A high voltage rectifier, power inductor, output capacitor, and sense resistors are required to implement a DC/DC constant current boost converter. The input disconnect switch is activated when a valid input voltage is present and the EN/SET pin is pulled high. The slew rate control on the P-channel MOSFET ensures minimal inrush current as the output voltage is charged to the input voltage, prior to the switching of the N-channel power MOSFET. Monotonic turn-on is guaranteed by the integrated soft-start circuitry. Softstart eliminates output voltage overshoot across the full input voltage range and all loading conditions. The maximum current through the LED string is set by the ballast resistor and the feedback voltage of the IC. The output current may be programmed by adjusting the level of the feedback reference voltage which is programmed through the S2Cwire interface. The SEL pin selects one of two feedback voltage ranges. For the AAT1231 and with a LOW logic level applied to the SEL pin, the FB pin voltage can be programmed from 0.1V to 0.4V. With a logic HIGH applied to the SEL pin, the FB pin voltage can be programmed from 0.3V to 0.6V. In the AAT1231-1, the SEL function is inverted in that the FB pin voltage can be programmed from 0.4V to 0.1V with a logic LOW applied to the SEL pin and 0.6V to 0.3V with a logic HIGH applied to the SEL pin. Regardless of which device is chosen, the feedback voltage can be set to any one of 16 current levels within each FB range, providing high-resolution control of the LED current, using the single-wire S2Cwire control. For torch and flash applications where a short duration, pulsed load is desired, applying a low-to-high transition on the AAT1231’s SEL pin produces a 1.5x to 3.0x LED current step. In the AAT1231-1 on the other hand, the LED current step for a low-to-high transition on the SEL 1231.2008.06.1.5 www.analogictech.com 9 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1231 SwitchRegTM Step-Up DC/DC Converters for White LED Backlight Applications Under light load conditions, the inductor OFF interval current goes below zero and the boost converter enters discontinuous mode operation. Further reduction in the load current results in a corresponding reduction in the switching frequency. The AAT1231/1231-1 provide pulsed frequency operation which reduces switching losses and maintains high efficiency under light load conditions. Operating frequency varies with changes in the input voltage, output voltage, and inductor size. Once the boost converter has reached continuous mode, further increases in the LED current will not significantly change the operating frequency. A small 2.2μH (±20%) inductor is selected to maintain high frequency switching (up to 2MHz) and high efficiency operation for outputs up to 24V. pin can be programmed from 3.0x to 1.5x. In both products, the step size is determined by the programmed voltage at the FB pin where the internal default setting is 3.0x in the AAT1231 and 1.5x in the AAT1231-1. Control Loop The AAT1231/1231-1 provide the benefits of current mode control with a simple hysteretic output current loop providing exceptional stability and fast response with minimal design effort. The device maintains exceptional constant current regulation, transient response, and cycle-by-cycle current limit without additional compensation components. The AAT1231/1231-1 modulate the power MOSFET switching current to maintain the programmed FB voltage. This allows the FB voltage loop to directly program the required inductor current in order to maintain the desired LED current. The switching cycle initiates when the N-channel MOSFET is turned ON and current ramps up in the inductor. The ON interval is terminated when the inductor current reaches the programmed peak current level. During the OFF interval, the input current decays until the lower threshold, or zero inductor current, is reached. The lower current is equal to the peak current minus a preset hysteresis threshold, which determines the inductor ripple current. The peak current is adjusted by the controller until the LED output current requirement is met. The magnitude of the feedback error signal determines the average input current. Therefore, the AAT1231/1231-1 controller implements a programmed current source connected to the output capacitor, parallel with the LED string and ballast resistor. There is no right-half plane zero, and loop stability is achieved with no additional compensation components. An increase in the feedback voltage (VFB) results in an increased error signal sensed across the ballast resistor (R1). The controller responds by increasing the peak inductor current, resulting in higher average current in the inductor and LED string(s). Alternatively, when the VFB is reduced, the controller responds by decreasing the peak inductor current, resulting in lower average current in the inductor and LED string(s). Soft Start / Enable The input disconnect switch is activated when a valid input voltage is present and the EN/SET pin is pulled high. The slew rate control on the P-channel MOSFET ensures minimal inrush current as the output voltage is charged to the input voltage, prior to switching of the N-channel power MOSFET. Monotonic turn-on is guaranteed by the built-in soft-start circuitry. Soft start eliminates output current overshoot across the full input voltage range and all loading conditions. After the soft start sequence has terminated, the initial LED current is determined by the internal, default FB voltage across the external ballast resistor at the FB pin. Additionally, the AAT1231 and the AAT1231-1 have been designed to offer the system designer two choices for the default FB voltage based on the state of the SEL pin. Changing the LED current from its initial default setting is easy by using the S2Cwire single wire serial interface; the FB voltage can be increased (as in the AAT1231; see Table 2) or decreased (as in the AAT1231-1; see Table 3) relative to the default FB voltage. Some applications may require the output to be active when a valid input voltage is present. In these cases, add a 10kΩ resistor between the VIN, VP, and EN/SET pins to avoid startup issues. 10 www.analogictech.com 1231.2008.06.1.5 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1231 SwitchRegTM Step-Up DC/DC Converters for White LED Backlight Applications Application Information Over-Voltage Protection OVP Protection with Open Circuit Failure The OVP protection circuit consists of a resistor network tied from the output voltage to the OVP pin (see Figure 1). To protect the device from open circuit failure, the resistor divider can be selected such that the over-voltage threshold occurs prior to the output reaching 24V (VOUT(MAX)). The value of R3 should be selected from 10kΩ to 20kΩ to minimize losses without degrading noise immunity. Current Limit and Over-Temperature Protection The switching of the N-channel MOSFET terminates when a current limit of 2.5A (typical) is exceeded. This minimizes power dissipation and component stresses under overload and short-circuit conditions. Switching resumes when the current decays below the current limit. Thermal protection disables the AAT1231/1231-1 when internal dissipation becomes excessive. Thermal protection disables both MOSFETs. The junction over-temperature threshold is 140°C with 15°C of temperature hysteresis. The output voltage automatically recovers when the over-temperature fault condition is removed. Over-Voltage Protection Over-voltage protection prevents damage to the AAT1231/1231-1 during open-circuit or high output voltage conditions. An over-voltage event is defined as a condition where the voltage on the OVP pin exceeds the Over-Voltage Threshold Limit (VOVP = 1.2V typical). When the voltage on the OVP pin has reached the threshold limit, the converter stops switching and the output voltage decays. Switching resumes when the voltage on the OVP pin drops below the lower hysteresis limit, maintaining an average output voltage between the upper and lower OVP thresholds multiplied by the resistor divider scaling factor.

