High Efficiency 1X/1.5X Charge Pump For White LED Applications
General Description
Features
The AAT3151B is a low noise, constant frequency charge
pump DC/DC converter that uses a dual mode load
switch (1X) and fractional (1.5X) charge pump conversion to maximize efficiency for white LED applications.
The AAT3151B is capable of driving four white LEDs at a
total of 120mA from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. The current
sinks may be operated individually or in parallel for driving higher-current LEDs. A low external parts count (two
1μF flying capacitors and two small 1μF capacitors at VIN
and VOUT) makes the AAT3151B ideally suited for small
battery-powered applications.

AnalogicTech’s AS2Cwire™ (Advanced Simple Serial
Control™) serial digital input is used to enable, disable,
and set current for each LED with a 16-level logarithmic
scale plus four low-current settings down to 50μA for
optimized efficiency, with a low housekeeping current of
only 50μA.
The charge pump output of the AAT3151B is equipped
with built-in protection for VOUT. Each current sink input
has short-circuit and auto-disable to guard against LED
failure conditions. Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents
excessive inrush current during start-up. A low-current
shutdown feature disconnects the load from VIN and
reduces quiescent current to less than 1μA.

Functional Description
The AAT3151B is a dual mode load switch (1X) and high
efficiency (1.5X) charge pump device intended for white
LED backlight applications. To maximize power conversion efficiency, an internal sensing circuit monitors the
voltage required on each constant current sink input and
sets the load switch and charge pump modes based on
the input battery voltage and the current sink input voltage. As the battery discharges over time, the AAT3151B
charge pump is enabled when any of the four current
sinks near dropout.
The AAT3151B 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 1μF ceramic charge pump output capacitor (COUT).
The AAT3151B constant current sinks can drive four individual LEDs with a maximum current of 30mA per channel. The AS2Cwire serial interface enables the AAT3151B
and sets the constant current sink magnitudes.
Constant Current Output Level Settings
The constant current level for the LED channels is set via
the AS2Cwire serial interface according to a logarithmic
scale. In this manner, LED brightness appears to change
linearly when the settings in the scale are traversed.
8
Because the inputs D1 to D4 are true independent constant current sinks, the voltage observed on any single
given input will be determined by the difference between
VOUT and the actual forward voltage (VF) of the LED being
driven.
Since the constant current levels for the AAT3151B are
programmable, 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.”
With its high-speed serial interface (>1MHz data rate),
the LED current drive 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.
For each Max Current scale, there are 16 current level
settings separated from one another by approximately
1dB. Code 1 is full-scale current and Code 15 is full-scale
current attenuated by roughly 14dB. Code 16 is reserved
as a “no current” setting (see Table 1).
The AAT3151B has an additional Low Current mode with
reduced quiescent current. This mode is especially useful
for low-current applications where a continuous, lowcurrent state is maintained. The reduction in quiescent
current significantly reduces the impact due to maintaining a continuous backlighting state.

held high for time TLAT. Address or data is differentiated
by the number of EN/SET rising edges. Since the data
registers are 4 bits each, the differentiating number of
pulses is 24 or 16, so that Address 1 is signified by 17
rising edges, Address 2 by 18 rising edges, and so forth.
Data is set to any number of rising edges between 1 and
including 16. A typical write protocol is a burst of EN/
SET rising edges, signifying a particular address, followed by a pause with EN/SET held high for the TLAT
timeout period, a burst of rising edges signifying data,
and a TLAT timeout for the data registers. Once an
address is set, then multiple writes to the corresponding
data register are allowed.
When EN/SET is held low for an amount of time greater
than TOFF, the AAT3151B enters shutdown mode and
draws less than 1μA from the supply. Address 1 is the
default address on the first rising edge after the
AAT3151B has been disabled. Whenever shutdown mode
is entered, all registers are reset to 1.

