1.5A Step-Up Current Regulator for Flash LEDs
General Description
Features
•
•
•
The AAT1272 is a high-efficiency, high-current boost
converter capable of 1.5A typical output current. It is an
ideal power solution for LED photo flash applications in
all single cell Li-ion powered products.
VIN Range: 2.7V to 5.5V
Dual Channel Output
Up to 1.5A Regulated Output Current (750mA per
channel)

Up to 85% Efficiency with Small Inductor (1μH)
2 MHz Switching Frequency
Separate Flash Enable
User-Programmable Safety Timer
Single Resistor Sets Flash and Movie Mode Current
Two Wire, I2C Compliant Serial Interface
The AAT1272 maintains output current regulation by
switching the internal high-side and low-side switch
transistors. The transistor switches are pulse-width
modulated at a fixed frequency of 2MHz. The high
switching frequency allows the use of a small inductor
and output capacitor, making the AAT1272 ideally suited
for small battery-powered applications.
Fast, 400kHz Serial Transfer Rate
16 Level Movie-mode Current
Flash/Movie-mode
Current Output Channel Control
▪
▪
An industry-standard I2C serial digital input is used to
enable, disable and set the movie-mode current for each
flash LED with up to 16 movie-mode settings. The
AAT1272 also includes a separate Flash Enable input to
initiate both the flash operation and the default timer,
which can be used either to terminate a flash event at the
end of a user-programmed delay or as a safety feature.
The maximum flash and movie-mode current is set by one
external resistor; the ratio of Flash to Movie-mode current
is set at approximately 7.3:1. One or two LEDs can be
connected to the AAT1272; in the case of two LEDs the
output current is matched between each diode.

Applications
The AAT1272 contains a thermal management system to
protect the device in the event of an output short-circuit
condition. Built-in circuitry prevents excessive inrush
current during start-up. The shutdown feature reduces
quiescent current to less than 1.0μA.
