AAT1282
2A Driver for High Intensity LED Camera Flash
General Description
Features
The AAT1282 is a high-efficiency, high-current step-up
converter capable of 2A maximum 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 2A Regulated Output Current
▪
1A per channel
Integrated Fixed Input Current Limit
The AAT1282 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 AAT1282 ideally suited
for small battery-powered applications. A high-capacity
Super Capacitor on the secondary side of the step-up
converter provides the high-peak flash LED current,
thereby reducing the peak current demand from the
Li-ion battery. To achieve this, the step-up converter
features a fixed, input current limiter.

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
AAT1282 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.
• True Load Disconnect
• Supply Current in Shutdown: <1.0μA
• TDFN33-14 Package
Applications
• Camcorder Video Light (Torch Light)
• Camera Phones/Smartphones
• Digital Still Cameras (DSC)
• LED Photo Flash Light (Strobe Light)
• Mobile Handsets
The maximum flash and movie-mode current is set by
one external resistor where the ratio between Flash to
Movie-mode current is set at approximately 7.3:1. One or
two LEDs can be connected to the AAT1282, where in the
case of two LEDs the output current is matched between
each diode. The ratio of maximum flash current to movie-
mode current can also be adjusted via the I2C control.
The AAT1282 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.
The AAT1282 is available in a Pb-free, thermally-
enhanced 14-pin 3 x 3mm TDFN package.
