AAT3141
High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump
for White LED Applications
General Description
Features
ChargePump^™
The AAT3141 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 1µF flying capacitors and two small
1µF capacitors at V_IN and CP) make the AAT3141 ide-
ally suited for small battery-powered applications.
The AAT3141 is equipped with AnalogicTech’s unique
AutoBias™ 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 Advanced Simple Serial Control™
(AS²Cwire™) digital input is used to enable, disable,
and set the LED drive current with a 32-level logarith-
mic scale LED brightness control. The AAT3141 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
frequency enables the use of very small external
capacitors. In shutdown mode, the device disconnects
the load from V_IN and reduces quiescent current to
less than 1µA. The AAT3141 is available in the very
small, Pb-free 12-pin TSOPJW package.
