ANALOGICTECH AAT2842

AAT2842
High-Current Charge Pump with S2Cwire™
Control and Dual LDO for Backlight and Flash
General Description
Features
The AAT2842 is a highly integrated charge pump
with dual linear regulators optimized for systems
operating with lithium-ion/polymer batteries. The
charge pump provides power for both white LED
backlight/keypad and flash. Up to four backlight
LEDs can be driven at up to 30mA each and keypad LEDs can be driven using lower currents set by
the S2Cwire interface. In addition, up to four flash
LEDs can be driven with up to 600mA total. Two
separate S2Cwire™ (Simple Serial Control™) serial
digital interfaces are used to enable, disable, and
set the current to one of 16 levels for both backlight
and flash LEDs. Backlight/keypad and flash current
settings are also controlled through external resistors for increased versatility with reduced accuracy
and matching. Backlight/keypad current matching
is 1% for uniform display brightness, and flash current matching is 4% for uniform power dissipation.
An integral flash timer set by an external capacitor
protects the flash LED should a fault occur.

The AAT2842 offers two high-performance
MicroPower™ low dropout (LDO) linear regulators.
A single enable input controls both regulators and
each supplies up to 200mA to the load. Both LDOs
consume only 85µA quiescent current, making
them ideal for battery-operated applications.

Functional Description
The AAT2842 is a highly integrated LED driver with
two LDO linear regulators. The charge pump LED
driver simultaneously drives the backlight and flash
LEDs from a 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage. The LDO
regulators operate from the same input voltage
range and produce regulated output voltages as
low as 1.2V.
LED Drivers
The LEDs are driven from an internal charge pump
that, depending on the battery voltage and LED forward voltage, drives the LED directly from the input
voltage (1X mode) or steps the input voltage up by
a factor of 1.5 (1.5X mode) or 2 (2X mode). The
charge pump requires only two tiny ceramic capac-
10
itors, making a more compact solution than an
inductor-based step-up converter solution. Each
individual LED is driven by a current sink to GND
allowing individual current control with high accuracy over a wide range of input voltages and LED forward voltages while maintaining high efficiency.
The charge pump is controlled by the voltage
across the LED current sinks. When any one of the
active current sinks starts to dropout, the charge
pump goes to the next higher mode (from 1X to
1.5X or from 1.5X to 2X mode) to maintain sufficient LED voltage and keep constant LED current.
The AAT2842 continuously monitors the LED forward voltages, and the input voltage determines
when to reduce the charge pump mode for better
efficiency. There is also a 500mV mode-transition
hysteresis that prevents the charge pump from
oscillating between modes.

AAT2842
High-Current Charge Pump with S2Cwire™
Control and Dual LDO for Backlight and Flash
The backlight and flash LED currents are controlled
by a combination of an external programming
resistor from BSET (for backlight) or FSET (for
flash) to AGND and the backlight or flash serial
S2Cwire interface BENS or FENS. The programming resistor sets the maximum LED current for
each channel, and the serial S2Cwire interface controls the LED current relative to the maximum.
To drive backlight LEDs with optimal absolute
accuracy and channel-to-channel matching, the
maximum output current is set to 30mA with a
280kΩ resistor connected at the BSET pin of the
AAT2842. Depending upon the application and the
white LEDs chosen, the preferred method to
decrease the maximum BL output current is to use
a 280kΩ resistor for RBSET and then set the desired
current output using the product's S2Cwire interface, as shown in Table 1.
Using Backlight LED Outputs for
Low-Current LED Applications
The AAT2842's backlight current outputs can be programmed to drive lower current LEDs, such as those
used for keypad applications. For best low-current
accuracy and matching, the preferred method is to
use a 280kΩ resistor for RBSET and then set the
desired current output using the product's S2Cwire
interface, as shown in Table 1.
If any one of the current sinks is not used, connect
the unused current sink to OUT. The current controller monitors the current sink voltage and, if it is
connected to OUT, then it is assumed that the current sink is not used or that the LED is shorted, and
the controller turns off that current sink.
S2Cwire Serial Interface
The S2Cwire serial interface records rising edges of
the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 16 different
states. The S2Cwire interface has flexible timing;
data can be clocked-in at speeds greater than
1MHz or much slower, such as 15kHz. After data is
submitted, EN/SET is held high to latch the data.
Once EN/SET has been held in the logic high state
for time TLAT, the programmed current becomes
active and the internal data register is reset to zero.
For subsequent current level programming, the
2842.2006.10.1.0
number of rising edges corresponding to the
desired code must be entered on the EN/SET pin.
The AAT2842 features separate control interfaces
for the backlight and flash current control. The
backlight current features 16 current steps, each as
a percentage of the maximum backlight current set
by the BSET resistance. The flash has 16 current
level settings, again as a percentage of the maximum flash current set by the FSET resistance (see
Tables 1 and 2). Initiating a flash current also initiates the flash timer which is programmed via an
external capacitor CT.
Calculate the flash time T by the following equation:
T = 10 × CT
where T is in seconds and CT is in µF.
For example, for a 0.1µF capacitor:
T = 10 × 0.1µF
= 1s
To disable the flash timer, connect CT to AGND.

Applications Information
LDO Output Voltage Programming
The output voltages for LDOA and LDOB are programmed by an external resistor divider network.
As shown in Figure 2, the selection of R1 and R2 is
a straightforward matter.
R1 is chosen by considering the tradeoff between
the feedback network bias current and resistor
value. Higher resistor values allow stray capacitance to become a larger factor in circuit performance whereas lower resistor values increase bias
current and decrease efficiency.

