The device requires only four external components: two ceramic capacitors for the charge pump flying capacitors, one ceramic capacitor for CIN, and one ceramic capacitor for COUT. The charge pump is designed to deliver regulated load currents up to 800mA. The dual stage charge pump section contains soft-start circuitry to prohibit excessive inrush current during start-up. System efficiency is maximized with a tri-mode, dual stage charge pump topology. The internal clock oscillator at 1MHz allows the use of small external components. 8 The tri-mode charge pump operation further optimizes power conversion efficiency. Depending upon the variance of load current (at different modes), input voltage, and nominal LED forward voltage, the charge pump will operate in a 1X, 1.5X, or 2X mode to generate the output voltage required to power the load for a given controlled constant current. This results in significant power savings over voltage doubling architectures, especially when the LEDs are also operated at lower current levels in movie, viewing, or flashlight modes. S2Cwire Serial Interface The AAT3174 utilizes Analogic Tech's single wire S2Cwire interface to enable/disable the charge pump and adjust the output current at 16 current levels. Each code defines the output current to be a percentage of the maximum current set by the resistor at the RSET pin (see Table 1). 3174.2006.05.1.2 AAT3174 High Current, High Efficiency Charge Pump Data Total Output (% of IMAX) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 100.0 89.1 79.4 70.8 63.1 56.2 50.1 44.7 39.8 35.5 31.6 28.2 25.1 22.4 20.0 0.0 The S2Cwire interface records rising edges of the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 16 individual current level settings with Code 1 reserved for maximum 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 AAT3174 enters into shutdown mode and draws less than 1A from VIN. Data and address registers are reset to 0 during shutdown.

Flash/Torch Control Using the RSET Pin For an open-drain NMOS I/O port output configuration, the line is pulled low to GND or left floating, according to state. To calculate the appropriate R1 and R2 resistor values, first calculate the R1 resistor value needed for the desired torch level LED current: An alternative method can be used for flash/torch control that eliminates the need to use the S2Cwire single-wire interface. By using any typical digital I/O port, an additional enable can be created (see Figure 1). The I/O port output configuration can be any one of open-drain NMOS, open-drain PMOS, or push-pull type. The control will always act as an active-low flash enable or, equivalently, an active-high torch enable (see Table 2).

A value that is slightly larger than RSET, calculated from above, is appropriate. Calculate R2 and then calculate the torch mode current level that results: R2 = RSET * R1 R1 - RSET ILED (torch) = 600mA * 187k * Table 3: Open-Drain I/O Example Resistor Values. If the I/O port must be configured as an open-drain PMOS type output, the appropriate equations can be generated from these same concepts. As done in the previous example, the necessary values can then be calculated. As a reference, the equations applicable to the PMOS case are: R1 = 600mA * 187k ILED (flash) VIO -1 0.7 R2 = ILED (torch) 1 R1 600mA * 187k The value to use for VIO must come from the I/O supply voltage used in the system. 0.7V is the typical value of the VRSET parameter found in the Electrical Characteristics. For a push-pull I/O port output configuration, first calculate the overall RSET value needed for the desired flash level LED current: RSET = 3174.2006.05.1.2 VIO R 2 - R1 R1 * R2 0.7V * R2 Once again, the current and resistance values used in the equations come from the conditions placed on the IDX parameter of the Electrical Characteristics table. 0.7V is the typical value for the VRSET parameter. The value to use for VIO must come from the I/O supply voltage used in the system. Example standard 1% values are provided in Table 4.

In all of the approaches mentioned, the open-drain NMOS or PMOS type configurations offer the most flexibility for current level selection. When configured as an output, if the I/O port is only push-pull type, then the equivalent open-drain NMOS can also be realized. To realize this, activate the port as output only when driving the line low. Otherwise, to release the line, set the port to be tri-stated. 600mA * 187k ILED (flash) 11 AAT3174 High Current, High Efficiency Charge Pump Device Power Efficiency The AAT3174 power conversion efficiency 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. = 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. The power conversion efficiency can be approximated by, V V *I = F LED F VIN * IIN VIN 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 AAT3174 further maintains optimized performance and efficiency by detecting when the input voltage is not sufficient to sustain LED current. The device automatically switches to 1.5X mode when the input voltage drops too low in relation to the LED forward voltage. In 1.5X mode, the output voltage can be boosted to 3/2 the input voltage. The 3/2 conversion ratio introduces a corresponding 1/2 increase in input current. For ideal conversion, the 1.5X mode efficiency is given by: = VF VF * ILED = VIN * 1.5IIN 1.5 * VIN Similarly, when the input falls further, such that 1.5X mode can no longer sustain LED current, the device will automatically switch to 2X mode. In 2X mode, the output voltage can be boosted to twice the input voltage. The doubling conversion ratio introduces a corresponding doubling of the input 12 current. For ideal conversion, the 2X mode efficiency is given by: = VF VF * ILED = VIN * 2IIN 2 * VIN LED Selection The AAT3174 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 charge pump device can also drive other loads that have similar characteristics to white LEDs. For various load types, the AAT3174 provides a high-current, programmable ideal constant current source. Capacitor Selection Careful selection of the four external capacitors CIN, C1, C2, 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 100m. A value of 1F for the flying capacitors is a good starting point when choosing capacitors. If the LED current sinks are only programmed for light current levels, then the capacitor size may be decreased. Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use with the AAT3174. 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. 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 capac3174.2006.05.1.2 AAT3174 High Current, High Efficiency Charge Pump itors and can range to more than several ohms for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (JA) for the package can be significantly reduced by following a couple of important PCB design guidelines. Ceramic Capacitor Materials The PCB area directly underneath the package should be plated so that the exposed paddle can be mated to the top layer PCB copper during the re-flow process. This area should also be connected to the top layer ground pour when available. Further, multiple copper plated thru-holes should be used to electrically and thermally connect the top surface paddle area to additional ground plane(s) and/or the bottom layer ground pour. Ceramic capacitors less than 0.1F 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 are often available in lower-cost dielectrics, but capacitors greater than 4.7F are not typically required for AAT3174 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. The chip ground is internally connected to both the paddle and the GND pin. The GND pin conducts large currents and it is important to minimize any differences in potential that can result between the GND pin and exposed paddle. It is good practice to connect the GND pin to the exposed paddle area using a trace as shown in Figure 2. Thermal Protection The AAT3174 has a thermal protection circuit that will shut down the charge pump if the die temperature rises above the thermal limit, as is the case during a short-circuit of the OUT pin. PCB Layout To achieve adequate electrical and thermal performance, careful attention must be given to the 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. Figure 2 illustrates an example of an adequate PCB layout. The bottom of the package features an exposed metal paddle. The exposed paddle acts, thermally, to transfer heat from the chip and, electrically, as a ground connection. 3174.2006.05.1.2 Figure 2: Example PCB Layout. The flying capacitors C1 and C2 should be connected close to the chip. Trace length should be kept short to minimize path resistance and potential coupling. The input and output capacitors should also be placed as close to the chip as possible. 13 AAT3174 High Current, High Efficiency Charge Pump Ordering Information Package Marking1 Part Number (Tape and Reel)2 TDFN33-12 RSXYY AAT3174IWP-T1 All AnalogicTech products are offered in Pb-free packaging.
