Pin Descriptions
Pin # Symbol Function
Flash timer control input. Connect a capacitor between CT and AGND to set maximum duration of the flash
pulse. To disable the flash timer, connect CT to AGND.

CT
Enable input. EN is an active HIGH asserted input. EN must be strobed low-to-high to enable the AAT1272 to
accept I2C programming instructions.
Flash enable pin. A low-to-high transition on the FLEN pin initiates a flash pulse and starts the flash timer.
Analog ground pin. Connect AGND to PGND, GND, and FLGND at a single point as close to the AAT1272 as
possible.

Power input. Connect IN to the input power supply voltage. Connect a 2.2μF or larger ceramic capacitor from
IN to PGND as close as possible to the AAT1272
Boost converter switching node. Connect a 1μH inductor between SW and IN.
Power ground pin. Connect PGND to AGND, GND, and FLGND at a single point as close to the AAT1272 as pos-
sible.

PGND
Power output of the boost converter. Connect a 2.2μF or larger ceramic capacitor from OUT to PGND as close
as possible to the AAT1272. Connect OUT to the anode(s) of the Flash LED(s).

Flash Output B. Connect cathode of Flash LEDB to FLOUTB. For a single flash LED, connect FLOUTB and
FLOUTA together. For two flash LEDs, each output will conduct 50% of the total flash output current.
Flash ground pin. Connect FLGND to PGND, GND, and AGND at a single point as close to the AAT1272 as
possible.
Flash Output A. Connect cathode of Flash LEDA to FLOUTA. For a single flash LED, connect FLOUTA and
FLOUTB together. For two flash LEDs, each output will conduct 50% of the total flash output current.

FLOUTA
Flash current setting input. A 107kΩ resistor from RSET to AGND sets the maximum flash current available
at FLOUTA and FLOUTB to 1.5A. Each FLOUTA and FLOUTB channel will conduct 50% of the maximum pro-
grammed current. The AAT1272’s flash-to-movie-mode ratio is fixed at 7.3:1.