Shutdown
Since the sink switches are the only power returns
for all loads, there is no leakage current when all of
the sink switches are disabled. To activate the shutdown mode, hold both the BENS and FENS inputs
low for longer than TBENS(OFF) or TFENS(OFF) (500µs).
In this state, the AAT2842 typically draws less than
1µA from the input. Data and address registers are
reset to 0 in shutdown.
Low Dropout Regulators
The AAT2842 includes two LDO linear regulators.
The regulators run from the same 2.7V to 5.5V input
voltage as the charge pump. The regulators use a
single on/off control input, ENL. The LDO output
voltages are set through a resistive voltage divider
from the output (OUTA or OUTB) to the feedback
input (FBA or FBB). The ratio of resistor values
determines the LDO output voltage. The low 200mV
dropout voltage at 200mA load current allows the
regulator to maintain output voltage regulation.
Each LDO regulator can supply a continuous load
current up to 200mA. Both LDOs include current
limiting and thermal overload protection to prevent
damage to the load or to the LDOs.
12
Figure 2: Selection of External Resistors.
To select appropriate resistor values, first choose
R1 such that the feedback network bias current is
reasonable. Then, according to the desired VOUT,
calculate R2 according to the equation below. An
example calculation follows.
R1 is chosen to be 120K, resulting in a small feedback network bias current of 1.2V/120K = 10µA.
The desired output voltage is 1.8V. From this information, R2 is calculated from the equation below.
R2 =
R1(VOUT - 1.2)
1.2
The result is R2 = 60K. Since 60K is not a standard
1% value, 60.4K is selected. From this example
calculation, for VOUT = 1.8V, use R1 = 120K and R2
= 60.4K. Example output voltages and corresponding resistor values are provided in Table 3.

The value of RBSET determines the maximum LED

An alternative method can be used for brightness
control of the flash and/or backlight sections by utilizing the corresponding set resistor pin. By using a

Using an additional resistor to connect the BSET

When the digital output is asserted high, the resulting brightness level for the backlighting section is

The AAT2842 power conversion efficiency
depends on the charge pump mode. By definition,
device efficiency is expressed as the output power

power consumed.

When the input voltage is sufficiently greater than
the LED forward voltages, the device optimizes
efficiency by operating in 1X mode. In 1X mode,
the device is working as a bypass switch and passing the input supply directly to the output. By simplifying the conditions such that the LEDs have uniform VF, the power conversion efficiency can be
approximated by:
η=
VF · ILED
VF
≈
VIN · IIN
VIN
Due to the very low 1X mode quiescent current, the
input current nearly equals the total output current
delivered to the LEDs. Further, the low resistance
bypass switch introduces negligible voltage drop
from input to output.
The AAT2842 further maintains optimized performance and efficiency by detecting when the input
voltage is not sufficient to sustain LED drive current. The device automatically switches to 1.5X
mode when the input voltage drops too low in relation to the LED forward voltages.
In 1.5X mode, the output voltage can be boosted to
3/2 the input voltage. The 3/2 conversion ratio
introduces a corresponding 1/2 increase in input
current. For ideal conversion, the 1.5X mode efficiency is given by:
η=
VF · ILED
VF
≈
VIN · 1.5IIN 1.5 · VIN
Similarly, when the input falls further, such that
1.5X mode can no longer sustain LED drive current, the device will automatically switch to 2X
mode. In 2X mode, the output voltage can be

trolytic 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
LED Selection
The AAT2842 is designed to drive high-intensity
white LEDs. It is particularly suitable for LEDs with
an operating forward voltage in the range of 4.2V to
1.5V.
The charge pump device can also drive other loads
that have similar characteristics to white LEDs. For
various load types, the AAT2842 provides a highcurrent, programmable, ideal constant current
source.
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 100mΩ.
Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use
with the AAT2842. Ceramic capacitors offer many
advantages over their tantalum and aluminum elec-
2842.2006.10.1.0
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.
Ceramic Capacitor Materials
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
are often available in lower-cost dielectrics, but
capacitors greater than 10µF are not typically
required for AAT2842 applications.
Capacitor area is another contributor to ESR.
Capacitors that are physically larger will have a
lower ESR when compared to an equivalent material smaller capacitor. These larger devices can
improve circuit performance when compared to an
equal value capacitor in a smaller package size.

The user interface for the AAT2842 evaluation
board is provided through four buttons and a number of connection terminals. The board is operated
by supplying external power and pressing individual
buttons or button combinations. Table 4 indicates
the function of each button or button combination.
To power-on the board, connect a power supply or
battery to the DC- and DC+ terminals. Close the
board supply connection by positioning the J1

The evaluation board is flexible so that the user
can disconnect the enable lines from the microcontroller and apply external enable signals. By
removing the jumpers from J2, J3, and/or J4, external enable signals can be applied to the board.
External enable signals must be applied to Pin 1 of
each J2, J3, or J4 terminal.
When applying external enable signals, consideration must be given to the voltage levels. The externally applied voltages cannot exceed the supply
voltage that is applied to the IN pins of the device
(DC+).
The LDO loads can be connected directly to the
evaluation board. For adequate performance, be
sure to connect the load between OUTA/OUTB and
DC-, as opposed to some other GND in the system.
