It includes six individual channels for backlight white LEDs, and three individual channels for RGB LEDs. All of these functionalities are powered by a highly efficient tri-mode charge pump power engine that is capable of delivering 240mA of output current. The six backlight channels can be turned on or off all together, in two groups, or individually. The twogroup operation allows LEDs to be turned on and off in for dual display applications: the main display (BL1-BL4) and sub-display (B5-B6). The individual on/off feature supports applications other than main/sub-display backlighting, such as keypad lighting. The maximum backlight current is programmable with an external resistor, RBSET. The RGB channels can be programmed with up to 4096 or 64 different combinations of colors and lighting intensities (brightness). R, G, and B channels are individually controlled and can be used for alternative functions, such as keyboard lighting, "fun" lighting, etc. AS2Cwire Serial Interface Each current channel input on the AAT2833/34 is controlled by AnalogicTech's AS2Cwire serial digital interface. The AS2Cwire interface uses the number of rising edges on the EN/SET pin to address and load the LED configuration registers. AS2Cwire latches data or addresses after the EN/SET pin has been held logic high for longer than TLAT (500µs). Addresses and data are 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, Address 2 by 19 rising edges, and so on. Data is set to any number of rising edges between 1 and including 16. A typical write protocol consist of the following: first a burst of EN/SET rising edges that identify/target a particular address followed by EN/SET being held logic high for the TLAT timeout period to latch the address value in the registers, then another burst of rising edges that signify data with the accompanying TLAT timeout period to latch the data value in the registers. Once an address is set, then multiple writes to the corresponding data register are allowed without having to write to the address for every change 9 2833.2007.09.1.0 AAT2833/34 240mA Total Display Solution for Portable Devices in data values. When EN/SET is held low longer than TOFF (500µs), the AAT2833/34 enters shutdown mode operation and draws less than 1µA from the input supply voltage. Data and address registers are cleared (reset to 0) in shutdown mode operation. Table 1a contains the AS2Cwire serial interface address functionality when independent channel control is disabled (independent channel control is disabled by default) and conversely Table 1b contains the AS2Cwire serial interface address functionality when independent channel control is enabled.

The EN/SET AS2Cwire serial interface enables all channels and sets the current magnitude as a percentage of the maximum current, programmed by an external resistor at BSET (see Figure 4). To set the backlight current (minimum to maximum current) of the main display LEDs (BL1-BL4), the user would write data to Address 1. To set the backlight current for the sub display LEDs (BL5-BL6), the user would write data to Address 2. To write to both main display and sub display LEDs (BL1-BL6) at the same time, the user would write to Address 0.

This mode allows the user to turn on some or all of the channels in any desired combination. This control is achieved by changing the functionality of the AS2Cwire registers. To enable individual LED control mode, a user would write Data 8 to Address 15. All channels that are enabled must carry the same current, which is set using the new functionality of Address 1 (see Table 2b). Data 8 Data Code Figure 1: Addresses 0-2 Backlight Current Level.

To set the low backlight current level, the user would write data to Address 3, as shown in Table 3. For example, to toggle between 1.7% and 25% of the maximum backlight current on all LEDs, write Data = 14 to Address 3 and Data 4 to Address 0.

