.6V up to 3V by
writing bits SB<1:0> of the ALS_CFG1 (0Fh) register.
Figure 27 shows the ideal ambient-light sensor output
versus light brightness after gain-adjustment calibration.
Current (mA)
Part 1
Ideal
The SBIAS voltage is determined based on the full-scale
negative gain adjustment necessary to achieve optimal
performance. The relationship between the AMB_IN voltage input full scale without adjustment (Ideal Full-Scale),
the gain adjustment (Gain_ADJ), and the adjusted AMB_
IN scale (Adjusted Full-Scale) can be expressed in the
following equation:
Adjusted Full-Scale =
Part 2
Light Intensity (Lux)
Figure 27: Ambient-Light Sensor Output Current
with Gain Variation.
The maximum AMB_IN input voltage is 2.4V with -37.5%
gain adjustment. For optimal performance the minimum
output voltage of an ambient-light sensor needs to be
higher than the adjusted AMB_IN input voltage with an
extra 6.25% headroom, or 2.55V according to Table 4.
Ideal Full-Scale
1 + Gain_ADJ
The minimum saturated output voltage of the BH1600FVC
ambient light sensor is 2.6V with 3.0V supply voltage;
therefore, a SBIAS voltage of 3V should be selected for
this particular case.
If the calculated AMB_IN maximum voltage exceeds 3V
an external voltage source is recommended.

Backlight LED Current Settings
for Different Brightness Readings
Ambient Light Sensor Brightness Gain Mode
The main recipient of the light emitted by all visiblespectrum LEDs is the human eye. It responds to light
luminance in a non-linear logarithmic way. The sensitivity of the human eye decreases rapidly as the luminance
of the source increases. The LED current needs to
change logarithmically in relation to the light brightness
in order for the light brightness to be perceived as linear
by the human eye.
LED Current (mA)
100
The AAT2870 offers two bits for programming the ambient light sensor brightness polling time. There are four
different polling times: 0.5s, 1s, 1.5s and 2s selected by
writing PTIME<1:0> bits of the ALS_CFG2 (10h) register.

Figure 28: Backlight LED Current
vs. Light Brightness.
The AAT2870 has sixteen default LED current setting
levels programmed in ALSn (from 12h to 21h) registers
These sixteen current level settings follow the logarithmic trend shown in Figure 28. A linear ambient light
sensor output and a linear output brightness are set by
using the default setting of SNSR=0 and ALSOUT=0 of
the ALS_CFG0 (0Eh) register. For each light brightness
sampling, one of the current levels corresponding to the
ambient light reading will be selected to control the
backlight LED current.
If the desired current settings are different than the
default, the user can change them by writing to ALSn
(12h through 21h) registers.
38
For the manual gain mode, all light brightness measurements are completed with the low gain resistor as set by
GM_SEL=1 of the ALS_CFG0 (0Eh) register.

AAT2870 allows automatic and manual modes for measurement of the ambient light sensor brightness. The
automatic gain mode is selected by default value GM_
SEL=0 in ALS_CFG0 (0Eh) register. For better accuracy
during automatic mode the AAT2870 will choose low gain
resistor when the ambient light is bright and high gain
resistor when the ambient light is dim.
If an automatic ambient light sensor polling mode is
selected by default PMODE=0 of ALS_CFG2 (10h) register, AAT2870 will periodically update the information
about the surrounding brightness at every elapsed time
interval. Refer to Figure 26 for A/D conversion timing
diagram. Manual ambient sensor polling mode can also
be selected by writing PMODE=1 to ALS_CFG2 (10h)
register.
Sub Group Response to
Ambient Light Sensor Output Reading
All Sub group channels can be programmed to respond
to the brightness of the surrounding environment independent of the Main group. The Sub group response is
enabled by programming bit EN_SUB=1 from the SUB_
CTRL (23h) register. The high and low thresholds for the
Sub group can be set by writing to the SUB_SET (22h)
register. In the SUB_SET (22h) register bits HIGH[3:0]
are dedicated for programming the high threshold and
bits LOW[3:0] for the low threshold. Depending on the
actual application (auxiliary display, keypad, etc.) the
Sub group response can be programmed in two ways:

1. Dimming response: set by SUB_RESP=0 (default)
from SUB_CTRL (23h) register.
If the ambient light sensor reading indicates the surrounding environment is brighter than the high
threshold AMB[3:0] > HIGH[3:0] then the Sub backlight steps down to preset floor level (default 0.45mA
per channel).
If the ambient light sensor reading indicates the surrounding environment is dimmer than the low threshold AMB[3:0] < LOW[3:0] then the Sub backlight
brightness is stepped up to preset ceiling level (default
19.8mA per channel).
This mode is recommended for keypad backlighting
applications.
2. Brightening response: set by SUB_RESP=1 from
SUB_CTRL (23h) register.
If the ambient light sensor reading indicates the surrounding environment is brighter than the high
threshold (AMB[3:0] > HIGH[3:0]) then the Sub
backlight brightness is stepped up to preset ceiling
level.
If the ambient light sensor reading indicates the surrounding environment is dimmer than the low threshold AMB[3:0] < LOW[3:0] then the Sub backlight
brightness is stepped down to preset floor level.
This mode is recommended for auxiliary display backlighting applications.
When the Sub group response to ambient light sensor
output read data is enabled (EN_SUB=1 from the SUB_
CTRL register), then EN_FS and INIT_FS bits in the FS
(0Dh) register are masked and the Sub group will stop
responding to any fade in/out programming.

