AAT1274
1.5A Single Flash LED Driver IC
General Description
The AAT1274 is a high-efficiency, 1.5A high-current
boost converter for LED photo flash applications. It
maintains output current regulation by switching the
internal high-side and low-side switch transistors, pulse-
width modulated at a fixed frequency of 2MHz. The high
switching frequency allows the use of a small external
inductor and output capacitor, making the AAT1274 ide-
ally suited in all single cell, Li-ion-powered applications.
Skyworks' proprietary AS
2
Cwire™ (Advanced Simple
Serial Control™) serial digital interface is used to enable,
disable, configure, and program the operation of the
AAT1274. Using the AS
2
Cwire interface, the movie-mode
current level for each LED, and the flash-to-movie-mode
current ratio can be programmed to one of 16 levels. The
AAT1274 includes a separate Flash Enable input to initi-
ate the flash operation and a Flash Inhibit pin which
reduces the flash current to movie-mode levels during
high battery demand.
The maximum flash and movie-mode current is set by
one external resistor where the ratio of flash to movie-
mode current is set at approximately 7.3:1. The AAT1274
can drive one high current LED.
The AAT1274 contains a thermal management system to
protect the device in the event of an output short-circuit
condition. Built-in circuitry prevents excessive inrush
current during start-up. The shutdown feature reduces
quiescent current to less than 1.0μA.
The AAT1274 is available in a Pb-free, thermally-enhanced
TDFN33-14 package and operates over the -40°C to 85°C
temperature range.

Description
Analog ground pin. Connect AGND to PGND, and FLGND at a single point as close to the AAT1274 as possible.
Enable and Serial Control input. EN/SET is the AS2Cwire addressing and programming input to: a) adjust the
movie-mode current level; b) select the Flash-to-Movie-mode ratio;
LED Flash current sink pin. Connect the cathode of Flash LED to FL.
Flash enable pin. A low-to-high transition on the FLEN pin initiates a
fl
ash pulse and a high-to-low transition
on the FLEN pin terminates a
fl
ash pulse
Flash output boost converter power input. Connect IN to the input power source. Connect a 2.2μF or larger
ceramic capacitor from IN to PGND and locate as close as possible to the AAT1274 package for optimum per-
formance.
Power ground. Connect PGND to the same single point as AGND located as close to the AAT1274 as possible
Power output of the boost converter. Connect a 2.2μF or larger ceramic capacitor from OUT to PGND as close
as possible to the AAT1274. Connect OUT to the anode of the Flash LED.
Not connected
Boost converter switching node. Connect a 1μH inductor between SW and IN.
Flash inhibit pin. FLINH is an active HIGH control input with an internal 200kΩ resistor to AGND. A low-to-
high transition on the FLINH pin reduces FL sink current to the maximum (default) movie-mode current level.
Flash ground pin. Connect FLGND to PGND, and AGND at a single point as close to the AAT1274 as possible.
Flash current set pin. Connect a resistor from RSET to AGND to program the desired
fl
ash current for the cur-
rent sink FL.
Electrical back contact. Connect to a good thermal ground pad
