General Description
The AAT3140 is a low noise, constant frequency
charge pump DC/DC converter that uses a tri-mode
load switch (1X), fractional (1.5X), and doubling (2X)
conversion to maximize efficiency for white LED appli-
cations. The device produces current levels up to
30mA on each of its four current source outputs to
drive various arrangements of LEDs from a 2.7V to
5.5V input. Outputs may be operated individually or in
parallel for driving higher-current LEDs. A low external
parts count (two 1F flying capacitors and two small
1F capacitors at V
IN
and CP) make the AAT3140 ide-
ally suited for small battery-powered applications.
The AAT3140 is equipped with AnalogicTech's unique
AutoBiasTM technology which allows individual LEDs
to be powered either by charge pump or battery input,
determined internally and automatically to maximize
the power efficiency even with a large difference in
LED forward voltage.
AnalogicTech's Simple Serial ControlTM (S
2
CwireTM)
digital input is used to enable, disable, and set the
LED drive current with a 32-level logarithmic scale
LED brightness control. The AAT3140 has a thermal
management system to protect the device in the event
of a short-circuit condition at an output pin. Built-in
soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current
during start-up. A high charge pump switching fre-
quency enables the use of very small external capac-
itors. In shutdown mode, the device disconnects the
load from V
IN
and reduces quiescent current to less
than 1A. The AAT3140 is available in the very small,
Pb-free 12-pin TSOPJW package.