The current level for the RGB LEDs is controlled by another register (Address 12) which makes it possible to change the peak currents from 33% up to 200% of the backlight maximum current set by RBSET. A mode register (Address 11) sets the method of update for the color and intensity registers. All registers are updated simultaneously or individually, depending on how the mode register is set. If updated simultaneously, the color registers are updated when the period register is updated. Up to 4096 different color/brightness combinations are programmable in the AAT2833 and 64 color/brightness combinations are programmable in the AAT2834. Address 7, 8, 9: RGB Color Registers The AAT2833's RGB color registers store up to 16 levels of lighting intensity for a given color channel. The first level (DATA = 1) is reserved for the off-state. Every setting thereafter increases the on-time of the respective LED by 128µs. The settings can be calculated as follows: R = (DATA7 - 1) · 128μs G = (DATA8 - 1) · 128μs B = (DATA9 - 1) · 128μs Where R, G, and B are the on-times of the respective LEDs and DATA7, DATA8, and DATA9 are the data inputs into Registers 7, 8, and 9, respectively. DATAN can be set to a value from 1 to 16 with the default DATAN value equal to 1. Since the AAT2834 supports 64 color/brightness combinations, DATAN can be set from 1 to 4. Address 10: RGB Timebase Register - T The overall period is set by the AAT2833/34's T register. Adjusting this register allows a user to adjust how often the RGB LED sequence is repeated. The longer the period, the smaller the effective duty cycle, and thus RGB light intensity (brightness) is reduced. The RGB period can be calculated using the following equation: T = [(DATA10 - 1) · 3 + 15] · 128μs Where T is the period of repetition and DATA10 is the data input into Register 10. In the AAT2833, DATA10 can be set to a value from 1 to 16, with the default DATA10 value equal to 1. In the AAT2834, DATA10 can be set from 1 to 4, with the default DATA10 value equal to 1. Please note that if the user sets the period to be smaller than the combined on-times (R+G+B), then the RGB sequence will automatically begin again once time T has been reached, whether or not all on-times have been completed. Address 11: RGB Mode Register The AAT2833/34's RGB mode register can have one of two DATA11 values. If DATA11 is set to 1 (the default), then each RGB LED on-time will be updated immediately after their respective register is set. If DATA11 is set to 2, then as the user sets the Red, Green, and Blue on-time registers, none of the LEDs will be updated until the timebase register is set. For example, if the user wants to set a certain Red-Green-Blue combinations, the Red on-time can be programmed first, followed by the Green ontime, followed by the Blue on-time, and then the RGB period T last. If DATA11 is set to 1, then after the Red on-time is programmed the user will see the Red LED turn on immediately. After the Green on-time is programmed, the Red-Green color combinations will appear, etc. If DATA11 is set to 2, then none of those intermediate colors will appear until the RGB period register T has been set and loaded. Address 12: RGB Current Level Register, ISINK The ISINK current level in the RGB LED can be adjusted by writing data to Register 12. The maximum current is two times (200%) the maximum backlight current set by RBSET (see Table 7). By increasing or decreasing the current, the brightness level can easily be changed for any particular color combination. 2833.2007.09.1.0 13 AAT2833/34 240mA Total Display Solution for Portable Devices R T Data 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 RGB Current as % of BSET 0 33 66 100 133 167 200 IR = ISINK · IG = ISINK · G T B IB = ISINK · T Shutdown Since the channel backlight power returns are the only power returns for all the LEDs, there is no leakage current if all channels are disabled. Applying a HIGH-to-LOW transition on the EN/SET pin and holding LOW for at least TOFF (500µs) will activate the AAT2833/34's shutdown mode. Data and Address registers are cleared (reset to 0) during shutdown. Table 7: Address 12, RGB Current Level Register (ISINK).

