AAT3142
High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications General Description
The AAT3142 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 device produces current levels up to 30mA on each of its three current source outputs to drive various arrangements of LEDs from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. Outputs 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 VIN and CP) make the AAT3142 ideally suited for small battery-powered applications. AnalogicTech's Simple Serial Control™ (S2Cwire™) digital input is used to enable, disable, and set the LED drive current with a 32-level logarithmic scale LED brightness control. The AAT3142 has a thermal management system to protect the device in the event of a short-circuit condition at an output pin. Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current during start-up. A high charge pump switching frequency enables the use of very small external capacitors. In shutdown mode, the device disconnects the load from VIN and reduces quiescent current to less than 1µA. The AAT3142 is available in the very small, Pb-free 12-pin TSOPJW package.

Functional Description
The AAT3142 is a tri-mode load switch (1X) and high efficiency (1.5X or 2X) charge pump device intended for white LED backlight applications. To maximize power conversion efficiency, an internal sensing circuit monitors the voltage required on each constant current source output and sets the load switch and charge pump modes based on the input battery voltage and the current source output voltage. As the battery discharges over time, the AAT3142 charge pump is enabled when any of the three current source outputs nears 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. Each of the three current source outputs is
independently switched between the battery input (1X) or the charge pump output (1.5X or 2X), depending on the voltage at the current source output. Since the LED-to-LED forward voltage (VF) can vary as much as 1V, this function significantly enhances overall device efficiency when the battery input voltage level is greater than the voltage required at any current source output. The AAT3142 requires only four external components: two 1µF ceramic capacitors for the charge pump flying capacitors (C1 and C2), one 1µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN), and one 0.33µF to 1µF ceramic charge pump output capacitor (CCP). The three constant current outputs (D1 to D3) drive three individual LEDs with a maximum current of 30mA each. The EN/SET S2Cwire serial interface enables the AAT3142 and sets the current source magnitudes.

Constant Current Output Level Settings
The constant current source amplitudes for D1 to D3 are set via the serial interface according to a logarithmic scale where each code is 1dB greater than the previous code. In this manner, LED brightness appears linear with each increasing code count. Because the outputs D1 to D3 are true independent constant current sources, the voltage observed on any single given output will be determined by the actual forward voltage (VF) for the LED being driven. Since the output current of the AAT3142 is programmable, no PWM (pulse width modulation) or additional control circuitry are 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 output current of the AAT3142 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 individual current level settings are each approximately 1dB apart for settings above Code 8 (see Figure 1). The current level settings below Code 8 are more than 1dB apart and serve the needs of transmissive displays and other low-current applications.

S2Cwire Serial Interface
The current source output magnitude is controlled by the EN/SET pin, using AnalogicTech's S2Cwire interface. The interface records rising edges of the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 32 individual current level settings with Code 1 reserved for no current. Once EN/SET has been held in the logic high state for time TLAT, the programmed current is seen at the current source outputs, and the internal data register is reset to 0. For subsequent current level programming, the number of rising edges corresponding to the desired code must be entered on the EN/SET pin. When EN/SET is held low for an amount of time greater than TOFF, the AAT3142 enters into shutdown mode and draws less than 1µA from VIN. The internal data register is reset to 0 during shutdown.
