Multi-Mode Charge Pump for White LED Backlight and Flash Applications General Description
The AAT2801 is a member of AnalogicTech's Total Power Management IC™ (TPMIC™) product family. It has a dual charge pump architecture designed to support both the white LED backlight and flash applications for systems operating with Lithium-Ion batteries. The backlight charge pump provides power required to drive up to four LEDs. To maximize power efficiency, it automatically selects 1X, 1.5X, or 2X mode. The device produces current levels up to 30mA on each of its four current source outputs. AnalogicTech's Simple Serial Control™ (S2Cwire™) interface is used to enable, disable, and set the LED drive current with a 32-level logarithmic scale LED brightness control. The flash charge pump is a charge pump doubler with a regulated output voltage. It is designed to deliver 120mA of continuous current and up to 250mA of pulsed current. It has an independent enable pin for improved power savings. The AAT2801 is equipped with AnalogicTech’s AutoBias™ technology which allows individual LEDs to be powered either by charge pump or battery input, determined internally and automatically to maximize the power efficiency even with a large difference in LED forward voltage. The AAT2801 has thermal protection and built-in soft-start circuitry. A high charge pump switching frequency enables the use of very small external capacitors. The AAT2801 is available in the 16-pin TDFN44 package.

Functional Description
The AAT2801 is a dual charge pump for white LED and flash applications. The charge pump for white LED application 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 AAT2801 charge pump is enabled when any of the four current source outputs nears dropout. The charge pump initially
2801.2006.04.1.3
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 second section of the AAT2801 contains a voltage doubling charge pump to supply flash LED functions. The voltage doubling charge pump provides a 4.5V regulated output and has an independent enable control.
AutoBias Technology
Each of the four current source outputs for the white LED backlight charge pump section is independently switched between the battery input (1X) or the charge pump output (1.5X or 2X), depending 13
Multi-Mode Charge Pump for White LED Backlight and Flash Applications
on the voltage at the current source output. Since the LED to LED VF can vary as much as 1 volt, this function significantly enhances overall efficiency of the white LED backlight charge pump section when the battery input voltage level is greater than the voltage required at any current source output.

Applications Information— White LED Backlight Section
Constant Current Output Level Settings
The constant current source amplitudes for D1 to D4 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 D4 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 AAT2801 is 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 output current of the AAT2801 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 32 individual current level settings are each approximately 1dB apart (see Current Level Settings below). Code 32 is full scale; Code 2 is full scale attenuated by 31dB; and Code 1 is reserved as a "no current" setting.
Flash Driver
For flash applications, the voltage doubling charge pump section is used to support the high current demand required by the application. Charge pump regulation is achieved by sensing the output voltage through an internal resistor divider network. The free running charge pump switching frequency is approximately 1MHz. The charge pump is designed to deliver up to 120mA of continuous current and 250mA of pulsed current for up to 500ms. The AAT2801 requires only six external components: three 1µF ceramic capacitors for the charge pump flying capacitors (C1, C2 and C3), one 1µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN), one 1µF ceramic charge pump output capacitor (CCP), and one 1µF for the flash output (CF). The four constant current outputs (D1 to D4) drive four individual LEDs with a maximum current of 30mA each. The EN/SET S2Cwire serial interface enables the AAT2801 and sets the current source magnitudes. A separate flash enable pin (EN_FLSH) is provided to independently control the flash charge pump circuit.

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 each 1dB apart 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 AAT2801 enters into shutdown mode and draws less than 1µA from VIN. The internal data register is reset to 0 during shutdown.
