AAT1409
Eight-Channel LED Backlight Driver
with Integrated Boost and High Frequency Direct PWM Dimming
General Description
Features
The AAT1409 is a highly integrated, high efficiency LED
backlight solution for notebook computers, monitors and
portable TVs. The device operates from DC inputs, cigarette lighter adapters, or multi-cell Li-ion batteries over
the 4.5V to 26V voltage range.
•
•
•
•
•
•
An integrated boost (step-up) converter provides up to
45V output for driving series LEDs. Eight precision current sinks are programmed up to 45mA per string
through one external RSET resistor, supporting up to 881
white LEDs at 360mA total output current.
LED strings may be disabled or operated in parallel for
increased drive capability. The boost output voltage is
set by the LED string with the highest voltage requirement, allowing a wide range of LED characteristics.
•
•
•
The PWM dimming range at 100Hz is up to 1,000:1.
The boost switching frequency is selectable (up to
1.3MHz) to allow optimum efficiency and the smallest
external L/C filtering components. Alternatively, the
device may be synchronized to an external clock.
Boost current mode control provides fast response to
line and load transients. Integrated Light-Load mode
ensures highest efficiency across the entire load range.
Fault tolerant circuitry extends system life by disabling
open LED strings. The unique high voltage current sinks
prevent damage resulting from shorted LEDs.
The AAT1409 is available in the Pb-free, thermally
enhanced 24-pin 3x4 TQFN package.

Functional Description
The AAT1409 is a highly integrated, high efficiency white
LED backlight solution for notebook computers, monitors
and portable TVs. The device operates from regulated
DC inputs, cigarette lighter adapters, and multi-cell
Li-ion batteries over a voltage range from 4.5V to 26V.
The integrated boost (step-up) converter provides up to
45V output to drive multiple strings of series LEDs. The
maximum number of LEDs is dependent upon the forward voltage of each LED. Eight precision current sinks
can provide constant current drive for up to 88 white
LEDs depending upon LED VF. The LED current is set by
a single external resistor up to 45mA per string for a
total output current capability of 360mA. The controller
derives output feedback from the channel with the lowest
current sink voltage while maintaining the programmed
current in each LED string. This ensures the lowest possible output voltage, highest efficiency and continuous
operation with mismatched LED strings.
RSET
The AAT1409 is designed for maximum flexibility. The LED
strings may be disabled or used in parallel for increased
current capability. Thus, the AAT1409 allows operation
with fewer than 8 LED strings with the maximum number
of LEDs per channel set by the LED VF and the output voltage of the boost converter. A lower number of LEDs can
also be used. Unused current sinks are disabled by tying
them to ground. The unique high voltage current sinks
support non-matching LED strings (LED quantity, type,
etc.). For high current applications, such as high-brightness LEDs, multiple current sinks may be connected in
parallel providing up to 360mA per LED string.
The AAT1409 supports a high input PWM frequency to
help eliminate potential audio emissions caused by harmonic/sub-harmonic resonance of the power stage. The
PWM dimming range is up to 1,000:1 (see Figure 1).
The output voltage is regulated by the string with the
highest voltage requirement, allowing a wide range of
LED characteristics. The boost switching frequency is

