High Efficiency 1X/1.5X/2X Charge Pump
For White LED Applications
General Description
The AAT3155 is a low noise, constant frequency
charge pump DC/DC converter that uses a tri-
mode load switch (1X), fractional (1.5X), and dou-
bling (2X) conversion to maximize efficiency for
white LED applications. The AAT3155 is capable of
driving up to four channels of LEDs at 20mA per
channel from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. The current
sinks may be operated individually or in parallel for
driving higher current LEDs. A low external parts
count (two 1µF flying capacitors and two small 1µF
capacitors at IN and OUTCP) make this part ideal-
ly suited for small, battery-powered applications.

)
serial digital input is used to enable, disable, and set
current for each LED with 16 settings down to 50μA.
The low-current mode supply current can be as low
as 50μA to save power.
Each output of the AAT3155 is equipped with built-
in protection for output short-circuit and auto-dis-
able for load short-circuit conditions. Built-in soft-
start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current
during start-up. A low-current shutdown feature dis-
connects the load from the input and reduces qui-
escent current to less than 1μA.
The AAT3155 is available in a Pb-free, space-sav-
ing 2.85x3.0mm 12-pin TSOPJW package.

1. The AAT3155 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 from the average of all active channels.
