AAT3159
ChargePumpTM
High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump for White LED Applications
General Description
Features
The AAT3159 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 applications. The
device is capable of driving up to four channels of LEDs
at up to 40mA per channel from a 2.7V to 5.5V input
supply voltage. The current sinks may be operated indi-
vidually or in parallel for driving higher-current LEDs. A
low external parts count (two 1μF flying capacitors [C1
and C2] and two small 1μF capacitors [CIN and COUT])
makes this part ideally suited for small battery-powered
applications.

Current
AnalogicTech’s patented single-wire Simple Serial
Control™ (S2Cwire™) serial digital interface is used to
enable, disable, and set the current for each LED with 16
levels from a maximum of 40mA down to 50μA. The
maximum current level is programmed via an external
resistor. To save power, low-current mode supply current
will be as low as 50μA.
• 2.85x3x1mm TSOPJW-14 Package
Each output of the AAT3159 is equipped with built- in
protection for VOUT short-circuit operation and auto-dis-
able functionality for LED open-circuit conditions. Built-in
soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current
during start-up. A low-current shutdown feature discon-
nects the load from IN and reduces quiescent current to
less than 1μA.
Applications
• Cellphones, DSC, Handheld Devices
• LED Photo Flash
• Programmable Current Sinks
• White LED Backlighting
The AAT3159 is available in a Pb-free, space-saving
2.85x3x1mm TSOPJW-14 package.
