General Description
The AAT3174 is a high output current, high efficiency,
low noise, low profile charge pump DC/DC converter. The
device is ideal for multi-functional LED photo-flash appli-
cations where solution cost, size, and efficiency are
critical.
The AAT3174 is capable of driving a regulated output
current up to 800mA. Output current levels can be eas-
ily programmed in 16 steps through Skyworks’ Simple
Serial Control™ (S2Cwire™) interface controlled by a
single microcontroller GPIO line. This allows smooth
transitions and flexible adjustment of brightness in flash
or other lighting modes. The maximum output current
can also be set with an external RSET resistor.
The tri-mode (1X/1.5X/2X) operation of the internal
charge pump offers excellent power efficiency through-
out the output current range for both flash and movie
modes. Combined with a low external parts count (two
1μF flying capacitors and two small bypass capacitors at
VIN and OUT), the AAT3174 is ideally suited for small
battery-powered applications.
The AAT3174 has a thermal management system to pro-
tect the device in the event of a short-circuit condition at
the output pin. Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents
excessive inrush current during start-up. The shutdown
feature disconnects the load from VIN and reduces quies-
cent current to less than 1μA.
The AAT3174 is available in a Pb-free, thermally-enhanced
12-pin 3x3mm TDFN package and is specified over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Functional Description
The AAT3174 is a high efficiency, low noise, dual stage
tri-mode 1X/1.5X/2X charge pump device intended for
photo-flash LED applications. 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 sec-
tion 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.
The tri-mode charge pump operation further optimizes
power conversion efficiency. Depending upon the vari-
ance 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 sav-
ings 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 Skyworks single wire S2Cwire inter-
face 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 cur-
rent set by the resistor at the RSET pin (see Table 1).

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 num-
ber 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 1μA from VIN. Data and address regis-
ters are reset to 0 during shutdown.
Application Information
Flash/Torch Control Using the RSET Pin
An alternative method can be used for flash/torch con-
trol 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).

According to I/O port type, the following equations can
be used to calculate appropriate resistor values.
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:
600mA · 187kΩ

R1 =
Next, choose R2 based on the desired flash level LED cur-
rent:
R1 · 600mA · 187kΩ
R1 · ILED (flash) - 600mA · 187kΩ
R2 =
The current and resistance values used in the equations
come from the conditions placed on the IDX parameter of
the Electrical Characteristics table.
For examples of standard 1% values where the LED flash
current level is targeted for 700mA, see Table 3.

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 exam-
ple, the necessary values can then be calculated.
As a reference, the equations applicable to the PMOS
case are:

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 calcu-
late the overall RSET value needed for the desired flash
level LED current:
600mA · 187kΩ
ILED (flash)
RSET =
Next, choose a reasonable value for R1. A value that is
slightly larger than RSET

priate. Calculate R2 and then calculate the torch mode

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 flexi-
bility 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.

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.
η = POU
T
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,
η
=
VF · ILED
VIN · IIN
VF
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 intro-
duces 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 automati-
cally 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:
η
= =
VF · ILED
VIN · 1.5IIN
VF
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 out-
put voltage can be boosted to twice the input voltage.
The doubling conversion ratio introduces a correspond-
ing doubling of the input current. For ideal conversion,
the 2X mode efficiency is given by:
η
= =
VF · ILED
VIN · 2IIN
VF
2 · VIN
LED Selection
The AAT3174 is designed to drive high-intensity white
LEDs. It is particularly suitable for LEDs with an operat-
ing 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, pro-
grammable 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 gen-
eral, low ESR may be defined as less than 100m. A
value of 1μF 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 counter-
parts. 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 capaci-
tors 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 connec-
tions, 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 com-
posed of X7R, X5R, Z5U, or Y5V dielectric materials.

Large ceramic capacitors are often available in lower-
cost dielectrics, but capacitors greater than 4.7μF 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.
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 lay-
out. 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.
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (JA) for the
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 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.
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.
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.

2. Sample stock is generally held on part numbers listed in BOLD.
3. The leadless package family, which includes QFN, TQFN, DFN, TDFN and STDFN, has exposed copper (unplated) at the end of the lead terminals due to the manufacturing
process. A solder fillet at the exposed copper edge cannot be guaranteed and is not required to ensure a proper bottom solder connection.
