The step-down (buck) charge pump converter provides a regulated output voltage for input voltages greater than 2x the output voltage plus the required input voltage headroom (see the Applications Information section for more details). The output current range is 0mA (no load) to 300mA. The AAT3183 provides an ultra-small DC-DC solution achieving improved efficiency over LDO step-down regulators. The high switching frequency allows the use of small external capacitors. Only three ceramic capacitors are required to achieve a complete step-down converter solution. 8 Output regulation is maintained with a pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control scheme. PFM compensates for input voltage and output current variations by modulating the frequency of charge pump switching intervals. Switching frequency increases with high output currents (heavy loads) and decreases with low output currents (light loads); with a maximum switching frequency of 2MHz. PFM control provides decreased switching losses and increased efficiency with light loads. This extends battery life under lightly loaded operating conditions. The AAT3183 responds quickly to changes in line voltage and/or output current, providing stable operation with excellent line and load transient behavior. No load (zero output current) quiescent current is 35µA (typical). When disabled, the device consumes less than 1µA of current (shutdown). www.analogictech.com 3183.2008.02.1.3 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT3183 ChargePump 300mA Inductorless Step-Down Converter Integrated soft-start limits inrush current, maintains monotonic turn-on characteristics and eliminates output voltage overshoot. The device includes short-circuit protection and a self-recovering over-temperature (thermal) protection. the voltage at the input to the error amplifier decreases. The error signal increases the effective switching frequency; providing increased current to the output current thus maintaining the desired output voltage. At light loads, the effective switching frequency is greatly reduced which maintains output regulation while minimizing switching losses. TM Charge Pump Operation The AAT3183 step-down charge pump is implemented using a fixed 1/2x (gain) converter topology. This configuration allows efficient energy transfer with a single ceramic flying capacitor. The arrangement of the internal switches requires that the voltage on the flying capacitor is greater than the output voltage plus the input voltage headroom to account for a parasitic voltage drop. Energy is transferred to the flying capacitor and output during alternate ‘charge’ and ‘discharge’ intervals. The amount of energy transferred from the input voltage source to flying capacitor is proportional to the differential voltage across the flying capacitor (VDIFF = VIN - VOUT) which occurs during the ‘charge’ interval multiplied by the switching frequency. The step-down charge pump transfers energy to the output during both the ‘charge’ and ‘discharge’ intervals. Figure 1 illustrates the energy transfer mechanism during ‘charge’ and ‘discharge’ intervals. Operating efficiency (η) is defined as the output power divided by the input power. POUT η= P IN = With a constant output current and 1/2x (gain) operation, the input current is constant regardless of input voltage. The input current is equal to 50% [1/2x (gain)] of the output current. A conventional LDO regulator maintains input current which is equal to the output current. Operation efficiency (η) of an LDO regulator is as follows: IIN = ½IOUT PFM control compensates for changes in the input voltage and output current by modulating the frequency of switching intervals to maintain the desired output voltage. The output voltage is sensed through an internal resistor divider and compared against a reference voltage by an error amplifier.

Under-Voltage Lockout Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuitry monitors the input voltage (VIN) and ensures that the device will remain in standby (VOUT = 0V) until a valid VIN is present. When VIN is less than 1.5V (typical), the input current is less than 1μA and the output voltage (VOUT) remains at 0V, regardless of the status of the enable pin (EN). Typically, the UVLO turn-on threshold is 150mV greater than the UVLO turn-off threshold. UVLO hysteresis minimizes spurious under-voltage detection and eliminates output glitches. Shutdown and Soft-Start The AAT3183 offers an enable pin (EN). When VEN is below 0.4V (maximum), the device is in standby (shutdown) mode and draws less than 1μA of input current. The output will remain at 0V when EN voltage is low (VEN 10 The product features built-in soft-start circuitry to reduce inrush current and eliminate output voltage overshoot. The soft-start circuitry is enabled when input UVLO conditions are satisfied and the EN voltage is high (VEN ≥ 1.4V). If EN is tied to IN, the soft start is initiated when UVLO conditions are satisfied. The soft-start circuitry ramps up the output voltage in a controlled manner and minimizes output overshoot. Start-up time from EN positive transitioning (VEN: ≤0.4V to ≥1.4V) to output (VOUT) in regulation is 100μs (typical). High device temperature may result at elevated ambient temperatures or in cases where high output current causes self heating of the device. The device will disable all switching of the charge pump when the internal junction temperature exceeds 150°C (typical). The device will restart and enable the soft-start sequence when the temperature is reduced 15°C. This hysteresis ensures that the absolute device temperature is maintained below the over-temperature threshold and protects the device from damage. In the event of a short circuit, an internal current limit is activated and limits the output current to 1A (typical). This current is maintained until the output fault condition is removed or device over-temperature is reached. Under sustained short-circuit conditions, the device will typically reach over-temperature and latch off. The device will cool down after a short period and continue to oscillate between active and over-temperature protection states until the fault is removed. Under these worst case conditions, the device average junction temperature will be less than 150°C. www.analogictech.com 3183.2008.02.1.3 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT3183 ChargePump TM 300mA Inductorless Step-Down Converter Applications Information vide similar performance over the extended temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Initial tolerance of ±10% is recommended. MLC capacitors offer superior size (high energy density), low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and low equivalent series inductance (ESL) when compared to tantalum and aluminum electrolytic capacitor varieties. In addition, MLC capacitors are not polarized, which simplifies placement on the printed circuit board. Input Voltage Headroom The input voltage headroom is the required minimum input voltage in excess of 2x the output voltage. The following equation can be used to calculate the required input voltage headroom: VHR = (IOUT · ROUT) M VHR: Input Voltage Headroom IOUT: Output Current ROUT: Output Impedance (see “Output Impedance vs. Input Voltage” performance graph in the “Typical Characteristics” section of this datasheet) M: Charge Pump Gain [AAT3183: ½] Design Example: AAT3183 Application Conditions: IOUT = 200mA (max) VOUT = 1.5V What is the required minimum input voltage?

