AAT3120 Datasheet, PDF (1/14 Pages) Advanced Analogic Technologies – 3-Channel Charge Pump For White LED Applications

General Description
The AAT3120 is a low noise, constant frequency
charge pump DC/DC converter that uses fractional
(1.5X) conversion to improve efficiency for white
LED applications. The device can be used to pro-
duce eight current levels up to 20mA per channel
for up to three channels. 1X load switch mode is
also built-in to improve efficiency at low current set-
tings. Low external parts count (two 1µF flying
capacitors and two small 1µF capacitors at V_IN and
OUT) makes the AAT3120 ideally suited for small
battery-powered applications.
AnalogicTech's S²Cwire™ (Simple Serial Control™)
serial digital input is used to enable, disable, and
set current for each LED at eight different levels.
The AAT3120 has a thermal management system
to protect the device in the event of a short-circuit
condition at the output pin. Built-in soft-start circuit-
ry prevents excessive inrush current during start-
up. A high charge pump switching frequency
enables the use of very small external capacitors.
A low current shutdown feature disconnects the
load from V_IN and reduces quiescent current to less
than 1µA. The AAT3120 is available in the very
small Pb-free 12-pin TSOPJW package.
