AAT2806
Dual High Efficiency Charge Pump
for White LED and Flash Applications
General Description
Features
The AAT2806 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 80mA. 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
S2Cwire™ (Simple Serial Control™) serial digital
input is used to enable, disable, and set current for
each LED with an 8-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 AAT2806 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
10
inputs near 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. The four constant current sink
inputs D1 to D4 can drive four individual LEDs with a
maximum current of 20mA per LED. The unused sink
inputs must be connected to VOUT_BL; otherwise, the
part will operate only in 2X charge pump mode. The
S2Cwire serial interface enables and sets the constant current sink magnitudes. S2Cwire addressing
allows the LED main channels D1-D3 to be controlled independently from the LED sub-channel D4.
2806.2005.07.1.4
AAT2806
Dual High Efficiency Charge Pump
for White LED and Flash Applications
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.
The AAT2806 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 S2Cwire serial interface (see Table 1).
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 realtime control of LED brightness.
The AAT2806 offers an additional Low Current mode
with reduced quiescent current (Data 13-16). 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.

Table 1: Constant Current Programming Levels.
S2Cwire Serial Interface
The current sink input magnitude on the backlight
charge pump is controlled by AnalogicTech's
S2Cwire serial digital input. The interface relies on
the number of rising edges of the EN/SET pin to
address and load the registers. S2Cwire latches
data or address after the EN/SET pin has been
held high for time TLAT. The interface records rising
edges of the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 16
different states, as indicated in Table 1. There are
four brightness levels for the main or sub-display
group with the possibility of individually turning ON
or OFF each group. To further optimize power efficiency, the device also offers four low-current levels for dim LED operation (Data 13-16). During this
low-current mode, the internal supply current
reduces to only 50µA typical.
The counter can be clocked at speeds up to 1MHz,
such that intermediate states are not visible. The
first rising edge of EN/SET enables the IC and initially sets the output LED current to 20mA. Once
the final clock cycle is input for the desired brightness level, the EN/SET pin is held high to maintain
the device output current at the programmed level.
The device is disabled 500µs (TOFF) after the
EN/SET pin transitions to a logic low state.

Disabled Current Sinks
The backlight charge pump is equipped with an
"auto-disable" 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 10µA.
Applications Information
LED Selection
The AAT2806 is specifically intended for driving
white LEDs. However, the device design will allow
the AAT2806 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.
12
n
0
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 AAT2806 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
The AAT2806 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
AAT2806 soft-start feature prevents noise transient
effects associated with in-rush currents during start
up of the charge pump circuit.
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
Charge Pump Power Efficiency
Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use with
the AAT2806. 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.
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.
Equivalent Series Resistance
ESR is an important characteristic to consider when
selecting a capacitor. ESR is a resistance internal to
a capacitor, which 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 COG materials. NPO and COG
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 AAT2806 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.
Thermal Protection
The AAT2806 has a thermal protection circuit that
will shut down the two charge pumps if the die temperature rises above the thermal limit.
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."
Efficiency of the AAT2806 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:

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:

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)

For a charge pump with an output of 5 volts and a
nominal input of 3.5 volts, 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.
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=

For a charge pump with an output of 5 volts and a
nominal input of 3.0 volts, the theoretical efficiency is
83.3%. Due to internal switching losses and IC quiescent current consumption, the actual efficiency
can be measured at approximately 82%. Efficiency
will decrease as the level of VIN approaches that of
the regulated VOUT. Refer to the device typical
characteristics curves for expected actual efficiency based on either input voltage or load current.
