A high voltage rectifier, power inductor, output capacitor, and sense resistors are required to implement a DC/DC constant current boost converter. The input disconnect switch is activated when a valid input voltage is present and the EN/SET pin is pulled high. The slew rate control on the P-channel MOSFET ensures minimal inrush current as the output voltage is charged to the input voltage, prior to the switching of the N-channel power MOSFET. Monotonic turn-on is guaranteed by the integrated soft-start circuitry. Soft-start eliminates output voltage overshoot across the full input voltage range and all loading conditions. The maximum current through the LED string is set by the ballast resistor and the feedback voltage of the IC. The output current may be programmed by adjusting the level of the feedback reference voltage which is programmed through the S2Cwire interface. The SEL pin selects one of two feedback voltage ranges. In the AAT1239-1, the SEL function is inverted in that the FB pin voltage can be programmed from 0.4V to 0.1V with 1239-1.2007.10.1.0 PGND a logic LOW applied to the SEL pin and 0.6V to 0.3V with a logic HIGH applied to the SEL pin. The feedback voltage can be set to any one of 16 current levels within each FB range, providing high-resolution control of the LED current, using the single-wire S2Cwire control. For some applications requiring a short duration of boosting current applying a low-to-high transition on the AAT1239-1's SEL pin, LED current can be programmed up to 3x. The step size is determined by the programmed voltage at the FB pin where the internal default setting is 1.5x in the AAT1239-1. Control Loop The AAT1239-1 provides the benefits of current mode control with a simple hysteretic output current loop providing exceptional stability and fast response with minimal design effort. The device maintains exceptional constant current regulation, transient response, and cycle-by-cycle current limit without additional compensation components. The AAT1239-1 modulates the power MOSFET switching current to maintain the programmed FB voltage. This allows the FB voltage loop to directly program the www.analogictech.com 9 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1239-1 SwitchRegTM 40V Step-Up Converter for 4 to 10 White LEDs required inductor current in order to maintain the desired LED current. The switching cycle initiates when the N-channel MOSFET is turned ON and current ramps up in the inductor. The ON interval is terminated when the inductor current reaches the programmed peak current level. During the OFF interval, the input current decays until the lower threshold, or zero inductor current, is reached. The lower current is equal to the peak current minus a preset hysteresis threshold, which determines the inductor ripple current. The peak current is adjusted by the controller until the LED output current requirement is met. The magnitude of the feedback error signal determines the average input current. Therefore, the AAT1239-1 controller implements a programmed current source connected to the output capacitor, parallel with the LED string and ballast resistor. There is no right-half plane zero, and loop stability is achieved with no additional compensation components. An increase in the feedback voltage (VFB) results in an increased error signal sensed across the ballast resistor (R1). The controller responds by increasing the peak inductor current, resulting in higher average current in the inductor and LED string(s). Alternatively, when the VFB is reduced, the controller responds by decreasing the peak inductor current, resulting in lower average current in the inductor and LED string(s). Under light load conditions, the inductor OFF interval current goes below zero and the boost converter enters discontinuous mode operation. Further reduction in the load current results in a corresponding reduction in the switching frequency. The AAT1239-1 provides pulsed frequency operation which reduces switching losses and maintains high efficiency under light load conditions. Operating frequency varies with changes in the input voltage, output voltage, and inductor size. Once the boost converter has reached continuous mode, further increases in the LED current will not significantly change the operating frequency. A small 2.2H (20%) inductor is selected to maintain high frequency switching (up to 2MHz) and high efficiency operation for outputs up to 40V. Soft Start / Enable The input disconnect switch is activated when a valid input voltage is present and the EN/SET pin is pulled high. The slew rate control on the P-channel MOSFET ensures minimal inrush current as the output voltage is charged to the input voltage, prior to switching of the 10 N-channel power MOSFET. Monotonic turn-on is guaranteed by the built-in soft-start circuitry. Soft start eliminates output current overshoot across the full input voltage range and all loading conditions. After the soft start sequence has terminated, the initial LED current is determined by the internal, default FB voltage across the external ballast resistor at the FB pin. Additionally, the AAT1239-1 has been designed to offer the system designer two