Functional Description
The AAT3104 is a low-cost charge-pump solution
designed to drive up to four white LEDs. The charge
pump operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V power source and
converts it to voltage levels necessary to drive the LEDs.
LED current is individually controlled through integrated
current sources powered from the output of the charge
pump. Low 1x charge-pump output resistance and lowdrop voltage current sources allow the charge pump to
remain in 1x mode with an input voltage as low as 3.8V
and LED forward voltages of 3.5V. Once in 2x mode, the
charge pump monitors the input supply voltage and
automatically switches back to 1x mode when there is
sufficient input voltage.
The AAT3104 requires only three external components:
one 1μF ceramic capacitor for the charge pump flying
capacitor (CP), one 1μF ceramic input capacitor (CIN), one
8
IREF
GND
5 Bits DAC
1μF ceramic output capacitor (COUT). The four constant
current outputs of the AAT3104 (D1 to D4) can drive four
individual LEDs with a maximum current of 30mA each.
Skyworks' S2Cwire serial interface enables the AAT31041/-2 and changes the current source magnitudes through
the EN/SET pin.
S2Cwire Serial Interface
The LED output current of the AAT3104 is controlled by
Skyworks' S2Cwire serial interface. Since the LED current
is programmable, no PWM 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 LED current can be changed quickly and easily. Also, the non-pulsating LED current reduc-

DATA SHEET
AAT3104
Low Cost 1x/2x Four-Channel Charge Pump WLED Driver
es system noise and improves LED reliability. The S2Cwire
interface relies on the number of rising edges to the EN/
SET pin to set the register. A typical write protocol is a
burst of EN/SET rising edges, followed by a pause with
EN/SET held high for at least tLAT (500μs). The programmed current is then seen at the current source outputs. When EN/SET is held low for an amount of time
longer than tOFF (500μs), the AAT3104 enters into shutdown mode and draws less than 1μA from the input and
the internal data register is reset to zero.
The AAT3104-1/2’s serial interface reduces the LED current on each rising pulse of the enable input. If the
AAT3104 is in shutdown, the first rising edge of the EN/
SET input turns on the LED driver to the maximum current. Successive rising edges decrease the LED current
as shown in Table 1 and Figure 2 for the AAT3104-1. For
the AAT3104-2, Table 2 and Figure 3 illustrate a 32-step
LED current control profile.

Applications Information
LED Selection
The AAT3104 is specifically designed for driving white
LEDs. However, the device design will allow the AAT3104
to drive most types of LEDs with forward voltage specifications ranging from 2.2V to 4.7V. LED applications
may include mixed arrangements for display backlighting, keypad display, and any other application needing a
constant current source generated from a varying input
voltage. Since the D1 to D4 constant current sources are
matched with negligible supply voltage dependence, the
constant current channels will be matched regardless of
the specific LED forward voltage (VF) levels.
The low dropout current sources in the AAT3104 maximize performance and make it capable of driving LEDs
with high forward voltages. Multiple channels can be
combined to obtain a higher LED drive current without
complication.
All unused LED source pins should be connected to GND
or left floating. Do not connect to the OUT pin.
Device Switching Noise Performance
The AAT3104 operates at a fixed frequency of approximately 1MHz to control noise and limit harmonics that
can interfere with the RF operation of mobile communication devices. Back-injected noise appearing on the
input pin of the charge pump is 20mV peak-to peak,
typically ten times less than inductor-based DC/DC boost
converter white LED backlight solutions. The AAT3104
soft-start feature prevents noise transient effects associated with inrush currents during start-up of the charge
pump circuit.

Shutdown
Since the current switches are the only power returns for
all loads, there is no leakage current when all source
switches are disabled. To enter shutdown operation, the
EN/SET input for the AAT3104-1/2 should be strobed
low. After tOFF (500μs), AAT3104 will be shut down and
typically draws less than 1μA from the input. Registers
are reset to 0 in shutdown.

sections accounts only for efficiency of the charge pump
section itself. Due to the unique circuit architecture and
design of the AAT3104, it is very difficult to measure
efficiency in terms of a percent value comparing input
power over output power.
Since the AAT3104 outputs are pure constant current
sources and typically drive individual loads, it is difficult
to measure the output voltage for a given output to
derive an overall output power measurement. For any
given application, white LED forward voltage levels can
differ, yet the output drive current will be maintained as
a constant.
This makes quantifying output power a difficult task
when taken in the context of comparing to other white
LED driver circuit topologies. A better way to quantify
total device efficiency is to observe the total input power
to the device for a given LED current drive level. The
best white LED driver for a given application should be
based on trade-offs of size, external component count,
reliability, operating range, and total energy usage, not
just output power over input power efficiency.
The AAT3104 efficiency may be quantified under very
specific conditions and is dependent upon the input voltage versus the output voltage across the loads applied

