AAT3176A
500mA LED Flash Driver
General Description
Features
The AAT3176A is a high output current, high efficiency,
low noise, low profile charge pump converter IC, ideal for
multi-function LED photo-flash applications where solution cost, size, and efficiency are critical. The charge
pump is capable of delivering up to 500mA of output current and can be easily programmed in 16 steps with a
single GPIO output through Skyworks' S2Cwire™ (Simple
Serial Control) interface. This allows smooth transitions
and flexible adjustment of brightness in flash or other
lighting modes. Operating at a fast 1MHz switching frequency, the dual-mode (1x/2x) operation of the internal
charge pump offers excellent power efficiency for both
flash and movie modes and combined with a low external
parts count (one 1μF flying capacitors and small bypass
capacitors at VIN and OUT), the AAT3176A is ideally
suited for small, battery-powered applications.

The AAT3176A has a thermal management system to
protect the device in the event of short-circuit, open-circuit, and over-temperature condition. Built-in soft-start
circuitry prevents excessive in-rush current during startup. The shutdown feature disconnects the load from VIN
and reduces quiescent current to less than 1.0μA.
The AAT3176A is available in the 2.2 x 2.2mm Pb-free
10-pin TDFN package.

Functional Description
The AAT3176A is a high efficiency, low noise, 1x/2x
regulating charge pump device is intended for photo
flash LED applications. The AAT3176A requires only 3
external components: one 1.0μF ceramic capacitor for
the charge pump flying capacitor, one 4.7μF ceramic
capacitor for CIN, and one 2.2μF to 4.7 μF ceramic capacitor for COUT filtering.
The charge pump is designed to deliver up to 500mA
load current at VIN = 3.6V. The dual mode charge pump
section contains soft start circuitry to prohibit an excessive in rush current during start up. System efficiency is
maximized with a 1x/2x mode, dual mode charge-pump
topology. The internal clock oscillator frequency of 1MHz
allows the use of small external components.
Depending upon the variation of load current (at different modes), input voltage, and LED forward voltage, the
charge pump will operate in 1x or 2x mode to generate
the output voltage required to power the load for the
required current. This results in significant power savings over pure voltage doubling architectures, especially
when the LEDs are operated at lower current levels in
movie, viewing, or flash modes.
The AAT3176A also includes open- and short-circuit protection to deal with fault situations. When the flash LED
is not connected (an open fault occurs), the VOUT will be
limited to 6V; When a flash LED short fault occurs, the
total input current is limited to typical 25mA.
S2Cwire Serial Interface
The AAT3176A utilizes Skyworks' single-wire S2Cwire
interface to enable/disable the charge pump and adjust
the output current level to one of sixteen different current levels. Each DATA defines the output current as a
percentage of the maximum current set by the resistor
at the RSET pin, as detailed in Table 1.
The S2Cwire interface records rising edges of the EN/SET
pin and decodes them into 16 individual current level

settings, with DATA 1 reserved for maximum current.
Once EN/SET has been held in the logic high state for
time TLAT, the programmed current is set at the current
source outputs. For subsequent current level programming, the number of rising edges corresponding to the
desired DATA must be entered on the EN/SET pin. Figure
1 shows the S2CwireTM interface timing.
Flash and Movie Mode
LED Current Setting
The AAT3176A has two independent LED current setting
pins for LED current in flash and movie mode: RSETF and
RSETM. The MODE pin is designed to select which current
set flows through the LED. When MODE is high, the current set by RSETF is the maximum LED current; when
MODE is low, the maximum current is set by RSETM. The
calculation method of the LED current set resistor value
RSET is the same for either mode and can be calculated
using the following formula:
When EN/SET is held low for an amount of time greater
than TOFF, the AAT3176A enters shutdown mode and
draws less than 1μA from VIN. Data and Address registers are reset to 0 during shutdown.

