DATA SHEET AAT3140 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications General Description Features The AAT3140 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 produces current levels up to 30mA on each of its four current source outputs to drive various arrangements of LEDs from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. Outputs 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 CP) make the AAT3140 ideally suited for small battery-powered applications. •VIN Range: 2.7V to 5.5V • Tri-Mode 1X, 1.5X, and 2X Charge Pump for Maximum Efficiency and VF Coverage • Drives Low-VF and High-VF Type LEDs • Up to Four 30mA Outputs • 32-Position Logarithmic Scale with Digital Control • Low Noise Constant Frequency Operation • 1MHz Switching Frequency • AutoBias Technology • Small Application Circuit • Regulated Output Current • Automatic Soft Start • No Inductors •IQ < 1µA in Shutdown • 12-Pin TSOPJW Package The AAT3140 is equipped with Skyworks' unique AutoBias™ technology which allows individual LEDs to be powered either by charge pump or battery input, determined internally and automatically to maximize the power efficiency even with a large difference in LED forward voltage.

To maximize power conversion efficiency, an internal sensing circuit monitors the voltage required on each constant current source output and sets the load switch and charge pump modes based on the input battery voltage and the current source output voltage. As the battery discharges over time, the AAT3140 charge pump is enabled when any of the four current source outputs nears dropout. The charge pump initially starts in 1.5X mode. If the charge pump output drops enough for any current source output to become close to dropout, the charge pump will automatically transition to 2X mode. Each of the four current source outputs is independently switched between the battery input (1X) or the charge pump output (1.5X or 2X), depending on the voltage at the current source output. Since the LED-to-LED forward voltage (VF) can vary as much as 1V, this function significantly enhances overall device efficiency when the battery input voltage level is greater than the voltage required at any current source output. 10 The AAT3140 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 charge pump output capacitor (CCP). The four constant current outputs (D1 to D4) drive four individual LEDs with a maximum current of 30mA each. The EN/SET S2Cwire serial interface enables the AAT3140 and sets the current source magnitudes.

In this manner, 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 AAT3140 is 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 output current of the AAT3140 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 individual current level settings are each approximately 1dB apart for settings above Code 8 (see Figure 1). The current level settings below Code 8 are more than 1dB apart and serve the needs for transmissive displays and other low-current applications. S2Cwire Serial Interface The current source output magnitude is controlled by the EN/SET pin, using Skyworks' S2Cwire interface. The interface records rising edges of the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 32 individual current level settings with Code 1 reserved for no current. Once EN/SET has been held in the logic high state for time TLAT, the programmed current is seen at the current source outputs and the internal data register is reset to 0. For subsequent current level programming, the number of rising edges corresponding to the desired code must be entered on the EN/SET pin.

The internal data register is reset to 0 during shutdown. effect, simply connect the unused constant current source outputs to ground. LED Selection The AAT3140 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 AAT3140 soft-start feature prevents noise transient effects associated with inrush currents during start-up of the charge pump circuit. The AAT3140 is specifically intended for driving white LEDs. However, the device design will allow the AAT3140 to drive most types of LEDs with forward voltage specifications ranging from 1.0V 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 AAT3140 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. Outputs can be paralleled to drive high-current LEDs without complication. Termination of Unused Current Source Outputs If any outputs (D1 to D4) are not used, they should be terminated by connecting the respective unused output directly to ground. This is required to assure correct charge pump mode operation. If a given unused output is not terminated to ground, it will appear to the respective output’s feedback control as an infinite impedance load and the unused constant current source will be set for a maximum voltage. Although no current flows from the unused current source, the voltage sensed at that node could force the charge pump control to activate the charge pump when it is not necessary. To prevent this 12 Device Switching Noise Performance Power Efficiency and Device Evaluation 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 AAT3140, it is very difficult to measure efficiency in terms of a percent value comparing input power over output power. Since the AAT3140 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.

Depending upon the case of VIN being greater than the specific voltage seen across the loads on D1 through D4, the device will operate in load switch mode. If the voltage seen on the constant current source output is less than VIN, then the device will operate in 1.5X or 2X charge pump mode. Each of these modes will yield different efficiency values. Refer to the following two sections for explanations of each operational mode. Load Switch Mode Efficiency The AAT3140 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: η= POUT PIN The expression to define the ideal efficiency (h) can be rewritten as: P V ∙I V η = OUT = OUT OUT = OUT PIN VIN ∙ IOUT VIN -or- η(%) = 100 VOUT VIN Charge Pump Section Efficiency The AAT3140 contains a fractional charge pump which will boost the input supply voltage when 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 or two 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 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 the 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, 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 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 AAT3140. 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 non-polarized, they are not prone to incorrect connection damage.

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 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 AAT3140 applications. 14 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 AAT3140 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 CP pin. Charge Pump Compatibility The four-output AAT3140 is pin-compatible with the AAT3123, AAT3132, and AAT3113 in TSOPJW-12 packages. The AAT3140 offers an improved overall efficiency, wider operating range, and the ability to drive high-VF type LEDs at full current. The AAT3140 is well suited for battery-powered applications using single-cell lithiumion/polymer batteries and 3-series connected dry cells (3.6V).
