AAT3170
High Current LED Flash Driver Charge Pump IC
AS2Cwire latches data or address after the EN/SET
ON/OFF Register (Address 4)
pin has been held high for time TLAT. Address or
data is differentiated by the number of EN/SET ris-
ing edges. Since the data registers are 4 bits each,
the differentiating number of pulses is 24 or 16, so
that Address 0 is signified by 17 rising edges,
Address 1 by 18 rising edges, and so forth. Data is
set to any number of rising edges between 1 and
including 16. A typical write protocol is a burst of
EN/SET rising edges, signifying a particular
address, followed by a pause with EN/SET held
high for the TLAT timeout period, a burst of rising
edges signifying data, and a TLAT timeout for the
data registers. Once an address is set, then multi-
ple writes to that address are allowed where only
data is issued.

When EN/SET is held low for an amount of time
greater than TOFF, the AAT3170 enters into shut-
down mode and draws less than 1µA from the sup-
ply. Address 0 is the default address on the first ris-
ing edge after the AAT3170 has been disabled.
After shutdown, if only data is issued with the first
rising edge (i.e., 1 - 16 edges, no address given),
both current sinks will be programmed since the
default will be Address 0.

Thermal Protection
ON/OFF
The AAT3170 has a thermal protection circuit that
will shut down the charge pump if the die tempera-
ture rises above the thermal limit, as is the case
during a short circuit of the OUT pin.