Selecting 1% resistor for high accuracy, this results in R2 = 226kΩ (rounded to the nearest standard value). The minimum OVP threshold can be calculated: VOUT (5V/div) VOUT(OVP_MIN) = VOVP(MIN) · = 21.8V ⎛ R2 ⎞ +1 ⎝ R3 ⎠ ILED (10mA/div) ΔILED To avoid OVP detection and subsequent reduction in the programmed output current (see following section), the maximum operating voltage should not exceed the minimum OVP set point. Time (1s/div) VOUT(MAX) < VOUT(OVP_MIN) In some cases, this may disallow configurations with high LED forward voltage (VFLED) and/or greater than five series white LEDs. VFLED unit-to-unit tolerance can be as high as +15% of nominal for white LED devices. Figure 3: Over-Voltage Protection Constant Voltage Operation (6 White LEDs; ILED = 13mA; R2 = 182kΩ; R3 = 12kΩ). While OVP is active, the maximum LED current programming error (ΔILED) is proportional to voltage error across an individual LED (ΔVFLED). OVP Constant Voltage Operation Under closed loop constant current conditions, the output voltage is determined by the operating current, LED forward voltage characteristics (VFLED), quantity of series connected LEDs (N), and the feedback pin voltage (VFB). ΔVFLED = (N · VFLED(MAX) - VOUT(OVP_MIN) - VFB) N VOUT = VFB + N · VFLED When the rising OVP threshold is exceeded, switching is stopped and the output voltage decays. Switching automatically restarts when the output drops below the lower OVP hysteresis voltage (100mV typical) and, as a result, the output voltage increases. The cycle repeats, maintaining an average DC output voltage proportional to the average of the rising and falling OVP levels (multiplied by the resistor divider scaling factor). High operating frequency and small output voltage ripple ensure DC current and negligible flicker in the LED string(s). The waveform in Figure 3 shows the output voltage and LED current at cold temperature with a six series white LED string and VOVP = 19.4V. As shown, the output voltage rises as a result of the increased VFLED which triggers the OVP constant voltage operation. Self heating of the LEDs triggers a smooth transition back to constant current control. To minimize the ΔILED error, the minimum OVP voltage (VOUT(OVP_MIN)) may be increased, yielding a corresponding increase in the maximum OVP voltage (VOUT(OVP_MAX)). Measurements should confirm that the maximum switching node voltage (VSW(MAX)) is less than 28V under worstcase operating conditions.

