The device utilizes a single current sink to regulate the LED current by controlling the output voltage. The wide voltage range is suitable for single cell Li-ion / Li-polymer battery applications. The internal current sink is programmed by an external resistor to a current from 10mA to 31mA. The minimum output voltage must be greater than the input voltage. The AAT1403 is capable of driving up to 45V with 10 series connected LEDs with currents up to 31mA. The LED dimming method is through either the S2Cwire interface with 32 steps or varied duty cycle of the PWM signal with frequency up to 100kHz after the maximum LED current is set by S2Cwire. The AAT1403 is enabled by EN/SET pulled to high after power on with a certain delay time. Internal soft start circuitry limits the input inrush current and eliminates output voltage overshoot. When ENSET is pulled low the AAT1403 enters a low-power, non-switching state. The total input current during shutdown is less than 1μA. An external diode limits VOUT to the level of VIN during shutdown. The diode consumes a small amount of additional input current depending on the OVP resistor divider value. The over-voltage protection function is designed to protect the boost converter during the fault of the open circuit of the LED string. The over-temperature function is targeted to protect the converter if an over-temperature fault occurs. The AAT1403 will recover to normal operation automatically when the OVP or OTP fault is removed. Over-Temperature Protection Thermal protection disables the AAT1403 when internal dissipation becomes excessive. Thermal protection disables the power MOSFET. The junction over-temperature threshold is 155°C with 15°C of temperature hysteresis. The output voltage automatically recovers when the over-temperature fault condition is removed.

An over-voltage event is defined as a condition where the voltage on the OVP pin exceeds the over-voltage protection threshold (VOVP-T). When VOVP has reached the threshold limit, the converter stops switching and the output voltage decays. Switching resumes when the lower hysteresis limit of VOVP is reached, thereby maintaining an average output voltage between the upper and lower OVP thresholds. The LED current magnitude can be controlled by the EN/ SET pin using the S2Cwire interface. The interface records rising edges of the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 32 individual current level settings. Code 1 is full scale (maximum LED current), and Code 32 is 2% of the full scale. The modulo 32 interface wraps states back to state 1 after the 32nd clock. The counter can be clocked at speeds up to 1MHz, so intermediate states are not visible. The first rising edge of EN/SET enables the IC and initially sets the output LED current to full scale after 500µs tLAT. Once the final clock cycle is input for the desired brightness level, the EN/SET pin should be held high to maintain the device output current at the programmed level. The device is disabled 500μs after the EN/SET pin enters a logic low state. The EN/SET timing is designed to accommodate a wide range of data rates from 20kHz to 1MHz. LED Current Setting The maximum LED current is determined by the RSET resistor value. With a fixed 1.2V voltage on RSET, the LED maximum current is a linear ratio to the current flowing through RSET. ILED = VSET · 258 RSET After the first rising edge of EN/SET, the boost converter is enabled and reaches full capacity after the soft-start time. Exact counts of clock pulses for the desired current level should be entered on the EN/SET pin with a single burst of clocks. The counter refreshes each time a new clock input to the EN/SET pin is detected. A constant current is maintained as long as EN/SET remains in a logic high state. To save power, the boost converter is switched off after EN/SET has remained in the low state for at least the tOFF timeout period as shown in Figure 1. The LED dimming is controlled via one of two options, either using the 32-step S2Cwire single-wire interface via the EN/SET pin or PWM control with varied duty cycle up to 100kHz frequency. 32 S2Cwire rising-edge steps set the LED current from 100% to 2% percentage of the maximum LED current value when PWM control is disabled by pulling the PWM pin high. S2Cwire can also be used to set maximum LED current along with a PWM signal to dim the LED lighting from 100% to 1% of duty cycle.

Filtered PWM Dimming The AAT1403 provides a PWM input as an additional means of providing dimming control for CABC applications. The LED current reduces percentage linearly as the duty cycle decreasing. Frequencies of up to 100kHz can be applied. To avoid output flicker and noise, the input control PWM frequency is filtered by the low pass filter composed of the error amplifier and the external compensation capacitor.

