AAT1278
1.5A Single Flash LED Driver
General Description
Features
The AAT1278 is a high-efficiency, 1.5A high-current
boost converter for LED photo flash applications. It
maintains output current regulation by switching the
internal high-side and low-side switch transistors, pulsewidth modulated at a fixed frequency of 2MHz. The high
switching frequency allows the use of a small external
inductor and output capacitor, making the AAT1278 ideally suited in all single cell, Li-ion-powered applications.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Skyworks' proprietary AS2Cwire™ (Advanced Simple
Serial Control™) serial digital interface is used to enable,
disable, configure, and program the operation of the
AAT1278. Using the AS2Cwire interface, the movie-mode
current level for each LED, and the flash-to-movie-mode
current ratio can be programmed to one of 16 levels. The
AAT1278 includes a separate Flash Enable input to initiate the flash operation and a Flash Inhibit pin which
reduces the flash current to movie-mode levels during
high battery demand.

The AAT1278 contains a thermal management system to
protect the device in the event of an output short-circuit
condition. Built-in circuitry prevents excessive inrush
current during start-up. The shutdown feature reduces
quiescent current to less than 1.0μA.
The AAT1278 is available in a Pb-free, thermally-enhanced
CSP-12 package and operates over the -40°C to 85°C
temperature range.

Functional Description
The AAT1278 is a boost converter with a current regulated output designed to drive high current white LED
used in camera flash applications. The AAT1278 has a
constant current sink channel to accurately regulate the
current flow through a high current, high intensity white
flash LED. The AAT1278 has two basic operating modes;
a flash mode controlled by the FLEN pin and the movie/
torch light mode controlled through the AS2Cwire interface.
Flash Mode
A flash pulse may be initiated by pulling the FLEN input
pin from a logic low-to-high state, which initiates a flash
pulse. The maximum flash current in the AAT1278 is set
by an external resistor, RSET, which sets the flash current
and the maximum movie-mode current.
In mobile GSM systems where the phone remains in
constant contact with the base station by regular communication, a FLINH pin is provided to prevent both the
camera flash and PA transmission pulses from occurring
simultaneously. This avoids potential dips to the Li-ion
battery voltage below the system’s undervoltage lockout
threshold (UVLO). During a flash event, strobing the
FLINH pin low-to-high reduces the LED current to the
default movie-mode current level for the duration of
FLINH. Strobing FLINH high-to-low instructs the AAT1278
to revert the flash LED current to its maximum level,
assuming that the FLEN pin is still active (high).
Movie (Torch) Mode
The movie / torch mode current level, and the flash to
maximum movie mode current ratio are programmed by
the AAT1278 AS2Cwire interface. The movie-mode current level can be adjusted to one of 16 steps using a
logarithmic scale where each code level is 1dB below the
previous code. The flash to maximum movie mode current ratio can be set from 2:1 to OFF with respect to the
maximum programmed flash current as set by the RSET
resistor. The manual FLEN signal has priority over movie-mode operation.

DATA SHEET
AAT1278
1.5A Single Flash LED Driver
Movie mode operation is controlled entirely by the
AS2Cwire interface via the EN/SET pin. The FLEN signal
will override movie-mode AAT1278 operation when toggled to a logic high level. The part will not reenter movie
mode when FLEN is brought low. To reenter movie mode
after a flash event the part must be cycled off and back
on to reset the movie mode and reprogrammed via the
AS2Cwire interface to the desired movie mode operation.
Shutdown and Output Disconnect (True
Load Disconnect)
A typical synchronous step-up (boost) converter has a
conduction path from the input to the output via the
body diode of the P-channel MOSFET. The AAT1278
design disconnects this body diode from the output and
eliminates this conduction path. This enables the
AAT1278 to provide true load disconnect during shutdown and inrush current limit at turn-on.
Over-Voltage Protection
(Open Flash LED, Open Circuit)
The AAT1278 boost converter output is voltage limited by
internal overvoltage protection circuitry to prevent damage to the device in the event an open LED or open circuit
condition occurs. During an open circuit condition, the
output voltage will rise to 5.5V (typical). The OVP circuit
disables the boost converter to prevent the output voltage
from rising above 5.5V. Once the open circuit condition is
removed, normal boost operation will resume.
Short Circuit Protection
The AAT1278 is equipped with an auto-disable feature
for the flash LED channel. After the IC is enabled and
system start up commences, a test current of 2-3mA
(typical) is forced through the sink channel. The channel
will be disabled if the voltage of the SINK pin does not
drop to a predetermined threshold. This feature is very
convenient for disabling the current sink in the event the
flash LED fails to a short circuit. This small test current
is added to the set output current in both Flash and
movie mode conditions.
Over-Temperature Protection
The AAT1278 has internal thermal protection circuitry to
disable the device if the internal power dissipation exceeds
a preset thermal limit. The junction over-temperature
threshold is 140°C with 15°C of temperature hysteresis.
During flash or movie-mode operation, if an environmen-
10
tal condition, flash current sink, or the boost converter
causes the internal die temperature to rise above 140°C,
the boost converter will be shut down. The boost converter output operation will automatically recover when
the over-temperature fault condition is removed.
Application Information
Flash Mode LED Current
Flash sink current can be programmed up to a maximum
of 1.5A. The maximum flash current is set by the RSET
resistor. For the desired flash current, the resistor value
can be calculated using the following equation:
RSET =
1A
∙ 162kΩ
IFL(MAX)
A flash event is initiated by asserting the FLEN pin. A
flash event is automatically terminated when FLEN is
deasserted. Any time that the FLINH pin is asserted, the
default movie-mode current level will appear at FL channel. The default movie mode current level will be maintained on FL as long as the FLINH and FLEN pins are
asserted. In addition to setting the flash current via RSET,
the flash current can be changed after FLEN is asserted
by programming the movie mode current register with
16 different steps.
AS2Cwire Control
of Movie Mode Operation
In the AAT1278 control of the movie mode operation is
managed by the Advanced Simple Serial Control
(AS2Cwire) interface. AS2Cwire relies on the number of
rising edges of the EN/SET pin to address and load internal data registers. Referring to Table 1:
Address 0 controls the movie mode (MM) current level
as a percentage of the maximum movie mode current
level.
Address 3 sets the maximum possible current for movie
mode operation. The maximum movie mode current is
set as a fraction of the flash current with a peak value
of 1/2 and default value of 1/7.3.
The last column in Table 1 shows the default values for
each of the address registers.

