General Description
The AAT1239-1 is a high frequency, high efficiency con-
stant current boost converter capable of driving up to
ten (10) series-connected white LEDs or 40V. It is an
ideal power solutions for backlight applications with up
to ten white LEDs in series. The input voltage is 2.7V to
5.5V for single-cell lithium-ion/polymer (Li-ion) based
portable devices.
The LED current is digitally controlled across a 6x oper-
ating range using AnalogicTech’s Simple Serial Control™
(S
2
Cwire™) interface. Programmability across 26 dis-
crete current steps provides high resolution, low noise,
flicker-free, constant LED outputs. In programming
AAT1239 operation, LED brightness increases based on
the data applied at the EN/SET pin. The SEL logic pin
changes the feedback voltage between two program-
mable ranges.
The AAT1239-1 features a high current limit and fast,
stable transitions for stepped or pulsed current applica-
tions. The high switching frequency (up to 2MHz) pro-
vides fast response and allows the use of ultra-small
external components, including chip inductors and
capacitors. Fully integrated control circuitry simplifies
design and reduces total solution size. The AAT1239-1
offers a true load disconnect feature which isolates the
load from the power source while in the OFF or disabled
state. This eliminates leakage current, making the devic-
es ideally suited for battery-powered applications.
The AAT1239-1 is available in the Pb-free, thermally-
enhanced 12-pin TSOPJW package.

1. Specification over the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range is assured by design, characterization, and correlation with statistical process controls.
2. Maximum continuous output current increases with reduced output voltage, but may vary depending on operating efficiency and thermal limitations.