choices for the default FB voltage based on the state of the SEL pin. Changing the LED current from its initial default setting is easy by using the S2Cwire single wire serial interface; the FB voltage can be decreased (as in the AAT1239-1; see Table 2) relative to the default FB voltage. Current Limit and Over-Temperature Protection The switching of the N-channel MOSFET terminates when a current limit of 2.5A (typical) is exceeded. This minimizes power dissipation and component stresses under overload and short-circuit conditions. Switching resumes when the current decays below the current limit. Thermal protection disables the AAT1239-1 when internal dissipation becomes excessive. Thermal protection disables both MOSFETs. The junction over-temperature threshold is 140C with 15C of temperature hysteresis. The output voltage automatically recovers when the over-temperature fault condition is removed. Over-Voltage Protection Over-voltage protection prevents damage to the AAT1239-1 during open-circuit or high output voltage conditions. An over-voltage event is defined as a condition where the voltage on the OVP pin exceeds the overvoltage threshold limit (VOVP = 1.2V typical). When the voltage on the OVP pin has reached the threshold limit, the converter stops switching and the output voltage decays. Switching resumes when the voltage on the OVP pin drops below the lower hysteresis limit, maintaining an average output voltage between the upper and lower OVP thresholds multiplied by the resistor divider scaling factor. Under-Voltage Lockout Internal bias of all circuits is controlled via the VIN input. Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) guarantees sufficient VIN bias and proper operation of all internal circuitry prior to soft start. www.analogictech.com 1239-1.2007.10.1.0 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1239-1 SwitchRegTM 40V Step-Up Converter for 4 to 10 White LEDs Application Information Assume R3 = 12k and VOUT(MAX) = 40V. Selecting 1% resistor for high accuracy, this results in R2 = 374k (rounded to the nearest standard value). The minimum OVP threshold can be calculated: Over-Voltage Protection OVP Protection with Open Circuit Failure The OVP protection circuit consists of a resistor network tied from the output voltage to the OVP pin (see Figure 1). To protect the device from open circuit failure, the resistor divider can be selected such that the over-voltage threshold occurs prior to the output reaching 40V (VOUT(MAX)). The value of R3 should be selected from 10k to 20k to minimize losses without degrading noise immunity. R2 = R3 * VOUT(OVP_MIN) = VOVP(MIN) * = 35.4V To avoid OVP detection and subsequent reduction in the programmed output current (see following section), the maximum operating voltage should not exceed the minimum OVP set point. VOUT(MAX) -1 VOVP VOUT(MAX) < VOUT(OVP_MIN) In some cases, this may disallow configurations with high LED forward voltage (VFLED) and/or greater than ten series white LEDs. VFLED unit-to-unit tolerance can be as high as +15% of nominal for white LED devices. VOUT AAT1239-1 OVP Constant Voltage Operation R2 COUT OVP R3 GND R2 +1 R3 Under closed loop constant current conditions, the output voltage is determined by the operating current, LED forward voltage characteristics (VFLED), quantity of series connected LEDs (N), and the feedback pin voltage (VFB).

When the rising OVP threshold is exceeded, switching is stopped and the output voltage decays. Switching automatically restarts when the output drops below the lower OVP hysteresis voltage (100mV typical) and, as a result, the output voltage increases. The cycle repeats, maintaining an average DC output voltage proportional to the average of the rising and falling OVP levels (multiplied by the resistor divider scaling factor). High operating frequency and small output voltage ripple ensure DC current and negligible flicker in the LED string(s). The waveform in Figure 3 shows the output voltage and LED current at cold temperature with a ten series white LED string and VOVP = 40V. As shown, the output voltage rises as a result of the increased VFLED which triggers the OVP constant voltage operation. Self heating of the LEDs triggers a smooth transition back to constant current control. www.analogictech.com 11 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1239-1 SwitchRegTM 40V Step-Up Converter for 4 to 10 White LEDs Over-Voltage Protection Cold Temperature Apply Self-Recovery where: VFB(MAX) = 0.4V when SEL = Low VOUT (5V/div) VFB(MAX) = 0.6V when SEL = High i.e., for a maximum LED current of 20mA (SEL = High): ILED (200mA/div) RBALLAST = Figure 3: Over-Voltage Protection Constant Voltage Operation (10 White LEDs; ILED = 20mA; R2 = 12k; R3 = 374k). Maximum ILED Current (mA) To minimize the ILED error, the minimum OVP voltage (VOUT(OVP_MIN)) may be increased, yielding a corresponding increase in the maximum OVP voltage (VOUT(OVP_MAX)). Measurements should confirm that the maximum switching node voltage (VSW(MAX)) is less than 45V under worstcase operating conditions. VSW(MAX) = VOVP(MAX) * VOUT(OVP_MIN) = VOVP(TYP) * N= The AAT1239-1 is well suited for driving white LEDs with constant current.