Max Current and Low Current Registers
Use the Max Current and Low Current registers to program constant current settings outside of the 20mA Max
scale. By default (without changing the Max Current register), the AAT3151B operates in the 20mA Max scale (see
Constant Current Programming Levels). For example, to
change to the 30mA Max scale, address the Max Current
register with 20 rising edges and pause for TLAT. Program
the Max Current register with 2 rising edges and pause for
TLAT. The part will next operate in the same Data row, but
for the setting found in the 30mA Max column. Next, to
change to a different setting on the 30mA Max scale,
address the D1-D4 register with 17 rising edges. Program
the new constant current level with 1-16 rising edges. The
part will update to the new Data setting according to the
Constant Current Programming Levels table.
The AAT3151B has a distinct Low Current mode with
ultra-low quiescent current. For drive currents of 2mA or
less, the part operates with significantly reduced quiescent current. This is particularly useful for applications
requiring an “always on” condition, such as transmissive
displays. As an example, to change to Low Current
mode, address the Max Current register with 20 rising
edges and pause for TLAT. Program the Max Current register with 4 rising edges and pause for TLAT. Address the

Table 4: Low Current Register Settings—
Address 5.
Disabled Current Sinks
Current sink inputs that are not used should be disabled.
To disable and properly terminate unused current sink
inputs, they must be tied to VOUT.
Properly terminating unused current sink inputs is
important to prevent the charge pump modes from prematurely activating. When properly terminated, only a
small sense current flows for each disabled channel. The
sense current for each disabled channel is 120μA.
The AAT3151B is also equipped with an “auto-disable”
feature to protect against an LED failure condition.
Thermal Protection
The AAT3151B 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 VOUT pin.

High Efficiency 1X/1.5X Charge Pump For White LED Applications
Applications Information
given application, white LED forward voltage levels can
differ, yet the load drive current will be maintained as a
constant.
LED Selection
The AAT3151B is specifically intended for driving white
LEDs. However, the device design will allow the AAT3151B
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 regulated output current generated from a
varying input voltage. Since the D1 to D4 constant current sinks 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 sinks
in the AAT3151B make 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. Current sinks can be paralleled to drive high-current LEDs without complication.
Device Switching Noise Performance
The AAT3151B operates at a fixed frequency of approximately 1MHz 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
20mV peak-to-peak, typically ten times less than inductor-based DC/DC boost converter white LED backlight
solutions. The AAT3151B soft-start feature prevents
noise transient effects associated with inrush currents
during start-up of the charge pump circuit.
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 AAT3151B 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 inputs D1 through D4 for a given constant
current setting. Depending on the combination of VIN
and voltages sensed at the current sinks, the device will
operate in load switch mode. When any one of the voltages sensed at the current sinks nears dropout, the
device will operate in 1.5X charge pump mode. Each of
these modes will yield different efficiency values. Refer
to the following two sections for explanations for each
operational mode.
Load Switch Mode Efficiency
The AAT3151B load switch mode is operational at all
times and functions alone to enhance device power conversion efficiency when VIN is greater than the voltage
across the load. When in load switch mode, the voltage

Power Efficiency and Device Evaluation
The charge pump efficiency discussion in the following
sections only accounts for the efficiency of the charge
pump section itself. Due to the unique circuit architecture and design of the AAT3151B, it is very difficult to
measure efficiency in terms of a percent value comparing input power over output power.
Since the AAT3151B inputs are pure constant current
sinks and typically drive individual loads, it is difficult to
measure the output voltage for a given input (D1 to D4)
to derive an overall output power measurement. For any

Charge Pump Section Efficiency
Capacitor Characteristics
The AAT3151B contains a fractional charge pump that
will boost the input supply voltage when VIN is less than
the voltage required on the constant current sink inputs.
The efficiency (η) can be simply defined as a linear voltage regulator with an effective output voltage that is
equal to one and one half or two times the input voltage.
Efficiency (η) for an ideal 1.5X charge pump can typically be expressed as the output power divided by the
input power.
Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended
over all other types of capacitors for use with the
AAT3151B. Ceramic capacitors offer many advantages
over their tantalum and aluminum electrolytic counterparts. A ceramic capacitor has very low ESR, is lowest
cost, has a smaller PCB footprint, and is non-polarized.
Low ESR ceramic capacitors help maximize charge pump
transient response. Since ceramic capacitors are nonpolarized, they are not prone to incorrect connection
damage.

In addition, with an ideal 1.5X charge pump, the output
current may be expressed as 2/3 of the input current.

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 100mΩ. A value
of 1μF for all four capacitors is a good starting point
when choosing capacitors. If the constant current sinks
are only programmed for light current levels, then the
capacitor size may be decreased.

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 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 (i.e., greater than 2.2μF) are often
available in low-cost Y5V and Z5U dielectrics, but capacitors greater than 1μF are not typically required for
AAT3151B 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.
