AAT3166 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications General Description Features The AAT3166 is a low noise, constant frequency charge pump DC/DC converter that uses a trimode load switch (1X), fractional (1.5X), and doubling (2X) conversion to maximize efficiency for white LED applications. The AAT3166 is capable of driving four LEDs for a total of 108mA from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. The current sinks may be operated individually or in parallel for driving higher-current LEDs. A low external parts count (two 1µF flying capacitors and two small 1µF capacitors at IN and OUTCP) make this part ideally suited for small, battery-powered applications. • • • • • • • • • • • • • 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 115µA. For optimized efficiency, low-current settings require only 50µA of housekeeping current. Each output of the AAT3166 is equipped with builtin protection for output short-circuit and auto-disable for load short-circuit condition. Built-in softstart circuitry prevents excessive inrush current during start-up. A low-current shutdown feature disconnects the load from the input and reduces quiescent current to less than 1µA.

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 discharges over time, the AAT3166 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 enough for any current source output to become close to dropout, the charge pump will automatically transition to 2X mode. The AAT3166 requires only four external components: two 1µF ceramic capacitors for the charge pump flying 8 capacitors (C1 and C2), one 1µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN), and one 0.33µF to 1µF ceramic charge pump output capacitor (COUT). The four constant current sink inputs (D1 to D4) can drive four individual LEDs with a maximum current of 27mA nominal each. Unused sink inputs should be connected to OUTCP, otherwise the part will operate only in 2X charge pump mode. The AS2Cwire serial interface enables the AAT3166 and sets the current sink magnitudes. AS2Cwire addressing allows independent control of two groups of current sink input: D1~D3 and D4. Constant Current Output Level Settings The constant current sink levels for D1 to D4 are set via the serial interface according to a logarithmic scale where each code is approximately 1.8dB lower than the previous code. In this manner, LED 3166.2006.05.1.2 AAT3166 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications brightness appears linear with each increasing code count. 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 actual forward voltage (VF) for the LED being driven. Since the input current sinks of the AAT3166 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 input sink current of the AAT3166 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 16 individual current level settings are each approximately 1.8dB apart (see Table 1). Code 1 is full scale; Code 15 is full scale attenuated by approximately 25dB; and Code 16 is reserved as a "no current" setting.

AS2Cwire adds addressing capability for multiple data registers over the Simple Serial Control™ (S2Cwire™), which is capable of controlling only a single register. The AAT3166 has four registers: Bank1, Bank2, Max Current, and Low Current. Three addresses are used to control the two registers. Address 0 addresses both registers simultaneously to allow the loading of both registers with the same data using a single write protocol. Address 1 addresses Register 1 for D1 to D3 current level settings. Address 2 addresses Register 2 for D4 current level settings. 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 0 is signified by 17 rising edges, Address 1 by 18 rising edges, and Address 2 by 19 rising edges. 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 consisting of data only (without address) to the corresponding data register are allowed. Address 0 is the default address on the first rising edge after the AAT3166 has been disabled. If data is presented on the first rising edge with no prior address, both data registers are simultaneously loaded. The maximum current level is determined by the value set in Register 3, the Max Current register. Three scales are available for high operating currents with maximum current levels of 27mA, 18mA, or 14mA. Each scale maintains approximately 1.8dB steps between settings. A separate mode is 9 AAT3166 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications available for ultra-low LED current operation. When the Max Current register (Register 3) is set to the Low Current setting, the Low Current register (Register 4) must be programmed. The two most significant bits of the Low Current register control whether or not a given bank of current sinks is enabled. The least two significant bits of the Low Current register set the current level for both banks. For low current settings, the charge pump may be enabled if required by the battery voltage and LED forward voltage conditions, and 1X mode quiescent current is approximately 100µA for multiple channels or 50µA for Channel 4 operation only. Both banks of current sinks must be in the same high or low current mode of operation. When EN/SET is held low for an amount of time greater than TOFF, the AAT3166 enters shutdown mode and draws less than 1µA from VIN. Data and Address registers are reset to 0 during shutdown.

After the IC is enabled and started up, a test current of 120µA (typical) is forced through each sink channel. The channel will be disabled if the voltage of that particular SINK pin does not drop to a certain threshold. This feature is very convenient for disabling an unused channel or during an LED fail-short event. Thermal Protection The AAT3166 has a built-in thermal protection circuit that will shut down the charge pump if the die temperature rises above the thermal limit, as would be the case during a short circuit of the OUTCP pin. 3166.2006.05.1.2 AAT3166 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications AS2Cwire Serial Interface Timing Address Data THI TLO TLAT TLAT EN/SET 1 2 Address 17 18 0 0 Data Reg 2 0 LED Selection Although the AAT3166 is designed for driving white LEDs, the device also can be used to drive most types of LEDs with forward voltage specifications ranging from 2.0V to 4.7V. LED applications may include main and sub-LCD 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 AAT3166 make it capable of driving LEDs with forward voltages as high as 4.7V at full current from an input supply as low as 3.0V. Outputs can be paralleled to drive high-current LEDs without complication. 2... n <= 16 1 Data Reg 1 Applications Information 3166.2006.05.1.2 1 n-1 Device Switching Noise Performance The AAT3166 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-topeak, typically ten times less than inductor-based DC/DC boost converter white LED backlight solutions. The AAT3166 soft-start feature prevents noise transient effects associated with inrush currents during start-up of the charge pump circuit. Capacitor Selection Careful selection of the four external capacitors (CIN, C1, C2, 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. A value of 1µF for all four capacitors is a good starting point when choosing capacitors. If the LED current sources are programmed only for light current levels, then the capacitor size may be decreased. 11 AAT3166 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications Capacitor Characteristics Ceramic Capacitor Materials Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use with the AAT3166. 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. 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 AAT3166 applications. Equivalent Series Resistance ESR is an important characteristic to consider when selecting a capacitor. ESR is 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. 12 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. 3166.2006.05.1.2 AAT3166 High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications Ordering Information Package Marking1 Part Number (Tape and Reel)2 TDFN33-12 PXXYY AAT3166IWP-T1 All AnalogicTech products are offered in Pb-free packaging.
