Analogic AAT2801 Multi-mode charge pump for white led backlight and flash application Datasheet

AAT2801
Multi-Mode Charge Pump for
White LED Backlight and Flash Applications
General Description
Features
The AAT2801 is a member of AnalogicTech's Total
Power Management IC™ (TPMIC™) product family.
It has a dual charge pump architecture designed to
support both the white LED backlight and flash applications for systems operating with Lithium-Ion batteries. The backlight charge pump provides power
required to drive up to four LEDs. To maximize
power efficiency, it automatically selects 1X, 1.5X, or
2X mode. The device produces current levels up to
30mA on each of its four current source outputs.
AnalogicTech's Simple Serial Control™ (S2Cwire™)
interface is used to enable, disable, and set the LED
drive current with a 32-level logarithmic scale LED
brightness control.

Functional Description
The AAT2801 is a dual charge pump for white
LED and flash applications. The charge pump for
white LED application 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 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 AAT2801 charge pump is
enabled when any of the four current source outputs nears dropout. The charge pump initially
2801.2006.04.1.3
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.
The second section of the AAT2801 contains a
voltage doubling charge pump to supply flash LED
functions. The voltage doubling charge pump provides a 4.5V regulated output and has an independent enable control.
AutoBias Technology
Each of the four current source outputs for the
white LED backlight charge pump section is independently switched between the battery input (1X)
or the charge pump output (1.5X or 2X), depending
13

on the voltage at the current source output. Since
the LED to LED VF can vary as much as 1 volt, this
function significantly enhances overall efficiency of
the white LED backlight charge pump section when
the battery input voltage level is greater than the
voltage required at any current source output.
Constant Current Output Level Settings
The constant current source amplitudes for D1 to D4
are set via the serial interface according to a logarithmic scale, where each code is 1dB greater than
the previous code. 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.
Flash Driver
For flash applications, the voltage doubling
charge pump section is used to support the high
current demand required by the application.
Charge pump regulation is achieved by sensing
the output voltage through an internal resistor
divider network. The free running charge pump
switching frequency is approximately 1MHz. The
charge pump is designed to deliver up to 120mA
of continuous current and 250mA of pulsed current for up to 500ms.
Since the output current of the AAT2801 is programmable, no PWM (pulse width modulation) or additional control circuitry is 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 AAT2801 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 AAT2801 requires only six external components: three 1µF ceramic capacitors for the
charge pump flying capacitors (C1, C2 and C3),
one 1µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN), one 1µF
ceramic charge pump output capacitor (CCP), and
one 1µF for the flash output (CF). 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
AAT2801 and sets the current source magnitudes. A separate flash enable pin (EN_FLSH) is
provided to independently control the flash charge
pump circuit.
The 32 individual current level settings are each
approximately 1dB apart (see Current Level
Settings below). Code 32 is full scale; Code 2 is full
scale attenuated by 31dB; and Code 1 is reserved
as a "no current" setting.

The current source output magnitude is controlled
by the EN/SET pin, using AnalogicTech's S2Cwire
interface. The interface records rising edges of
the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 32 individual current level settings each 1dB apart 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.
When EN/SET is held low for an amount of time
greater than TOFF, the AAT2801 enters into shutdown mode and draws less than 1µA from VIN.
The internal data register is reset to 0 during shutdown.

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 to 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 effect, simply connect unused constant current
source outputs to ground.
LED Selection
The AAT2801 is specifically intended for driving
white LEDs. However, the device design will allow
the AAT2801 to drive most types of LEDs with forward voltage specifications ranging from 2.0V to
4.3V. 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.

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 AAT2801, it is very
difficult to measure efficiency in terms of a percent
value comparing input power over output power.
Since the AAT2801 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
components count, reliability, operating range, and
total energy usage...not just "% efficiency."
Efficiency of the AAT2801 can be quantified under
very specific conditions and is dependent upon the
input voltage versus the output voltage seen across
the loads applied to outputs D1 through D4 for a
given constant current setting. Depending upon the
case of VIN being greater than the specific voltage
seen across the load on D1 to D4, the device will
operate in load switch mode. If the voltage seen on
any 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. One should refer to the following two sections for explanations for each operational mode.
Load Switch Mode Efficiency
The AAT2801 load switch mode is operational at all
times and functions alone to enhance device power
conversion efficiency when the condition exists
where 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:

Charge Pump Section Efficiency
The AAT2801 contains a dual mode fractional and
voltage doubling charge pump which will boost the
input supply voltage in the event where VIN is less
than the voltage required on the constant current
source outputs. 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.

The flash driver charge pump section utilizes a 2X
voltage doubling topology; thus, the same efficiency equation may be used to calculate the flash
charge pump efficiency.
Capacitor Selection
Careful selection of the six external capacitors CIN,
C1, C2, C3, CCP, and CF 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 six capacitors is a good starting
point when choosing capacitors. If the LED current
sources are only programmed for light current lev-
2801.2006.04.1.3
els, then the capacitor size may be decreased.
Conversely, if the flash driver charge pump is to
provide the maximum flash current of 250mA, CIN
may be increased to 2.2µF or more to reduce the
load transient effects of the flash driver output.
Capacitor Characteristics
Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use
with the AAT2801. 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 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.
Thermal Protection
The AAT2801 has a thermal protection circuit that
will shut down the charge pump if the die temperature rises above the thermal limit.
Flash LED Driver
The AAT2801 flash driver charge pump circuit can
source 250mA for pulsed loads up to 500ms from
an input supply as low as 3.3V. This makes the
device well suited for low-cost flash LED driver
applications in portable products. Typically the
4.5V flash output (OUT_FLSH) version of the
AAT2801 should be selected for photo flash LED
applications, as it can maintain better voltage regulation at higher pulsed load current levels (refer to
Figure 1). The limitation of this option is that the
greatest flash LED forward voltage (VF) that can be
driven is 4.5V at the maximum set forward current
(IF) for the application. Flash LEDs with forward
voltage (VF) levels up to 5.0V can be driven by the
AAT2801 5.0V output option. However, the maximum current for a 500ms pulse will be reduced.
Refer to the Typical Characteristics flash driver
curves for peak output current levels for a given
minimum input voltage.

The forward current (IF) through the flash LED may
be determined with the use of a series ballast resistor. The typical forward voltage (VF) for the flash
LED in a given application should be derived from
the LED manufacturer's datasheet for the desired
forward current (IF) of the flash application. Once
