It can drive 4 white LEDs. Current Level Settings The AAT3340 is a fractional charge pump and can multiply the input voltage by 1 or 1.5 times. The charge pump switches at a fixed frequency of 1MHz. The internal-modeselection-circuit automatically switches the mode between 1x and 1.5x mode base on the input voltage, output voltage and load current. This mode switching maximizes the efficiency throughout the entire load range. LED current level is set via AnalogicTech's Simple Serial Control (S2Cwire) interface in a linear scale where each code is 0.6mA smaller than the previous code, as shown in Figure 1. In this manner, the LED current decreases linearly with each increasing code. LED Current vs. S2C Data (VF = 3.0V @ 20mA) When the input voltage is high enough, the AAT3340 operates in 1x mode to provide maximum efficiency. If the input voltage is too low to supply programmed LED current, typically when the battery discharges and the voltage decays, a 1.5x mode is automatically enabled. When the battery is connected to a charger and the input voltage become high enough again, the device will switch back to 1x mode. The current sink magnitude is controlled by the EN/SET serial data S2Cwire interface. The interface records rising edges of the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 32 individual current level settings. 8 LED Current (mA) 25 20 15 10 5 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 1718 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 S2C Code Figure 1: LED Current Level vs. Simple Serial Control (S2Cwire). www.analogictech.com 3340.2008.04.1.0 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT3340 ChargePump High Efficiency 1x/1.5x Charge Pump TM S2Cwire Data LED Current (mA) S2Cwire Data LED Current (mA) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 20.0 19.4 18.7 18.1 17.4 16.8 16.1 15.5 14.8 14.2 13.6 12.9 12.3 11.6 11.0 10.3 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 9.7 9.0 8.4 7.7 7.1 6.5 5.8 5.2 4.5 3.9 3.2 2.6 1.9 1.3 0.6 0.3 put current at the programmed level. The device is disabled 500s after the EN/SET pin enters a logic low state. The EN/SET timing is designed to accommodate a wide range of data rates. After the first rising edge of EN/SET, the charge pump is enabled and reaches full capacity after the soft-start time (TSS). Exact counts of clock pulses for the desired current level should be entered on the EN/SET pin with a single burst of clocks. The counter refreshes each time a new clock input to the EN/SET pin is detected. A constant current is sunk as long as EN/SET remains in a logic high state. The current sink pins are switched off after EN/SET has remained low state for at least the tOFF timeout period (see Figure 1). LED Selection The AAT3340 is designed to drive white LEDs with forward voltages up to 4.8V. Since BL1 through BL4 output current sinks are matched with negligible voltage dependence; the LED brightness will be matched regardless of their forward voltage matching. Table 2: S2C Data vs LED Current. EN/SET Serial Interface The LED current magnitude is controlled by the EN/SET pin using the S2Cwire interface. The interface records rising edges of the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 32 individual current level settings. Code 1 is full scale, and Code 32 is 0.3mA. The modulo 32 interface wraps states back to state 1 after the 32nd clock. The counter can be clocked at speeds up to 1MHz, so intermediate states are not visible. The first rising edge of EN/SET enables the IC and initially sets the output LED current to full scale, the lowest setting equal to 0.3mA. Once the final clock cycle is input for the desired brightness level, the EN/ SET pin should be held high to maintain the device out- The AAT3340 operates at a fixed frequency of 1MHz to control noise and limit harmonics that can interfere with the RF operation of cellular telephone handsets or other communication devices. Back-injected noise appearing on the input pin of the charge pump is 20mV peak-topeak, typically ten times less than inductor-based DC/DC boost converter white LED backlight solutions. The AAT3340 soft-start feature prevents noise transient effects associated with inrush currents during startup of the charge pump circuit. tLO t HI OFF Device Switching Noise Performance 1 tOFF 2 3 OFF Figure 2: EN/SET Timing Diagram. 