AAT2805
Dual High Efficiency Charge Pump
for White LED and Flash Applications
General Description
Features
The AAT2805 is a dual charge pump designed to
support both the white LED backlight and flash applications for systems operating with lithium-ion/polymer batteries. The backlight charge pump is capable
of driving up to four LEDs at a total of 120mA. The
current sinks may be operated individually or in parallel for driving higher current LEDs. To maximize
power efficiency, the charge pump operates in 1X,
1.5X, or 2X mode, where the mode of operation is
automatically selected by comparing the forward
voltage of each LED with the input voltage.
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 typical operating quiescent current of less than 50µA.

Functional Description
The AAT2805 is a dual charge pump designed for
flash and white LED applications. The backlight
charge pump is a tri-mode load switch (1X) and high
efficiency (1.5X or 2X) charge pump device. 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
voltage discharges over time, the white LED charge
pump is enabled when any of the four current sink
inputs near dropout. The charge pump initially starts
in 1.5X mode. If the charge pump output drops
10
enough for any current source output to become
close to dropout, the charge pump will automatically
transition to 2X mode. The four constant current sink
inputs D1 to D4 can drive four individual LEDs with a
maximum current of 30mA per LED. The unused sink
inputs must be connected to VOUT_BL; otherwise, the
part will operate only in 2X charge pump mode. The
AS2Cwire serial interface enables and sets the constant current sink magnitudes. AS2Cwire addressing
allows the LED main channels D1-D3 to be controlled independently from the LED sub-channel D4.
The flash charge pump is a charge pump doubler
with regulated output voltage. It is designed to deliver 120mA of continuous current and 250mA of
pulsed current.
2805.2006.04.1.7
AAT2805
Dual High Efficiency Charge Pump
for White LED and Flash Applications
The AAT2805 requires six external components:
three 1µF ceramic capacitors for the charge pump
flying capacitors (C1, C2, and C3), one 1µF ceramic
input capacitor (CIN), one 0.33µF to 1µF ceramic
capacitor for backlight charge pump output capacitor
(COUT), and one 1µF ceramic capacitor for flash
charge pump output capacitor (COUT).
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. The current level spacing is 1dB
between adjacent constant current settings. In this
manner, LED brightness appears to change linearly
when the settings are traversed. 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 are 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 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 (see Table 1), 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. When programming the charge pump, it will
default to the 20mA maximum scale.
The AAT2805 offers an additional Low Current mode
with reduced quiescent current (see Table 2). This
mode is especially useful for low-current applications
where a continuous, low-current state is maintained.
The reduction in quiescent current significantly
reduces the impact due to maintaining a continuous
backlighting state.

channel states. AS2Cwire has addressing capability
for multiple data registers. With multiple data registers, the main and sub-channel can be programmed
together or independently from one another.
AS2Cwire relies on the number of rising edges of the
EN/SET pin to address and load the registers.
AS2Cwire latches data or address after the EN/SET
pin has been 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.
2
When EN/SET is held low for an amount of time
greater than TOFF, the charge pump enters into shutdown mode and draws less than 1µA from the supply. Address 1 is the default address on the first rising edge after the charge pump has been disabled.
Whenever shutdown mode is entered, all registers
are reset to 1.
AS2Cwire Addressing
Five addresses are available to enable all of the
part's functionality (see Table 3). Two 4-bit registers
control the main and sub-channel, giving 16 settings
for each. The main and sub-channel are programmed to the same constant current level by using
Address 1. Use Addresses 2 and 3 to program the
main and sub-channel independently. Use Address 4
to program the Max Current register, which sets the
Max Current scale. Lastly, Address 5 programs the
Low Current register. The Low Current register controls the efficient Low Current mode.
When the Max Current register is programmed to 1,
2, or 3, changing the data for Addresses 1-3 will
result in the corresponding values found in Table 1.
When the Max Current register is programmed to 4,
12
the part is programmed to operate in Low Current
mode and the Data for Addresses 1-3 is irrelevant. In
Low Current mode, the Low Current register takes
precedence. See the Low Current Register Settings
table below for the current level settings and main/
sub-configurations that result.

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 charge pump operates in
the 20mA Max scale (see Table 1). 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 as shown in Table 1.
The charge pump 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. For another 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 Low Current
register with 21 rising edges and pause for TLAT.
Program the Low Current register with 1-16 rising
edges. The part will update to the new Low Current
mode setting and operate with significantly reduced
quiescent current.

Disabled Current Sinks
The backlight charge pump is equipped with an autodisable feature to protect against an LED failure condition. 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.
If left unconnected or terminated to ground, the part
will be forced to operate in 2X charge pump mode.
Properly terminating unused current sink inputs is
important to prevent the charge pump modes from
activating prematurely. When properly terminated,
only a small sense current flows for each disabled
channel. The sense current for each disabled channel is less than 120µA.

Applications Information
LED Selection
The AAT2805 is specifically intended for driving white
LEDs. However, the device design will allow the
AAT2805 to drive most types of LEDs with forward
voltage specifications ranging from 2.0V to 4.3V.
LED applications may include main 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 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 AAT2805 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.

Device Switching Noise Performance
Ceramic Capacitor Materials
The AAT2805 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
AAT2805 soft-start feature prevents noise transient
effects associated with inrush currents during startup of the charge pump circuit.
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 lowcost Y5V and Z5U dielectrics, but capacitors
greater than 1µF are not typically required for
AAT2805 applications.
Capacitor Selection
Careful selection of the six external capacitors CIN,
C1, C2, C3 and COUT (for backlight and flash) 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) (<100mΩ) 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.
Capacitor Characteristics
Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use with
the AAT2805. 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.
Equivalent Series Resistance
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.
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 AAT2805 has a thermal protection circuit that
will shut down the two charge pumps if the die temperature rises above the thermal limit.
Charge Pump Power Efficiency
Backlight Charge Pump: 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, it
is very difficult to measure efficiency in terms of a
percent value comparing input power over output
power. Since the outputs are pure constant current
sinks 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."

AAT2805
Dual High Efficiency Charge Pump
for White LED and Flash Applications
Efficiency of the AAT2805 may 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 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 or 2X
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 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 conversion efficiency is defined as output power divided by input power:
η=
POUT

The expression to define the ideal efficiency (η) can
be rewritten as:
η=
POUT VOUT × IOUT VOUT

VIN × IOUT

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 (η)
can be rewritten as:
η=
-or-
η(%) = 100
Flash Charge Pump: The flash charge pump is a
regulated output voltage doubling charge pump. The
efficiency is defined as a linear voltage regulator with
an effective output voltage that is equal to two times
the input voltage. The expression to define the ideal
efficiency can be written as:
η=
⎛ VOUT ⎞
⎝ VIN ⎠
Charge Pump Mode Efficiency: Fractional charge
pumps 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 a 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:
η=

⎝ 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 level of VIN approaches VOUT.
