AAT3159 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications
General Description
Features
The AAT3159 is a low noise, constant frequency charge
pump DC/DC converter that uses a tri-mode load switch
(1X), fractional (1.5X), and doubling (2X) conversion to
maximize efficiency for white LED applications. The
device is capable of driving up to four channels of LEDs
at up to 40mA per channel from a 2.7V to 5.5V input
supply voltage. The current sinks may be operated individually or in parallel for driving higher-current LEDs. A
low external parts count (two 1µF flying capacitors [C1
and C2] and two small 1µF capacitors [CIN and COUT])
makes this part ideally suited for small battery-powered
applications.

Skyworks' patented single-wire Simple Serial Control
(S2Cwire™) serial digital interface is used to enable, disable, and set the current for each LED with 16 levels
from a maximum of 40mA down to 50µA. The maximum
current level is programmed via an external resistor. To
save power, low-current mode supply current will be as
low as 50µA.
Each output of the AAT3159 is equipped with built- in
protection for VOUT short-circuit operation and auto-disable functionality for LED open-circuit conditions. Built-in
soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current
during start-up. A low-current shutdown feature disconnects the load from IN and reduces quiescent current to
less than 1µA.

Functional Description
The AAT3159 is a tri-mode load switch (1X) and high
efficiency (1.5X or 2X) 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
AAT3159 charge pump is enabled when any of the four
current sink inputs nears dropout. The charge pump
initially starts in 1.5X mode. If the charge pump output
droops enough for any current source output to become
close to dropout, the charge pump will automatically
transition to 2X mode. The AAT3159 requires only four
external components: two 1µF ceramic capacitors for
the charge pump flying capacitors (C1 and C2), one 1µF
8
SET
ceramic input capacitor (CIN), and one 0.33µF to 1µF
ceramic output capacitor (COUT).
The four constant current sink inputs (D1 to D4) can
drive four individual LEDs with a maximum current of
40mA each. The unused sink inputs must be connected
to VOUT; otherwise, the part will operate only in 2X
charge pump mode. The S2Cwire serial interface enables
the AAT3159 and sets the LED current magnitudes.
Constant Current Output Level Settings
The LED current magnitude is controlled by Skyworks'
S2Cwire serial digital interface. The maximum current is
programmed by an external resistor at the SET pin.
Since the current sinks are programmable, no PWM
(pulse width modulation) or additional control circuitry is
needed to control LED brightness. This feature greatly

DATA SHEET
AAT3159
AAT3159 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications
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 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. The code settings for the AAT3159 are listed
in Table 1.
The S2Cwire serial interface has flexible timing. Data can
be clocked-in at speeds greater than 1MHz, or much
slower, such as 15kHz. After data is submitted, EN/SET
is held high to latch the data. Once EN/SET has been held
in the logic high state longer than TLAT (500µs), the programmed current becomes active. For subsequent current level programming, the number of rising edges corresponding to the desired code must be entered on the
EN/SET pin.
When EN/SET is held logic low longer than TOFF (500µs),
the AAT3159 enters into shutdown mode and draws less
than 1µA from IN. The internal data register is reset to
zero during shutdown.
S2Cwire Serial Interface
The current level magnitude is controlled by Skyworks'
Simple Serial Control (S2Cwire) serial interface. The
interface records rising edges of the EN/SET pin and
decodes them into 16 different states. The 16 current
level settings available are indicated in Table 1.

Auto-Disable Feature
The AAT3159 is equipped with an auto-disable feature
for each LED channel. After the IC is enabled and started
up, a test current of 100µA (typical) is forced through
each sink channel. The channel will be disabled if the
voltage of that particular current sink (DX pin) does not
drop to a specific threshold. This feature is very convenient for disabling an unused channel or during an LED
fail short event.
Thermal Protection
The AAT3159 has built-in 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
short-circuit event with the OUT pin.

Determining the Maximum LED Current
Level
The value of RSET determines the maximum LED current
level. In the typical application, selecting RSET = 26.1kW
results in 20mA/channel LED current. From this reference point, the RSET value required for other current
levels can be calculated as:
RSET =
20mA · 26.1kΩ
ILED(MAX)
A visual representation of the maximum LED current per
channel versus RSET value is shown in Figure 1. Since the
AAT3159’s LED current control circuits were optimzed for
full-scale current settings higher than 15mA, RSET values
smaller than or equal to 33.2kW are recommended.
Brightness Control Using the SET Pin
Additional methods of brightness control can be achieved
with the SET pin. For example, using an additional resistor to connect the SET pin with a digital output provides
a HI/LO control. Figure 2 illustrates a configuration of
the SET pin utilizing two resistors.

ID (mA)
Although the AAT3159 is specifically intended for driving
white LEDs, the device can also be used to drive most
types of LEDs with forward voltage specifications ranging from 2.0V to 4.7V. LED applications may include
main and sub-LCD display backlighting, camera photoflash 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 input 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 AAT3159 make it capable of
driving LEDs with forward voltages as high as 4.7V at
full current from an input supply as low as 3.0V. Outputs
can be paralleled to drive high-current LEDs without
complication.

Due to the very low 1X mode quiescent current, the
input current nearly equals the total output current
delivered to the LEDs. Further, the low resistance bypass
switch introduces a negligible voltage drop from input to
output.
The AAT3159 further maintains optimized performance
and efficiency by detecting when the input voltage is not
sufficient to sustain the LED bias current. The device automatically switches to 1.5X mode when the input voltage
drops too low in relation to the LED forward voltages.
In 1.5X mode, the output voltage can be boosted to 1.5X
the input voltage. The 1.5X conversion ratio introduces a
corresponding 0.5X increase in input current. For ideal
conversion, the 1.5X mode efficiency is given by:

Device Power Efficiency
The AAT3159’s power conversion efficiency depends on
the charge pump mode of operation. By definition,
device efficiency is expressed as the output power delivered to the LEDs divided by the total input power
consumed.

When the input voltage is sufficiently greater than the
LED forward voltages, 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. By simplifying the conditions such that the
LEDs have uniform VF, the power conversion efficiency
can be approximated by:
η=

Similarly, when the input falls further, such that 1.5X
mode can no longer sustain the LED bias currents, the
AAT3159 will automatically switch to 2X mode. In 2X
mode, the output voltage can be boosted to 2X the input
voltage. The 2X conversion ratio introduces a corresponding 1X increase in input current. For ideal conversion, the 2X mode efficiency is given by:

AAT3159
AAT3159 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications
Device Switching Noise Performance
Equivalent Series Resistance
The AAT3159 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 AAT3159 soft-start feature prevents noise
transient effects associated with inrush currents during
start-up of the charge pump circuit.
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.
Capacitor Selection
Ceramic capacitors less than 0.1µF are typically made
from NPO or C0G materials. NPO and C0G 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 2.2µF,
are often available in low-cost Y5V and Z5U dielectrics,
but capacitors greater than 1µF are typically not required
for AAT3159 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.
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
AAT3159. 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.

Ceramic Capacitor Materials
PCB Layout
To achieve adequate electrical and thermal performance,
careful attention must be given to the printed circuit
board (PCB) layout of the AAT3159. Figures 5 and 6
illustrate an example PCB layout for the AAT3159 (evaluation board). The flying capacitors (C1 and C2), input
capacitor (C4), and output capacitor (C3) should be connected as close as possible to the IC. In addition to the
external passive components being placed as close as
possible to the IC, all traces connecting the AAT3159
should be as short and wide as possible to minimize path
resistance and potential coupling.