LED Brightness Control LED Current (mA) 25 The AAT1239-1 uses S2Cwire programming to control LED brightness and does not require PWM (pulse width modulation) or additional control circuitry. 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 output current of the AAT1239-1 can be changed successively to brighten or dim the LEDs in smooth transitions (i.e., to fade out) or in abrupt steps, giving the user complete programmability and real-time control of LED brightness. 20 SEL=HIGH Default 15 10 SEL=LOW 5 0 1 4 7 10 13 16 S2Cwire Data Register Figure 5: Programming AAT1239-1 LED Current with RBALLAST = 30.1. 1239-1.2007.10.1.0 www.analogictech.com 13 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1239-1 SwitchRegTM 40V Step-Up Converter for 4 to 10 White LEDs Alternatively, toggling the SEL logic pin from low to high implements stepped or pulsed LED currents by increasing the FB pin voltage.

Each state corresponds to a reference feedback voltage setting on the FB pin, as shown in Table 2. S2Cwire Serial Interface Timing The S2Cwire single wire serial interface data can be clocked-in at speeds up to 1MHz. After data has been submitted, EN/SET is held high to latch the data for a period TLAT. The FB pin voltage is subsequently changed to the level as defined by the state of the SEL logic pin. When EN/SET is set low for a time greater than TOFF, the AAT1239-1 is disabled. When the AAT1239-1 is disabled, the register is reset to its default value. In the AAT1239-1, the FB pin voltage is set to 0.3V if the EN/SET pin is subsequently pulled HIGH.

Selecting the Schottky Diode To ensure minimum forward voltage drop and no recovery, high voltage Schottky diodes are considered the best choice for the AAT1239-1 boost converter. The output diode is sized to maintain acceptable efficiency and reasonable operating junction temperature under full load operating conditions. Forward voltage (VF) and package thermal resistance (JA) are the dominant factors to consider in selecting a diode. The diode nonrepetitive peak forward surge current rating (IFSM) should be considered for high pulsed load applications, such as camera flash. IFSM rating drops with increasing conduction period. Manufacturers' datasheets should be consulted to verify reliability under peak loading conditions. The diode's published current rating may not reflect actual operating conditions and should be used only as a comparative measure between similarly rated devices. The switching period is divided between ON and OFF time intervals. 1 = TON + TOFF FS During the ON time, the N-channel power MOSFET is conducting and storing energy in the boost inductor. During the OFF time, the N-channel power MOSFET is not conducting. Stored energy is transferred from the input battery and boost inductor to the output load through the output diode. Duty cycle is defined as the ON time divided by the total switching interval. 40V rated Schottky diodes are recommended for outputs less than 30V, while 60V rated Schottky diodes are recommended for outputs greater than 35V. D= TON TON + TOFF = TON FS *All table entries are preliminary and subject to change without notice. 1239-1.2007.10.1.0 www.analogictech.com 15 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT1239-1 SwitchRegTM 40V Step-Up Converter for 4 to 10 White LEDs The maximum duty cycle can be estimated from the relationship for a continuous mode boost converter. Maximum duty cycle (DMAX) is the duty cycle at minimum input voltage (VIN(MIN)). DMAX = The reverse leakage current of the rectifier must be considered to maintain low quiescent (input) current and high efficiency under light load. The rectifier reverse current increases dramatically at elevated temperatures. Selecting the Boost Inductor VOUT - VIN(MIN) VOUT The AAT1239-1 controller utilizes hysteretic control and the switching frequency varies with output load and input voltage. The value of the inductor determines the maximum switching frequency of the boost converter. Increased output inductance decreases the switching frequency, resulting in higher peak currents and increased output voltage ripple. To maintain 2MHz maximum switching frequency and stable operation, an output inductor sized from 1.5H to 2.7H is recommended. The average diode current is equal to the output current. IAVG(TOT) = IOUT The average output current multiplied by the forward diode voltage determines the loss of the output diode. A better estimate of DMAX is possible once VF is known. PLOSS(DIODE) = IAVG(TOT) * VF = IOUT * VF DMAX = For continuous LED currents, the diode junction temperature can be estimated. Where VF is the Schottky diode forward voltage. If not known, it can be estimated at 