Loop compensation requires matching values for CCOM, COUT, ILED, and VOUT: COUT ILED < CCOM 30 · 10-6 · VOUT The AAT1403 can drive up to 10 white LEDs with forward voltages up to 4V each. In a worst case with VF of 4V, a COUT value of 0.1µF, and LED maximum current of 20mA, the value of CCOM should be higher than 6.0nF. CCOM > COUT · 30 · VOUT 0.1 · 30 · 40 (nF) = (nF) = 6.0nF ILED 20 A higher value for CCOM lengthens the soft startup time. The relationship between CCOM and startup time is almost linear, with startup time x 105 magnification of CCOM; thus 56nF CCOM leads to a soft startup time of 5.6ms. Table 3 gives several examples of minimum CCOM values at different COUT and ILED and the step-up converter's operation stable. Values of 56nF for CCOM and 0.1µF for COUT are suitable in most cases.

The suitable inductance range for the AAT1403 is 4.7µH to 22µH. Higher inductance lowers the step-up converter's RMS current value. Together with lower DCR value of the inductor, it makes the total inductor power loss become much lower. Considering inductor size and cost, 10µH inductance is most suitable. Figure 4 illustrates AAT1403 efficiency at different inductance with similar DCR value. Efficiency (%) ILED (mA) Multi-layer ceramic (MLC) capacitors provide small size and adequate capacitance, low parasitic equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL), and are well suited for use as input, output and compensation capacitors in the AAT1403 step-up converter LED driver application. MLC capacitors of type X7R or X5R are recommended to ensure good capacitance stability over the full operating temperature range. A 4.7µF/6.3V input capacitor is recommended and a 0.1µF/50V output capacitor is suitable as noted above. Table 4 lists some recommended capacitors for use with the AAT1403.

Larger DCR leads to larger conduction loss and decreases total efficiency. The inductor conduction loss can be estimated as shown in the equation: PL_LOSS = I2L_RMS · DCR = Efficiency (%) IIN = VOUT · ILED VIN · η Inductor peak-to-peak current ripple: IL_PP = VIN · (VOUT - VIN) VOUT · L · f Inductor peak current: 1 · (I2L_MAX + I2L_MIN + IL_MAX · IL_MIN) · DCR 3 IL_MAX and IL_MIN are the inductor peak current and minimum current.

The OVP threshold is 1.2V. For 6 white LEDs with VF up to 4V, the resistor divider values for R1 and R2 can be calculated by: Figure 5: Inductor DCR Effects on Total Efficiency with 10µH at 3.6V VIN. Inductor saturation current is also a key parameter in selecting an inductor. For the step-up converter, the peak inductor current is the DC input current plus half the inductor peak-to-peak current ripple. Manufacturer Sumida Murata Coilcraft Coiltronics R1 = VOUT - 1 · R2 VOVP_TH Higher resistor divider values decrease the power loss on the resistors. The total resistor value for 40V VOUT should be less than 4MΩ for better noise immunity. Values of 2.2MΩ for resistor R1 and 68kΩ for resistor R2 are recommended.

A low VF Schottky diode is recommended. The diode voltage rating should be higher than the OVP voltage. For an AAT1403 driving 10 white LEDs with up to 4V forward voltage, the diode voltage rating should be higher than 40V. Select a diode with DC rated current equal to the input current to allow an adequate margin for safe use. Table 6 gives some examples of recommended rectifier diodes for use with the AAT1403. Manufacturer Diodes TSC Printed Circuit Board Layout Recommendations For best performance of the AAT1403, the following guidelines should be followed when designing the PCB layout: 1. Make the power trace as short and wide as possible, including the input/output power lines and switching node, etc. 2. Make sure the ground bump connected to the printed circuit board with large copper area for better thermal dissipation. 3. Put the input and output capacitor close to the IC as close as possible to get the best filter result.