Table 1: AS2Cwire Serial Interface Addressing.
AS2Cwire Serial Interface
AS2Cwire latches data or address after the EN/SET pin
has been held high for longer than tLAT (500μs). Address
or 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, and Address 3 by 20
rising edges. Data is inclusively applied to any number of
rising edges between 1 and 16. A typical write protocol
is a burst of EN/SET rising edges which signify a particular address that is followed by a pause with EN/SET held
high for the prescribed tLAT timeout period, then a burst
of rising edges signifying data, and a tLAT timeout for the
data registers. Once an address is set, then multiple
writes to the corresponding data register are allowed.
Address 0 is the default address on the first rising edge
after the AAT1278 has been disabled. When EN/SET is
transitioned from high to low and held low longer than
tOFF (500μs), the device enters a shutdown mode and
draws less than 1uA from the input supply. All data and
address are cleared (reset to 0) during shutdown.
AS2Cwire addressing allows for control of the movie
mode output current, and the ratio of movie-mode current to flash current. If there are no programmed write
instructions applied to the EN/SET pin prior to the assertion of the FLEN pin and the device is enabled, then all
registers will be loaded with their default values shown in
Table 1. In the event that the number of rising edges
applied at the EN/SET pin is less than 17, the internal
state machine will interpret instruction to program the
output currents to the desired current level for moviemode operation.
Movie Mode Current – Address 0
The AAT1278 movie mode current settings are controlled using the AS2Cwire interface. The default ratio
between the flash current level and maximum movie
mode current level is 7.3:1.
For example, if an RSET value of 107kΩ is chosen, then
the flash current is set to 1500mA. For movie mode
operation, the maximum current available is then:
IFL(MAX)

Flash to Maximum Movie Mode
Current Ratio – Address 3
The maximum movie mode current is a fixed ratio of the
flash current controlled by Address 3. The ratio may be
varied from 2:1 to OFF in 16 linear steps as shown in
Table 3. The default value for Address 3 is Data = 4 and
represents a flash to maximum movie mode current level
of 7.3 to 1. The default maximum movie mode current
can be calculated:
IFL(MAX)
IMOVIE MODE = 7.3
For example, if an RSET value of 107kΩ is chosen, then
the flash current is set to 1500mA. For movie mode
operation, the maximum current available is then:
IMOVIE MODE =
1500mA
= 206mA

The maximum movie mode current level can be calculated using the following equation:

Shutdown
Since the flash current sink is the only power returns for
the flash LED loads, there is no leakage current to load
if all the sink switches are disabled. When the EN/SET
pin is held low for an amount of time greater than tOFF
(500μs), the AAT1278 flash boost converter section
enters shutdown mode and draws less than 1μA from the
input power source. All data and address registers for
the flash and/or movie mode are cleared (reset to 0)
during shutdown.
Selecting the Boost Inductor
The AAT1278 controller utilizes PWM control and the
switching frequency is fixed. To maintain 2MHz maximum
switching frequency and stable operation, a 1μH inductor
is recommended. 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 performed to ensure that the inductor does not saturate or
exhibit excessive temperature rise.

1.5A Single Flash LED Driver
Selecting the Boost Capacitors
In general, it is a good design practice to place a decoupling capacitor (input capacitor) between the IN and
ground. An input capacitor in the range of 2.2μF to 10μF
is recommended. A larger input capacitor in this application may be required for stability, transient response,
and/or ripple performance. The high output ripple inherent in the boost converter necessitates the use of 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 AAT1278 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 selected to maintain the
output load without significant voltage droop (∆VOUT) during the power switch ON interval. A 2.2μF ceramic output
capacitor is recommended (see Table 4). Typically, 6.3V
or 10V rated capacitors are required for this flash LED
boost output application. Ceramic capacitors selected as
small as 0603 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 within acceptable limits. Voltage
de-rating can minimize this factor, but results may vary
with package size among specific manufacturers. To
maintain stable operation at full load, the output capacitor should be selected to maintain ∆VOUT between 100mV
and 200mV. The boost converter input current flows dur-
ing both ON and OFF switching intervals. The input ripple
current is less than the output ripple and, as a result, less
input capacitance is required.
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 AAT1278 1.5A
step-up regulator is shown in Figures 3 and 4. The following PCB layout guidelines should be considered:
1. Minimize the distance from capacitor CIN and COUT’s
negative terminals to the PGND pins. This is especially true with output capacitor COUT, which conducts
high ripple current from the output to the PGND pins.
2. Minimize the distance under the inductor between IN
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 PGND connections of CIN and
COUT.
4. Consider additional PCB exposed area for the flash
LED to maximize heatsinking capability. This may be
necessary when using high current application and
long flash duration application.