3340.2008.04.1.0 www.analogictech.com 9 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT3340 ChargePump High Efficiency 1x/1.5x Charge Pump TM Power Efficiency and Device Evaluation The charge pump efficiency discussion in the following sections accounts only for efficiency of the charge pump section itself. Due to the unique circuit architecture and design of the AAT3340, it is very difficult to measure efficiency in terms of a percent value comparing input power over output power. Since the AAT3340 outputs are pure constant current sinks 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 components count, reliability, operating range, and total energy usage...not just % efficiency. The AAT3340 efficiency may be quantified under specific conditions and is dependent upon the input voltage and voltage on BL outputs BL1 through BL4 for a given constant current setting. At any given current setting, if VIN is sufficiently high to avoid drop-out for all the BL pin in 1x mode, the device stays in 1x mode. If in 1x mode, Vin is less than the voltage required on any of the 4 current sink channels to avoid drop-out, the device will operate in 1.5x charge pump mode. Each of these two modes will yield different efficiency values. The AAT3340 contains a fractional charge pump which will boost the input supply voltage when VIN is less than the voltage required on the constant current sink pins. The ideal efficiency () can be defined as: = PLED VF * ILED = PIN VIN * IIN VF is the LED forward voltage. In 1x mode, IIN = ILED + IQ. Ignore the quiescent current, it's much smaller than ILED. 10 = VF * ILED VIN * IIN In 1.5X mode, IIN = 1.5 * ILED + IQ. Ignore the quiescent current, it's much smaller than ILED. = VF * ILED VIN * 1.5 * IIN Please also refer to the Typical Characteristics section of this document for measured plots of efficiency versus input voltage and output load current for the given charge pump output voltage options. Capacitor Selection Careful selection of the four external capacitors CIN, C1, C2, and COUT is important because they will affect turnon 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 all four capacitors is a good starting point when choosing capacitors. If the LED current sinks are only programmed for low current levels, then the capacitor size may be decreased. Test Current/Channel Disable Each current sink channel is equipped with a test current function. While it has been enabled, the AAT3340 automatically detects the presence of LEDs all the time. Unused channels that are tied to OUT or LED loads that have failed will be automatically disabled. Capacitor Characteristics Ceramic composition capacitors are highly recommended over all other types of capacitors for use with the AAT3340. Ceramic capacitors offer many advantages over their tantalum and aluminum electrolytic counterparts. A ceramic capacitor has very low ESR, is lowest cost, has a smaller PCB footprint, and is non-polarized. 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. www.analogictech.com 3340.2008.04.1.0 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT3340 ChargePump High Efficiency 1x/1.5x Charge Pump TM 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 0.1F are typically made from NPO or C0G materials. NPO and C0G materials have tight tolerance and are stable over temperature. Capacitors with large values are typically composed of X7R, X5R, Z5U, or Y5V dielectric materials. Large ceramic capacitors, greater than 2.2F, are often available in low-cost Y5V and Z5U dielectrics, but capacitors greater than 1F are usually not required for AAT3340 applications. 3340.2008.04.1.0 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 AAT3340 has a built-in thermal protection circuit that will shut down the charge pump if the die temperature rises above the thermal limit, as is generally the case during short-circuit event of the VOUT pin. Evaluation Board Layout When designing a PCB for the AAT3340, the key requirements are: 1. 2. Place the two flying capacitors, C1 and C2, as close to the chip as possible, otherwise the 1.5X mode performance will be compromised. Place the input and output decoupling capacitors as close to the chip as possible to reduce switching noise and output ripple. www.analogictech.com 11 PRODUCT DATASHEET AAT3340 ChargePump High Efficiency 1x/1.5x Charge Pump TM AAT3340 Evaluation Board Schematic C2 1F J1 DC+ DC+ C8 10F 1 2 COUT 1F C2+ C2- 3 C1 1F C1+ C1- DC- CPO U1 1 2 3 4 5 6 VIN JP1 CIN 1F D4 AAT3340 C1P CPO VIN C2P EN/SET BL1 C2N GND C1N BL4 BL3 BL2 12 11 10 9 8 7 BL4 BL3 BL2 D3 D2 D1 R12 0 R9 0 R10 0 R11 0 BL1 EXP PAD EN/SET +3.3V R5 1K 20K S2C R4 R3 1K 1K S1 S1 UP GND R2 JP5 C6 4.7F U2 PIC12F675 1 2 3 4 VDD GP5 GP4 GP3 VSS GP0 GP1 GP2 VR1 POT10K 8 7 6 5 C4 R7 0.1F 330 LED2 Red R6 330 S2 S2 DOWN LED1 Green S3 S3 CYCLE Figure 3: AAT3340 Evaluation Board Rev.1A Schematic.