Applications include main and sub-LCD display backlighting, and color LEDs. The LED current is controlled by the FB voltage and the ballast resistor. For maximum accuracy, a 1% tolerance resistor is recommended. 12 www.analogictech.com 1231.2008.06.1.5 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1231 SwitchRegTM Step-Up DC/DC Converters for White LED Backlight Applications Typical white LEDs are driven at maximum continuous currents of 15mA to 20mA. For maximum output, two parallel strings of six series LEDs are used. A total output current of 30mA or 40mA is required (15mA to 20mA in each string). The maximum quantity of series connected LEDs is determined by the minimum OVP voltage of the boost converter (VOUT(OVP_MIN)), minus the maximum feedback voltage (VFB(MAX)) divided by the maximum LED forward voltage (VFLED(MAX)). VFLED(MAX) can be estimated from the manufacturers’ datasheet at the maximum LED operating current.

LED Brightness Control The AAT1231 and the AAT1231-1 use S2Cwire programming to control LED brightness and does not require PWM (pulse width modulation) or additional control circuitry. 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 AAT1231 and the AAT1231-1 can be changed successively to brighten or dim the LEDs in smooth transitions (i.e., to fade out) or in abrupt steps, giving the user complete programmability and real-time control of LED brightness. 25 25 LED Current (mA) 20 SEL=HIGH 15 10 SEL=LOW 5 0 1 4 7 10 13 16 (Default) S2Cwire Data Register Figure 6: Programming AAT1231-1 LED Current with RBALLAST = 30.1Ω.

Maximum duty cycle (DMAX) is the duty cycle at minimum input voltage (VIN(MIN)). Selecting the Schottky Diode To ensure minimum forward voltage drop and no recovery, high voltage Schottky diodes are considered the best choice for the AAT1231/1231-1 boost converters. The output diode is sized to maintain acceptable efficiency and reasonable operating junction temperature under full load operating conditions. Forward voltage (VF) and package thermal resistance (θJA) are the dominant factors to consider in selecting a diode. The diode non-repetitive peak forward surge current rating (IFSM) should be considered for high pulsed load applications, such as camera flash. IFSM rating drops with increasing conduction period. Manufacturers’ datasheets should be consulted to verify reliability under peak loading conditions. The diode’s published current rating may not reflect actual operating conditions and should be used only as a comparative measure between similarly rated devices. 20V rated Schottky diodes are recommended for outputs less than 15V, while 30V rated Schottky diodes are recommended for outputs greater than 15V. The switching period is divided between ON and OFF time intervals. DMAX = VOUT - VIN(MIN) VOUT The average diode current during the OFF time can be estimated. IAVG(OFF) = IOUT 1 - DMAX The following curves show the VF characteristics for different Schottky diodes (100°C case). The VF of the Schottky diode can be estimated from the average current during the off time. 10000 Forward Current (mA) B340LA 1000 MBR0530T ZHCS350 100 1 = TON + TOFF FS During the ON time, the N-channel power MOSFET is conducting and storing energy in the boost inductor.

Output diode junction temperature should be maintained below 110ºC, but may vary depending on application and/or system guidelines. The diode θJA can be minimized with additional PCB area on the cathode. PCB heat-sinking the anode may degrade EMI performance. The reverse leakage current of the rectifier must be considered to maintain low quiescent (input) current and high efficiency under light load. The rectifier reverse current increases dramatically at elevated temperatures. The output inductor (L) is selected to avoid saturation at minimum input voltage, maximum output load conditions. Peak current may be estimated using the following equation, assuming continuous conduction mode. Worst-case peak current occurs at minimum input voltage (maximum duty cycle) and maximum load. Switching frequency (FS) can be estimated from the curves and assumes a 2.2μH inductor.

The value of the inductor determines the maximum switching frequency of the boost converter. Increased output inductance decreases the switching frequency, resulting in higher peak currents and increased output voltage ripple. To maintain 2MHz maximum switching frequency and stable operation, an output inductor sized from 1.5μH to 2.7μH is recommended. A better estimate of DMAX is possible once VF is known.

If not known, it can be estimated at 0.5V. Manufacturer’s specifications list both the inductor DC current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and peak inductor current rating, which is determined by the saturation characteristics. Measurements at full load and high ambient temperature should be completed to ensure that the inductor does not saturate or exhibit excessive temperature rise.

PCB heatsinking may degrade EMI performance when applied to the SW node (switching) of the AAT1231/1231-1. Shielded inductors provide decreased EMI and may be required in noise sensitive applications. Unshielded chip inductors provide significant space savings at a reduced cost compared to shielded (wound and gapped) inductors. In general, chip-type inductors have increased winding resistance (DCR) when compared to shielded, wound varieties. At light load and low output voltage, the controller reduces the operating frequency to maintain maximum operating efficiency. As a result, further reduction in output load does not reduce the peak current. Minimum peak current can be estimated from 0.5A to 0.75A. At high load and high output voltages, the switching frequency is somewhat diminished, resulting in higher IPEAK. Bench measurements are recommended to confirm actual IPEAK and ensure that the inductor does not saturate at maximum LED current and minimum input voltage. The RMS current flowing through the boost inductor is equal to the DC plus AC ripple components. Under worst-case RMS conditions, the current waveform is critically continuous. The resulting RMS calculation yields worst-case inductor loss. The RMS current value should be compared against the manufacturer’s temperature rise, or thermal derating, guidelines. Inductor Efficiency Considerations The efficiency for different inductors is shown in Figure 7 for six white LEDs in series.