AAT1409
Eight-Channel LED Backlight Driver
with Integrated Boost and High Frequency Direct PWM Dimming
adjustable up to 1300kHz for optimum efficiency and the
smallest external filtering components. Alternatively, the
device may be synchronized to an external clock.
Current mode control provides fast response to line and
load transients. Integrated light load mode ensures
highest efficiency across the entire input voltage and load
range.
Fault tolerant circuitry extends system life by disabling
open LED strings. The high voltage current sinks maintain normal operation with non-matched strings while
also preventing damage due to shorted LEDs.
The AAT1409 is available in a Pb-free, thermally enhanced
24-pin 3x4mm TQFN package.
PWM Dimming
The AAT1409 provides direct PWM dimming. After initial
power-up or when EN is cycled, the device is enabled
with brightness (default) controlled by the PWM duty
cycle and the RSET resistor value.
The ultra-fast 1µs turn-on and turn-off time of the boost
regulator and current sinks ensures high performance
and excellent dimming range in applications requiring
high frequency PWM dimming. The high PWM dimming
frequency eliminates audio interference. The integrated
current sinks ensure good timing between strings (PWM
matching) while the fast response yields a linear PWM
duty-cycle versus LED current characteristic. PWM
inputs from 100Hz to 100kHz are recommended.
AAT1409 Dimming Range
vs. PWM Pin Frequency
The AAT1409 device is protected from faults arising from
LED opens and/or shorts.
An LED open condition will be detected by the controller
at startup and during normal operation. The low voltage
on the current sink is detected by the controller, which
disables the feedback to the boost converter from that
current sink. The remaining LED strings continue to
operate normally. The controller re-enables the current
sink feedback if the LED open condition is removed during a power or EN cycle. This feature extends backlight
life and reliability, which is otherwise limited by intermittent conditions in the LED string(s) and/or circuit board
interconnections.
Under all conditions, the over-voltage protection circuitry
prevents the switching node (LX) from exceeding the
maximum operating voltage prior to disabling the current
sink. Over-voltage protection (OVP) disables boost switching while maintaining the programmed LED current.
Boost switching is re-enabled when OVP hysteresis is
satisfied.
A LED short condition results in a higher voltage appearing on the affected channels' current-sink pin. The
affected current sink automatically compensates for the
additional voltage. The current sink can withstand a high
voltage indefinitely. However, the increased voltage
across the current sink causes an increase in power dissipation. The channel will continue to operate until the
over-temperature protection activates.
Integrated over-current protection is provided. Overcurrent protection prevents inductor saturation and any
resulting damage to the switching device occurring during an overload fault condition.

OVP Protection with Open LED Failure
The OVP protection consists of a resistive divider network (R3 and R4) as shown in Figure 2. The resistor
divider must be selected so that the voltage at the OVP
pin exceeds the OVP rising threshold when the output is
at VOUT(MAX).
The maximum voltage of each LED string including the
current sink headroom should not exceed VOUT(MIN).

VOVP(MAX)
When the OVP rising threshold is exceeded, the converter stops switching. The open LED channel is removed
from the boost converter feedback loop. When the voltage at the OVP pin falls below the OVP hysteresis voltage, the boost converter can resume switching.
It is important that during normal operation the current
sinks are given enough headroom so that the OVP
threshold is not tripped.

Another factor in setting the OVP voltage using the resistive divider is that the maximum voltage at the LX pin
does not exceed VLX(MAX) = 50V.
VLX(MAX) = VOUT(MAX) + VD1 + VRING
VD1 is the forward voltage of the Schottky diode D1
VRING is the voltage spike at the LX node caused by the
delay of D1 at turn on.
Measurements should confirm that the maximum switching node voltage VLX(MAX) is less than 50.0V under worst
case conditions.
For example, if the number of white LEDs in each string
is N =11, the resistor divider R3 can be calculated by
selecting R4 = 12.1kΩ:
R3 > 12.1kΩ ·
0.5V + 11 · 3.7V - 1.1

choose R3 = 442kΩ.

LED Current Sink Setting
The current sink is controlled by the RSET voltage (0.6V)
and the RSET resistor (R2). For maximum accuracy, a 1%
tolerance resistor is recommended.
The RSET resistor (R2) value can be calculated as follows:
R2 =
262 · 0.6V

Where VRSET = 0.6V.
For example, if the maximum current for each string of

Schottky Diode Selection
To ensure minimum forward voltage drop, high voltage
Schottky diodes are considered the best choice for the
White LED boost converter. The output diode is sized to
maintain acceptable efficiency and reasonable operating
junction temperature under full load operating conditions. Forward voltage (VF) and package thermal resistance (θJA) are the dominant factors to consider in
selecting a diode. The diode non-repetitive peak forward
surge current rating (IFSM) should be considered for high
pulsed load applications. IFSM rating drops with increasing conduction period. Manufacturers’ datasheets should
be consulted to verify reliability under peak loading conditions. The diode’s published current rating may not
reflect actual operating conditions and should be used
only as a comparative measure between similarly rated
devices.
During the on-time, the output voltage on the output
cap is applied to the cathode of the external Schottky
diode. The rectifier's reverse breakdown voltage rating
should be greater than the maximum output voltage rating of the Boost. 40V rated Schottky diodes are recommended for outputs less than 30V, while 60V rated
Schottky diodes are recommended for outputs greater
than 35V.
The average diode current is equal to the output current.