Capacitor Selection The AAT3183 requires three external capacitors; CIN, CFLY and COUT. The capacitor size and type can have a significant impact on charge pump performance, including input and output ripple, stability and operating efficiency. Surface-mount X5R multi-layer ceramic (MLC) capacitors are a suitable choice due to their small size and ±15% capacitance tolerance over the -55°C to +85°C operating temperature range. X7R MLC capacitors pro- 3183.2008.02.1.3 Negligible circuit losses and fast charge/discharge rates are possible with MLC capacitors due to their low ESR, which is typically less than 10mΩ. Switching noise is minimized due to their low ESL which produces voltage spikes due to the fast switching current events in charge pump converters. ESL is typically less than 1nH in MLC capacitors. MLC capacitance is reduced with an increasing DC bias voltage. Capacitance derating varies with case size, voltage rating and vendor. It is recommended that circuit performance, including output current capability and input/output voltage ripple, be verified under worst-case operating conditions. The capacitor combinations listed in Table 1 are suitable for output currents up to 220mA and 300mA. Smaller capacitors may be considered for applications requiring less than 300mA output current. Smaller solution size can be achieved at the cost of increased input and output voltage ripple and decreased output current capability. CIN, CFLY and COUT should be located close to the AAT3183 device in order to minimize stray parasitics, specifically ESR and ESL due to PCB layout traces. See the “PCB Layout Guidelines” section of this datasheet for details. An input capacitor (CIN) is required to maintain low input voltage ripple as well as minimize noise coupling to nearby circuitry. The size of the required input capacitor can vary, and depends on the source impedance of the input voltage source. A small 1µF to 2.2µF MLC input capacitor is suitable in most applications. MLC capacitors sized as small as 0402 are available which meet these requirements. The flying capacitor (CFLY) transfers energy to the output during both ‘charge’ and ‘discharge’ intervals. CFLY is sized to maintain the maximum output load and maintain acceptable output voltage ripple at the minimum input voltage. The ratio COUT to CFLY is determined by the input to output voltage ratio and should be maintained near 5:1 for best performance across the operating range. www.analogictech.com 11 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT3183 ChargePump TM 300mA Inductorless Step-Down Converter Input Capacitor Size CIN (µF/V) Output Capacitor Size COUT (µF/V) Input [1µF(min)] and Flying Capacitors Size CFLY (µF/V) Maximum Output Current IOUT (mA) 0402 0603 2.2/6.3 4.7/6.3 0603 0603 2.2/6.3 4.7/6.3 0402 0402 0.47/10 1/10 220 300 Table 1: AAT3183 Capacitor Size Selection Chart (see Table 2 for corresponding manufacturer part numbers).

Input and Output Voltage Ripple: Charge Pump Operation The AAT3183 minimizes switching noise with PFM control. PFM switches only when required to maintain the output load, reducing the total switching noise. PFM control generates a small amount of VIN and VOUT regulation ripple (ΔVPFM) due to the charge and discharge of the input and output capacitors. Additional voltage ripple is due to the parasitic resistance and inductance distributed on circuit traces and within the input, fly, and output capacitors themselves; see Figure 3 for the graphic illustration of the AC parasitic components of a AAT3183 typical application circuit. ripple. Proper component selection and good layout practice are critical in providing low ripple, low EMI performance. These parasitic elements should be minimized to optimize loop transient response and achieve stable operation. The IAC current from the flying capacitor flows through parasitic ESR and ESL. Voltage ripple across the input and output capacitors due to ESR and ESL are approximated: ∆VESR = ESRTOT · IAC ∆VESL = (ESLTOT · IAC) ∆tRISE-FALL During the charge pump switching events, an AC current path (IAC) is established from the voltage source (VIN) and input capacitor (CIN) through the flying capacitor (CFLY) to the output capacitor (COUT) and returning through the ground plane (GND). The total AC voltage ripple (VRIPPLE) is the sum of the individual AC voltage ripple signals. The AC voltage ripple signal is measured across CIN and COUT and is highest at full load and high VIN. These AC currents charge and discharge the flying capacitor and flow through the ESR and ESL, which are parasitic elements within the capacitors. Circuit board traces can add to ESR and ESL and will contribute to the AC voltage Due to fast switching, a large amount of AC switching noise due to the parasitic ESL within the CIN and COUT ceramic capacitors is seen on the output ripple. This noise may be attenuated with a small amount of input and output filtering. 12 VRIPPLE = ∆VESR + ∆VESL + ∆VPFM www.analogictech.com 3183.2008.02.1.3 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT3183 ChargePump TM 300mA Inductorless Step-Down Converter CFLY LTRACE ESL AAT3183 ESL VIN LTRACE ESR ESL COUT CIN IAC ESR VOUT RLOAD ESR GND Figure 3: AC Parasitic Components of an AAT3183 Typical Application Circuit. Thermal Performance Power de-rating of the AAT3183 is not necessary in most cases due to the low thermal resistance of the SC70JW-8 package, and the limited device losses.

The following guidelines should be observed when designing the printed circuit board layout for the AAT3183 step-down converter: Place the three external capacitors as close to the AAT3183 device as possible. Maintain the circuit board traces as short and wide as possible. This will minimize noise resulting from parasitic ESR and ESL in the AC current path. Maintain short and wide traces from ground plane to circuit nodes. This will minimize stray parasitics.
