Functional Description
The AAT3113 and AAT3114/14A devices are high effi-
ciency 1.5X fractional charge pumps intended for white
LED backlight applications. The fractional charge pump
consists of a linear regulator followed by a 1.5X charge
pump. The AAT3113 and AAT3114/14A require only four
external components: two 1µF ceramic capacitors for the
charge pump flying capacitors (C1 and C2), one 1µF
ceramic capacitor for C
IN
, and one 0.33µF to 1µF ceram-
ic capacitor for C
OUT
. The charge pump output is con-
verted into four or six constant current outputs (D1 to
D4 or D6) to drive four or six individual LEDs with a
maximum of 20mA each. The current source output
magnitude is controlled by the EN/SET serial data

Cwire interface. The interface records rising edges of
the EN/SET pin and decodes them into 32 individual cur-
rent level settings each 1dB apart (see Table 1, Current
Level Settings). Code 32 is full scale, and Code 1 is full
scale attenuated by 31dB. The modulo 32 interface
wraps states back to state 1 after the 32nd clock. With
each EN/SET pulse, the output current increases by 1dB.
To decrease the output current by 1dB, 31 EN/SET clock
pulses are required. The counter can be clocked at
speeds up to 1MHz, so intermediate states are not visi-
ble. The first rising edge of EN/SET enables the IC and
initially sets the output LED current to -31dB, the lowest
setting equal to 525µA. Once the final clock cycle is input
for the desired brightness level, the EN/SET pin is held
high to maintain the device output current at the pro-
grammed level. The device is disabled 500µs after the
EN/SET pin transitions to a logic low state.