The approximate power loss on the Schottky diode can
be determined:
PLOSS-DIODE = IAVG · VF = IOUT · VF
Diode junction temperature can be estimated.
TJ = TAMB + θJA · PLOSS-DIODE
Output diode junction temperature should be maintained
below 110°C, but may vary depending on application
and/or system guidelines. The diode θJA can be minimized
with additional PCB area on the cathode. PCB heat-sinking the anode may degrade EMI performance. The
reverse leakage current of the rectifier must be considered to maintain low quiescent (input) current and high
efficiency under light load. The rectifier reverse current
increases dramatically at elevated temperatures.
Inductor Selection
The white LED boost (step-up) converter is designed to
operate with a minimum inductor value of 4.7μH for all
input and output voltage combinations. The inductor
saturation current rating should be greater than the
NMOS current at maximum duty cycle.
DMAX =
(VOUT + VF - VIN(MIN))
VOUT + VF
The inductor (L) is selected to avoid saturation at minimum input voltage, maximum output load conditions.
Peak current may be calculated from the following equation, again assuming continuous conduction mode.
Worst-case peak current occurs at minimum input voltage (maximum duty cycle) and maximum load.
IPEAK =
IOUT
DMAX · VIN(MIN)
+
1 - DMAX
2 · FS · L
Output Capacitor
The high output ripple inherent in the boost converter
necessitates low impedance output filtering.
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 with the white LED
boost regulator. MLC capacitors of type X7R or X5R are
recommended to ensure good capacitance stability over
the full operating temperature range.
The output capacitor is sized to maintain the output load
without significant voltage droop (ΔVOUT) during the
power switch ON interval, when the output diode is not
conducting. A ceramic output capacitor from 2.2μF to
4.7μF is recommended. Typically, 50V rated capacitors
are required for the 42V maximum boost output.
Ceramic capacitors sized as small as 0805 or 1206 are
available which meet these requirements.
MLC capacitors exhibit significant capacitance reduction
with applied voltage. Output ripple measurements
should confirm that output voltage droop and operating
stability are acceptable. Voltage derating can minimize
this factor, but results may vary with package size and
among specific manufacturers.
The output capacitor size can be estimated using the
equation:
COUT =
IOUT · DMAX
FS · ∆VOUT
To maintain stable operation at full load, the output
capacitor should be sized to maintain ΔVOUT between
100mV and 200mV.
The WLED boost converter input current flows during
both ON and OFF switching intervals. The input ripple
current is less than the output ripple and, as a result,
less input capacitance is required.
Compensation Component Selection
The AAT1409 Boost architecture uses peak current mode
control to eliminate the double pole effect of the output
L&C filter and simplifies the compensation loop design.
The current mode control architecture simplifies the
transfer function of the control loop to be a one-pole,
one left plane zero and one right half plane (RHP) system
in the frequency domain. The dominant pole can be calculated by:

Eight-Channel LED Backlight Driver

60V or Higher Output
Voltage Applications
The maximum voltage of the LX pin cannot exceed 50V
that limits the output voltage of AAT1409 to less than
50V. For larger panel driver applications where the number of LEDs in each string exceeds the maximum LEDs
supported by the AAT1409, a high voltage external
N-Channel MOSFET Q1 is stacked to the LX pin to protect the internal low-side switch from the output voltage
greater than 50V. As illustrated in Figure 7, two
AAT1409s are connected in Master and Slave configuration in order to drive 16 parallel strings with 18 LEDs in
series for each string. The Master has a boost configuration with inductor L1, Schottky diode D1, and high voltage N-channel MOSFET Q1, while the Slave operates as
additional 8-channel current sinks. The LX pins, VOUT,
OVP pins, SYNC pins, and PWM pins of the Master and
Slave should be connected together for synchronization.
The gate of Q1 is connected to the input voltage via a
resistive divider (R9 and R10) to keep its gate to source
voltage within the maximum rating (±20V).
16
High Voltage MOSFET Selection
During the OFF-time, the energy stored in the inductor
boosts-up the Drain terminal of Q1 to VOUT + VD1. During
the ON-time, the LX node pulls-down the source terminal of Q1 to GND. Therefore, the N-channel MOSFET Q1
must have a maximum operating VDSS exceeding the
maximum output voltage (VOUT(MAX) = 60V for 18 LEDs in
series). The conduction loss (PLOSS) for a given MOSFET
RDS(ON) can be calculated in the following equation:
PLOSS = D · RDS(ON) · IL(AVG)2 +
∆IL2
12
Where:
D is the duty cycle
IL(AVG) is average inductor current
∆IL is the peak-to-peak inductor current.