AAT2870
LED Backlight Driver and Multiple LDO Lighting Management Unit
Content Adjustable
Brightness Control (CABC)
If the selected CF capacitor value is smaller than 5nF,
then the ripple appearing on the backlight PWM current
will increase. For external BC_M PWM signals equal or
lower than 10% duty cycles, the bottom level of the
ripple can cause the internal comparators to trip and as
a result, the part will switch for a few clock periods to a
maximum duty cycle of 97.5%.
The CABC response to an external PWM signal is set by
the filter capacitor CF connected to the FLTR pin. In order
to select the filter cap CF properly, three conditions need
to be known:
1.
2.
PWM signal frequency at the BC_M pin
The desired rate of change of the backlight current
from one level to another
The minimum PWM duty cycle
If the selected filter cap CF value is large, the ripple on
the backlight PWM current will be reduced but it may not
be possible to achieve a fast change (TF) of the backlight
current level or the desired duty cycle.
The capacitor (CF) connected to the FLTR pin has an
internal resistor RF =97.5K in parallel to ground. The
filter capacitor CF pin is charged with a 20μA current
source that is modulated with the BC_M duty cycle.
Refer to Figures 30 and 31 for circuit and timing diagrams. The voltage generated on the FLTR pin (VFLTR) is
compared to a linearly ramping 1.95V voltage source
(VRAMP), which creates an internal 82kHz PWM signal
(fPWM)
If the BC_M pin is brought low after being high, CF will
discharge through the internal 97.5KΩ resistor. As FLTR
pin voltage decreases, the internal PWM duty cycle will
start dropping as well until it reaches approximately
10%, at which point AAT2870 will be latched into maximum duty cycle mode. Now CF will be charged, and the
duty cycle will increase until it reaches maximum duty
cycle. If at anytime BC_M is pulled up, the maximum
duty cycle mode latch will be released, and normal PWM
operation will resume.
3.
The value for CF can be calculated with the following
equation:
If the CABC function is not desired it can be disabled by
changing bit CABC from 0 to 1 in ALS_CFG2 (10h) register. AAT2870 will operate with maximum duty cycle of
97.5% and CF capacitor is not necessary to be connected
to the FLTR pin.

Negative Charge Pump
LED Selection
The AAT2870's charge pump engine produces a negative
voltage VNEG from -0.5V to -3V. The backlight current sinks
can be referenced to either ground or VNEG depending on
the VF of the white LED diodes. The charge pump output
capacitor CNEG is connected between VIN and VNEG.
The AAT2870 is specifically intended for driving white
LEDs in TFT-LCD backlighting applications. However, the
device design will allow the AAT2870 to drive most types
of LEDs with forward voltage specifications ranging from
2.0V to 4.7V. LED applications may include mixed
arrangements for display backlighting, color (RGB) LEDs,
infrared (IR) diodes or any other load needing a constant
current source generated from a varying input voltage.
Since the BL1 to BL8 constant current sinks are matched
with negligible voltage dependence, the constant current
channels will be matched regardless of the specific LED
forward voltage (VF) levels.

Device Switching Noise Performance
The AAT2870 operates at a fixed frequency of 1.3MHz to
control noise and limit harmonics that can interfere with
the RF operation of cellular telephone handsets or other
communication devices. Back-injected noise appearing
on the input pin of the charge pump is typically lower
than inductor-based DC/DC boost converter white LED

backlight solutions. The AAT2870 soft-start feature prevents noise transient effects associated with in-rush currents during the start up of the charge pump circuit.
Power Efficiency and Device Evaluation
Charge-pump efficiency discussion in the following section
accounts only for the efficiency of the charge pump itself.
Due to the unique circuit architecture and design of the
AAT2870, it is very difficult to measure efficiency in terms
of a percent value comparing input power over output
power due to varying conditions created by external LED
forward voltage levels at any given drive current.
Since the AAT2870 outputs are pure constant current
sinks and typically drive individual loads, it is difficult to
measure the output voltage for a given output (BL1 to
BL8) 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 AAT2870 efficiency may be quantified under very
specific conditions and is dependent upon the input voltage versus the output voltage seen across the loads
applied through current sinks BL1 to BL8 for a given
constant current setting. Depending on the combination
of VIN and voltages sensed at the current sinks, the
device will operate in 1X mode. When any one of the
voltages sensed at the current sinks nears dropout, the
device will operate in 1.5x or 2x charge pump mode.
Each of these modes will yield different efficiency values.
One should refer to the following two sections for explanations for each operational mode.
Charge Pump Capacitor Selection
Careful selection of the four external capacitors CIN, C1,
C2, CNEG is important because they will affect turn on
time, output ripple and transient performance. Optimum
performance will be obtained when low ESR (<100m)
ceramic capacitors are used. In general, low ESR may be
defined as less than 100m. A capacitor value of 0.22μF1
for C1 and C2 capacitors is recommended. CIN and CNEG
are recommended to be 2.2μF or higher. If the constant
current sinks 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
AAT2870. 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)
ESR is an important characteristic to consider when
selecting a capacitor. ESR is a resistance internal to a
capacitor, which 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 0.1F are typically made
from NPO or COG materials. NPO and COG materials
typically have tight tolerance and are stable over temperature. Larger capacitor values are typically composed
of X7R, X5R, Z5U or Y5V dielectric materials. Large
ceramic capacitors, typically greater than 2.2F are often
available in low cost X7R and X5R dielectrics.
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.