Low Cost 1x/2x Four-Channel Charge Pump WLED Driver
to outputs D1 through for a given constant current setting. Depending on the combination of VIN and voltages
sensed at the current sources, the device will operate in
load switch mode. When any one of the voltages sensed
at the current sources nears dropout, the device will
operate in 2X charge pump mode.
Each of these modes will yield different efficiency values.
Refer to the following two sections for explanations for
each operational mode.
1X Mode Efficiency
The AAT3104 1X mode is operational at all times and
functions alone to enhance device power conversion efficiency when VIN is higher than the voltage across the
load. When in 1X mode, voltage conversion efficiency is
defined as output power divided by input power.
An expression for the ideal efficiency (η) in 1X chargepump mode can be expressed as:

η (%) = V · 100

For a charge pump led driver with VF of 3.2V and 4.2V
input voltage, the theoretical efficiency is 76%. Due to
internal switching losses and IC quiescent current consumption, the actual efficiency can be measured at 73%.
2X Charge Pump Mode Efficiency
The AAT3104 contains a charge pump which will boost
the input supply voltage in the event where VIN is less
than the voltage required to supply the output. The efficiency (η) can be simply defined as a linear voltage
regulator with an effective output voltage that is equal to
one and two times the input voltage. Efficiency (η) for an
ideal 2X charge pump can typically be expressed as the
output power divided by the input power.
η=

In addition, with an ideal 2X charge pump, the output
current may be expressed as 1/3 of the input current.
The expression to define the ideal efficiency (η) can be
rewritten as

For a charge pump current source driver with VF of 3.2V
and 2.7V input voltage, the theoretical efficiency is 59%.
Due to internal switching losses and IC quiescent current
consumption, the actual efficiency can be measured at
57%. Efficiency will decrease substantially as load current drops below 1mA or when the voltage level at VIN
approaches the voltage level at VOUT.
Additional Applications
The current sources of the AAT3104 can be combined
freely to drive higher current levels through one LED. As
an example, a single LED can be driven at 120mA by
combining together D1 through D4 outputs.
For lower-cost applications, the flying capacitor can be
removed; C+ and C- should be floating. This will force
AAT3104 to operate in 1X mode. To maintain regulated
LED current, the input supply voltage has to be higher
than the charge-pump's dropout voltage in 1X mode plus
the forward voltage of the LED at the preset LED
current.
Capacitor Selection
Careful selection of the three external capacitors CIN, CP,
and COUT is 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 may be defined as less than 100mΩ. A value of
1μF for all four capacitors is a good starting point when
choosing capacitors. If the constant current sources are
only programmed for light current levels, then the
capacitor size may be decreased.
Capacitor Characteristics
Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended
over all other types of capacitors for use with the
AAT3104. 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 nonpolarized. Low ESR ceramic capacitors help maximizing
charge pump transient response. Since ceramic capacitors are non-polarized, they are not prone to incorrect
connection damage.

Equivalent Series Resistance
ESR is an important characteristic to consider when
selecting a capacitor. ESR is a resistance internal to a
capacitor that is caused by the leads, internal connections, size or area, material composition, and ambient
temperature. Capacitor ESR is typically measured in milliohms for ceramic capacitors and can range to more
than several ohms for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic
capacitors.
Ceramic Capacitor Materials
Ceramic capacitors less than 0.1μF are typically made
from NPO or C0G materials. NPO and C0G materials generally have tight tolerance and are very stable over temperature. Larger capacitor values are usually composed
of X7R, X5R, Z5U, or Y5V dielectric materials. Large
ceramic capacitors (i.e., larger than 2.2μF) are often
available in low cost Y5V and Z5U dielectrics, but capac-
12
itors larger than 1μF are not typically required for
AAT3104 applications. Capacitor area is another contributor to ESR. Capacitors that are physically large will
have a lower ESR when compared to an equivalent
material smaller capacitor. These larger devices can
improve circuit transient response when compared to an
equal value capacitor in a smaller package size.
Evaluation Board Layout
When designing a PCB for the AAT3104, the key requirements are:
1. Place two flying capacitors C1 and C2 as close to the
chip as possible; otherwise 2x mode performance
will be compromised.
2. Place input and output decoupling capacitors as
close to the chip as possible to reduce switching
noise and output ripple.