DATA SHEET
AAT3176A
500mA LED Flash Driver
LED current can be set to levels lower than maximum via
S2C DATA transferred through the EN/SET pin, corresponding to percentage of the maximum setting value.
In movie mode, continuous high level of EN/SET lights
the LED light continuously at the programmed current.
In flash mode, EN/SET high level duration controls flash
time; the maximum flash time is 1 second for 500mA
LED current limited by the thermal characteristics of the
package. Figure 2 shows the operating waveform of the
AAT3176A driving an LED for 500ms flash time in flash
mode with 500mA LED current at 3.6V VIN (2x mode).
VIN
(5V/div)
power dissipation occurs when the mode transfers from
1x to 2x. If the die temperature rises above the thermal
limit of 140°C, the internal thermal protection circuit
activates to shut down the charge pump and recovers
when the die temperature drops below 125°C.
To avoid entering thermal protection in flash mode at the
500mA high flash LED current setting, the flash time
should not exceed 1 second at 25°C ambient temperature. Longer flash time causes the junction temperature
to increase quickly, causing thermal shutdown. The LED
current recovers automatically when the junction temperature decreases.
In movie mode, maximum continuous current value is
not limited by the package thermal resistance but by the
integrated metal current density. The maximum value
should not exceed 150mA.

Thermal Considerations
The AAT3176A is designed to deliver continuous LED
current in movie mode. The limiting characteristic for
maximum safe operating output LED current is package
power dissipation. In order to obtain high operating currents, careful device layout and circuit operating conditions must be taken into account. The following discussions assume that the AAT3176A is mounted on a
printed circuit board utilizing the minimum recommended footprint as stated in the “Printed Circuit Board
Layout Recommendations” section of this datasheet.
At any given ambient temperature (TA), the maximum
package power dissipation can be determined by the following equation:
PD(MAX) =
(TJ(MAX) - TA)
θJA
The AAT3176A is available in the TDFN2.2x2.2-10 package, which has 71.4°C/W of thermal resistance (θJA).
With 125°C TJ(MAX), its PD(MAX) is 1.4W. The maximum
The power conversion efficiency of the AAT3176A
depends on the charge pump mode. By definition, device
efficiency is expressed as the output power delivered to
the LED divided by the total input power consumed.
η=
POUT
PIN
When the input voltage is sufficiently greater than the
LED forward voltage, 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. Due to the very low 1x mode quiescent
current, the input current nearly equals the current
delivered to the LED. Further, the low-impedance bypass
switch introduces negligible voltage drop from input to
output. The power conversion efficiency can be approximated by:
η=
VF · ILED VF

VIN · IIN

The AAT3176A maintains optimized performance and
efficiency by detecting. When the input voltage is not
sufficient to sustain LED current, the device automatically switches to 2x mode. For ideal conversion, the 2x
mode efficiency is given by:

LED Selection
A good LED lighting application circuit not only determined by the LED driver but also the LED selected. A
higher luminous efficacy LED emits a higher amount of
luminous flux (lumens) for a given power. Most LED
manufacturers' datasheets provide the luminous efficacy
by the luminous flux curve (LED forward current vs luminous flux). From the luminous flux curve, increasing the
LED forward current may increase the LED light;
increased LED forward current also increases LED forward voltage with higher rating.
The AAT3176A is designed to drive high-intensity white
LEDs. It is particularly suitable for LEDs with an operating forward voltage VF in the range of 4.2V to 1.5V. Low
forward voltage (VF) flash LED may make the 1x/2x
mode automatically transfer voltage point lower and get
higher efficiency at the mode transfer input voltage.
Capacitor Selection
Careful selection of the three external capacitors CIN, C1,
and COUT is important because they will affect turn-on
time, output ripple and transient performance. Optimum
performance is obtained when low ESR ceramic capacitors are used; in general, low ESR may be defined as
less than 100mΩ. A capacitor value of 1μF for all three
capacitors is a good starting point when choosing capacitors; a 2.2μF to 4.7μF value is suitable for input and
output capacitance.
12
Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use with the
AAT3176A. 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 to maximize
charge pump transient response. Since ceramic capacitors are non-polarized, they are not prone to incorrect
connection damage.
Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)
ESR is an important characteristic to consider when
selecting a capacitor. ESR is resistance internal to a
capacitor, which 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.
Printed Circuit Board
Layout Recommendations
When designing a PCB for the AAT3176A, the key requirements are:
1.
Place the flying capacitor CP 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.
3. Connect the exposed pad to the GND plane to
achieve the best power dissipation.
