AAT3152
High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump
For White LED Applications
General Description
The AAT3152 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 AAT3152 is capable of driving
four-channel LEDs from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. The
current sinks may be operated individually or in par-
allel for driving higher-current LEDs. A low external
parts count (two 1µF flying capacitors and two small
1µF capacitors at V
IN
and V
OUT
) makes this part ide-
ally suited for small, battery-powered applications.
AnalogicTech's S
2
Cwire™ (Simple Serial Control™)
serial digital input is used to enable, disable, and
set current for each LED with eight settings (20mA
down to 50µA) including main/sub-display group
control. The AAT3152 consumes extremely low cur-
rent internally (50µA typical) at light load for opti-
mized efficiency.
Each output of the AAT3152 is equipped with built-
in protection for V
OUT
short-circuit and auto-disable
for load short-circuit conditions. Built-in soft-start
circuitry prevents excessive inrush current during
start-up. A low current shutdown feature discon-
nects the load from V
IN
and reduces quiescent cur-
rent to less than 1µA.
The AAT3152 is available in a Pb-free, space-sav-
ing, thermally-enhanced 12-pin 3x3mm TDFN
package.

1. The AAT3152 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and is assured
by design, characterization, and correlation with statistical process controls.
2. Current matching is defined as the deviation of any sink current at I
OUT
= 20mA and 2mA.
3. Specification applies only to the tri-mode charge pump.