The input ripple current is less than the output ripple and, as a result, less input capacitance is required. Selecting the Boost Capacitors The high output ripple inherent in the boost converter necessitates low impedance output filtering. Multi-layer ceramic (MLC) capacitors provide small size and adequate capacitance, low parasitic equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL), and are well suited for use with the AAT1231/1231-1 boost regulator. MLC capacitors of type X7R or X5R are recommended to ensure good capacitance stability over the full operating temperature range. The output capacitor is sized to maintain the output load without significant voltage droop (ΔVOUT) during the power switch ON interval, when the output diode is not conducting. A ceramic output capacitor from 2.2μF to 4.7μF is recommended (see Table 5). Typically, 25V rated capacitors are required for the 24V maximum boost output. Ceramic capacitors sized as small as 0805 are available which meet these requirements. MLC capacitors exhibit significant capacitance reduction with applied voltage. Output ripple measurements should confirm that output voltage droop and operating stability are acceptable. Voltage derating can minimize this factor, but results may vary with package size and among specific manufacturers. Output capacitor size can be estimated at a switching frequency (FS) of 500kHz (worst case). PCB Layout Guidelines Boost converter performance can be adversely affected by poor layout. Possible impact includes high input and output voltage ripple, poor EMI performance, and reduced operating efficiency. Every attempt should be made to optimize the layout in order to minimize parasitic PCB effects (stray resistance, capacitance, and inductance) and EMI coupling from the high frequency SW node. A suggested PCB layout for the AAT1231/1231-1 boost converter is shown in Figures 10 and 11. The following PCB layout guidelines should be considered: Minimize the distance from Capacitor C1 and C2 negative terminal to the PGND pins. This is especially true with output capacitor C2, which conducts high ripple current from the output diode back to the PGND pins. 2. Minimize the distance between L1 to DS1 and switching pin SW; minimize the size of the PCB area connected to the SW pin. 3. Maintain a ground plane and connect to the IC PGND pin(s) as well as the GND terminals of C1 and C2. 4. Consider additional PCB area on DS1 cathode to maximize heatsinking capability. This may be necessary when using a diode with a high VF and/or thermal resistance. 5. To avoid problems at startup, add a 10kΩ resistor between the VIN, VP and EN/SET pins (R4). This is critical in applications requiring immunity from input noise during “hot plug” events, e.g. when plugged into an active USB port. 1. COUT = IOUT · DMAX FS · ΔVOUT To maintain stable operation at full load, the output capacitor should be sized to maintain ΔVOUT between 100mV and 200mV. 20 www.analogictech.com 1231.2008.06.1.5 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1231 AAT1231 SwitchRegTM Manufacturer Murata Murata Murata Murata Murata Step-Up DC/DC Converters for White LED Backlight Applications Part Number GRM188R60J225KE19 GRM188R61A225KE34 GRM219R61E225KA12 GRM21BR71E225KA73L GRM21BR61E475KA12 Value (μF) 2.2 2.2 2.2 2.2 4.7 Voltage Rating 6.3 10 25 25 25 Temp Co X5R X5R X5R X7R X5R Case Size 0603 0603 0805 0805 0805 Table 6: Recommended Ceramic Capacitors.

Multi-String White LED Configurations for Digital Photo Frame Applications The AAT1231 and AAT1231-1 can be configured to light up as many as thirty-two white LEDs (WLED). This solution is scalable, flexible and good for digital photo frame applications with multi-strings of WLEDs. The multi-string WLED configuration can be composed of many different parallel/series combinations, such as 6S2P, 6S3P, 5S4P, 5S5P, 5S6P, 4S7P, 4S8P, 3S9P, and 3S10P. ‘S’ is defined as the number of WLEDs in a series per string. ‘P’ is defined as the number of strings of WLEDs that are connected from the output voltage (VOUT) to the ballast resistor, or in parallel. To match the “brightness” of each separate string of WLEDs, each string must have the same number of WLEDs in them. The over-voltage protection (OVP) should also be adjusted according to the maximum feedback voltage plus the maximum forward voltage (VF) of each WLED multiplied by the total number of WLEDs in any of the parallel strings of WLEDs.
