1943 quad output adjustable switching regulator
provides power for large TFT LCD panels. The device,
housed in a low profile 28 pin thermally enhanced TSSOP
package, can generate a 3.3V or 5V logic supply along with
the triple output supply required for the TFT LCD panel.
Operating from an input range of 4.5V to 22V, a step-down
regulator provides a low voltage output V
LOGIC
with up to
2A current. A high-power step-up converter, a lower-
power step-up converter and an inverting converter pro-
vide the three independent output voltages AV
DD
, V
ON
and
V
OFF
required by the LCD panel. A high-side PNP provides
delayed turn-on of the V
ON
signal and can handle up to
30mA. Protection circuitry ensures V
ON
is disabled if any
of the four outputs are more than 10% below normal
voltage.
All switchers are synchronized to the internal 1.2MHz
clock, allowing the use of low profile inductors and ce-
ramic capacitors throughout. A current mode architecture
provides excellent transient response. For best flexibility,
all outputs are adjustable. Soft-start is included in all four
channels. A PGOOD pin can drive an optional PMOS pass
device to provide output disconnect for the AV
DD
output.