0.5V. TJ(DIODE) = TAMB + JA * PLOSS(DIODE) 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 completed to ensure that the inductor does not saturate or exhibit excessive temperature rise. Output diode junction temperature should be maintained below 110C, but may vary depending on application and/or system guidelines. The diode JA can be minimized with additional PCB area on the cathode. PCB heat-sinking the anode may degrade EMI performance. Manufacturer Part Number Taiwan Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Peak current may be estimated using the following equation, assuming continuous conduction mode. Worst-case peak current occurs at minimum input voltage (maximum duty cycle) and maximum load. Switching frequency (FS) can be estimated from the curves and assumes a 2.2H inductor. IPEAK = IOUT D * VIN(MIN) + MAX (1 - DMAX) (2 * FS * L) At light load and low output voltage, the controller reduces the operating frequency to maintain maximum operating efficiency. As a result, further reduction in output load does not reduce the peak current. Minimum peak current can be estimated from 0.5A to 0.75A. At high load and high output voltages, the switching frequency is somewhat diminished, resulting in higher IPEAK. Bench measurements are recommended to confirm actual IPEAK and ensure that the inductor does not saturate at maximum LED current and minimum input voltage. The RMS current flowing through the boost inductor is equal to the DC plus AC ripple components. Under worst-case RMS conditions, the current waveform is critically continuous. The resulting RMS calculation yields worst-case inductor loss. The RMS current value should be compared against the manufacturer's temperature rise, or thermal derating, guidelines. IRMS = Sumida www.sumida.com Cooper Electronics www.cooperet.com Taiyo Yuden www.t-yuden.com To ensure high reliability, the inductor case temperature should not exceed 100C. In some cases, PCB heatsinking applied to the LIN node (non-switching) can improve the inductor's thermal capability. PCB heatsinking may degrade EMI performance when applied to the SW node (switching) of the AAT1239-1. Shielded inductors provide decreased EMI and may be required in noise sensitive applications. Unshielded chip inductors provide significant space savings at a reduced cost compared to shielded (wound and gapped) inductors. In general, chip-type inductors have increased winding resistance (DCR) when compared to shielded, wound varieties. Inductor Efficiency Considerations The efficiency for different inductors is shown in Figure 8 for ten white LEDs in series. Smaller inductors yield increased DCR and reduced operating efficiency. 75 CDRH5D16F-2R2 (29m) 72 SD3814-2R2 (77m) 69 66 63 IPEAK 2 5 3 8 11 14 17 20 LED Current (mA) For a given inductor type, smaller inductor size leads to an increase in DCR winding resistance and, in most cases, increased thermal impedance.

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 AAT1239-1 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 sized to maintain the output load without significant voltage droop (VOUT) during the power switch ON interval, when the output diode is not conducting. A ceramic output capacitor from 2.2F to 4.7F is recommended (see Table 5). Typically, 50V rated capacitors are required for the 40V maximum boost output. Ceramic capacitors sized as small as 0805 or 1206 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 acceptable. Voltage derating can minimize this factor, but results may vary with package size and among specific manufacturers. Output capacitor size can be estimated at a switching frequency (FS) of 500kHz (worst case). COUT = IOUT * DMAX FS * VOUT To maintain stable operation at full load, the output capacitor should be sized to maintain VOUT between 100mV and 200mV.

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 AAT1239-1 boost converter is shown in Figures 9 and 10. The following PCB layout guidelines should be considered: 1. Minimize the distance from Capacitor C1 and C2 negative terminal to the PGND pins. This is especially true with output capacitor C2, which conducts high ripple current from the output diode back to the PGND pins. 2. Minimize the distance between L1 to DS1 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 GND terminals of C1 and C2. 4. Consider additional PCB area on DS1 cathode to maximize heatsinking capability. This may be necessary when using a diode with a high VF and/or thermal resistance. 5. To avoid problems at startup, add a 10k resistor between the VIN, VP and EN/SET pins (R4). This is critical in applications requiring immunity from input noise during "hot plug" events, e.g. when plugged into an active USB port.