In the typical application, selecting RBSET = 280kΩ results in a maximum 30mA/channel LED current level. The relationship between RBSET and the maximum backlight current is illustrated graphically in Figure 4. The AAT2833/34's LED current control circuits have been optimized for full-scale current settings higher than 15mA, RBSET > 550kΩ. 45 40 35 η= η= PLEDs VLED1 · ILED1 + ... + VLED4 · ILED4 = PIN VIN · IIN 4 · VLEDX · ILEDX ; x = 1, 2, 3 or 4 and IIN = 4 · ILEDX VIN · IIN VLEDX η= V IN Due to the very low 1X mode quiescent current, the input current nearly equals the total output current delivered to the LEDs. Further, the low resistance bypass switch introduces a negligible voltage drop from input to output. The AAT2833/34 further maintains optimized performance and efficiency by detecting when the input voltage is not sufficient to sustain the LED bias current. The device automatically switches to 1.5X mode when the input voltage drops too low in relation to the LED forward voltages. In 1.5X mode, the output voltage can be boosted to 1.5X the input voltage. The 1.5X conversion ratio introduces a corresponding 0.5X increase in input current. For ideal conversion, the 1.5X mode efficiency is given by: η= η= IBLED (mA) 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 RBSET (kΩ) Figure 4: Maximum Backlight LED Current vs RBSET. PLEDs VLED1 · ILED1 + ... + VLED4 · ILED4 = PIN VIN · IIN 4 · VLEDX · ILEDX ; x = 1, 2, 3 or 4 and IIN = 1.5(4 · ILEDX) VIN · IIN IN Device Power Efficiency The AAT2833/34's power conversion efficiency depends on the charge pump mode of operation. By definition, device efficiency is expressed as the output power delivered to the LEDs divided by the total input power consumed. η= PLEDs VLED1 · ILED1 + ... + VLED4 · ILED4 = PIN VIN · IIN VLEDX η = 1.5V When the input voltage is sufficiently greater than the LED forward voltages, the device optimizes efficiency by operating in 1X mode. In 1X mode, the device is working as a bypass switch and passing the input supply directly to the output. By simplifying the conditions such that the LEDs have uniform VF, the power conversion efficiency can be approximated by: Similarly, when the input falls further, such that 1.5X mode can no longer sustain the LED bias currents, the AAT2833/34 will automatically switch to 2X mode. In 2X mode, the output voltage can be boosted to 2X the input voltage. The 2X conversion ratio introduces a corresponding 1X increase in input current. For ideal conversion, the 2X mode efficiency is given by: η= η= PLEDs VLED1 · ILED1 + ... + VLED4 · ILED4 = PIN VIN · IIN 4 · VLEDX · ILEDX ; x = 1, 2, 3 or 4 and IIN = 2(4 · ILEDX) VIN · IIN VLEDX η = 2V IN 2833.2007.09.1.0 15 AAT2833/34 240mA Total Display Solution for Portable Devices LED Selection The AAT2833/34 is designed to drive high-intensity white LEDs. It is particularly suitable for LEDs with an operating forward voltage in the range of 4.2V to 1.5V. The AAT2833/34 can also drive other loads that have similar characteristics to white LEDs. For various load types, the AAT2833/34 provides a high current, programmable, ideal constant current channel/sink. PCB Layout To achieve adequate electrical and thermal performance, careful attention must be given to the printed circuit board (PCB) layout. In the worst-case operating condition, the chip must dissipate considerable power at full load. Adequate heat-sinking must be achieved to ensure intended operation. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate an example PCB layout. The bottom of the package features an exposed metal pad. The exposed pad acts, thermally, to transfer heat from the chip and, electrically, as a ground connection. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for the AAT2833/34 package can be significantly reduced by following a couple of important PCB design guidelines. The PCB area directly underneath the package should be plated so that the exposed pad can be mated to the top layer PCB copper during the reflow process. Multiple copper plated thru-holes should be used to electrically and thermally connect the AAT2833/34’s exposed pad area to additional ground plane(s). The chip ground is internally connected to both the paddle and to the AGND and PGND pins. It is good practice to connect the GND pins to the exposed pad area with traces as shown in Figure 5. The flying capacitors (C1 and C2), input capacitor (C4), and output capacitor (C3) should be connected as close as possible to the IC. In addition to the external passive components being placed as close as possible to the IC, all traces connecting the AAT2833/34 should be as short and wide as possible to minimize path resistance and potential coupling. Capacitor Selection Careful selection of the four external capacitors CIN, C1, C2, and COUT are 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 is defined as a resistance that is less than 100mΩ. X7R and X5R ceramic capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use with the AAT2833/34. For the input (CIN) and output (COUT) capacitors, a 2.2µF or greater value is recommended, and a 1µF or greater value is recommended for the flying (C1/C2) capacitors. 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. 16 2833.2007.09.1.0 AAT2833/34 240mA Total Display Solution for Portable Devices Pin #1 Figure 5: AAT2833/34 Package PCB Layout.
