1 Introduction EVALUATION BOARD DATA SHEET The AAT1278 evaluation board demonstrates the functionality of the AAT1278 and its application as LED photo flash driver under Skyworks' AS 2 Cwire serial digital interface control. The AAT1278 is a boost converter with a programmable constant current LED driver with an input voltage range of 2.7V to.v. The single flash LED driver delivers up to 100mA output current in flash mode. An external resistor is employed to set the flash LED maximum current for flash and movie modes; the movie mode LED current can be easily programmed from 100% to 0% of the maximum current value in 16 steps with a single GPIO output via the AS 2 Cwire interface; the flash to movie mode ratio can also be easily programmed from 2:1 to OFF in 16 steps with a single GPIO output via the AS 2 Cwire interface and the fixed flash to movie mode ratio is 7.3:1.The wide input voltage range, small solution size, and high switch frequency is suitable for small battery-powered applications. This document describes the evaluation board and its accompanying user interface. A Getting Started section is included to help the user to begin operating the evaluation board. The AAT1278 evaluation board is shown in Figure 1; Figures 2 and 6 depict the board schematic and layout. For additional information, please consult the AAT1278 product datasheet and application note (AN-111) for understanding of the AS 2 Cwire serial digital interface. Board Pictures (a) Top Side.

Jump the JP1 to connect the V IN power to microcontroller VDD and AAT1278 IN. Jump JP2 to connect the SW4 to AAT1278 FLINHIBIT pin for inhibiting flash current. Jump the JP3 to set the microcontroller to generate AS 2 C code signal for driving LED. After all jumpers are in the correct positions, apply power between 2.7V and.v to the V IN and GND terminals to power the AAT1278 (U1) and microcontroller (U2); the red LED (LED1) should illuminate when the microcontroller is powered. The green LED (LED2) should flicker when microcontroller sends the AS 2 C digital signal to AAT1278.Table1 shows the jumps function, Figure 3 shows the connection of the AAT1278 board.

Manually inhibit a flash current and enables the AAT1278 boost converter to get the maximum movie mode current, initiates a single flash pulse. Table 2: User Interface Functionality. LED Drive Current The AAT1278 can be set up to provide 1.A maximum flash mode current. The maximum flash mode current is set by R1 and can be set to 107kΩ for a maximum flash LED drive current of 1.A. In this AAT1278 manual s application R1 is set to 133kΩ for 1.2A maximum flash current. Flash current can be calculated using Equation1 by change the value of R1. Refer to the AAT1278 datasheet to program a desired flash current, the default maximum Movie Mode Current can be calculated using Equation2 in this AAT1278 manual. I FL = 162kΩ A 1200mA I MOVIE MODE = I FL (FL to MM Ratio) = = 164.4mA 7.3 AS²Cwire Interface and Control JP3 connects GPIO (U2) and AAT1278 (U1) AS 2 Cwire interface EN/SET, AS 2 Cwire interface data is programmed by the microcontroller U2 and its associated push button function switches SW1, SW2.
