MAX1664
________________General Description
The MAX1664 integrates power-supply and backplane
drive circuitry for active-matrix thin-film-transistor (TFT) liquid crystal displays. Included are a single-output, pulsewidth-modulation boost converter (0.25Ω switch), a
dual-output (positive and negative) gate-driver supply
using one inductor, an LCD backplane driver, and a simple phase-locked loop to synchronize all three outputs.
High switching frequency (1MHz nominal) and phaselocked operation allow the use of small, minimumheight external components while maintaining low
output noise. A +2.8V to +5.5V input voltage range
allows operation with any logic supply. Output voltages
are adjustable to +5.5V (DC-DC 1) and to +28V and
-10V (DC-DC 2). The negative output voltage can be
adjusted to -20V with additional components. Also
included are a logic-level shutdown and a “Ready” output (RDY) that signals when all three outputs are in regulation.
The boost-converter operating frequency can be set at
16, 24, or 32 times the backplane clock. This flexibility
allows a high DC-DC converter frequency to be used
with LCD backplane clock rates ranging from 20kHz to
72kHz. The MAX1664 is supplied in a 1.1mm-high
TSSOP package.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX1664 combines power supply and backplane
drive circuitry for active matrix thin-film-transistor (TFT)
liquid crystal displays (LCD) into one IC. Included are a
pulse-width-modulation (PWM) boost converter, a dualoutput (positive and negative) converter using one
inductor, an LCD backplane driver, and a phaselocked loop (PLL) to synchronize all three outputs to the
backplane clock.
A high switching frequency (1MHz nominal) and phaselocked operation allow the use of small, minimumheight external components while maintaining low
output noise. Output voltages are adjustable to +5.5V
(DC-DC 1) and to +28V and -10V (DC-DC 2). The negative output voltage can be set to as low as -20V with
additional components.
The frequency ratio between the DC-DC 1 converter
and the backplane clock can be set to 16, 24, or 32.
This flexibility allows high DC-DC converter frequencies
8
to be used with LCD backplane clock rates ranging
from 20kHz to 72kHz.
Start-Up
At start-up, both converters remain disabled until VREF
reaches 90% of its nominal value. VOUT1 is activated
first. Once V OUT1 is regulated, V OUT2- is enabled.
VOUT2+ is held at 0 until VOUT2- is within 90% of its regulation target. All three outputs power up in a similar
order when power is applied or when coming out of
shutdown. See the Out-of-Shutdown Sequence photo in
the Typical Operating Characteristics section.
DC-DC 1 Boost Converter
DC-DC 1 uses a current-mode boost PWM architecture
to produce a positive regulated voltage, adjustable
from 3V to 5.5V (but not less than VIN). This converter
uses an internal N-channel MOSFET with a maximum
on-resistance of 0.5Ω. Cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting protects the switch under fault conditions. Upon
start-up, DC-DC 1 is the first converter to be enabled.

Fixed-frequency, current-mode operation ensures that
the switching noise exists only at the operating frequency and its harmonics. The switching frequency is phase
locked to the backplane clock input. Table 1 illustrates
the possible switching-frequency options.
loads, the controller may skip one or more cycles of
either polarity, thereby keeping the outputs in regulation. See Table 1 for the relationship between the maximum DC-DC 2 pulse frequency and the backplane
clock frequency.
DC-DC 2 Dual Outputs
Outputs with Low Step-Up or Inversion Ratios
For DC-DC 2 output voltage setpoints, which require
minimum step-up or inversion ratios (for example,
VOUT+ < 6V or VOUT- > -3V, when VINP = 5V), more
than one half-cycle may be required to transfer the
inductor energy to the appropriate output filter capacitor. In such cases, subsequent conversion cycles are
delayed, as necessary, by one or more PFM clock
cycles to preserve discontinuous mode operation.
DC-DC 2 uses a synchronized, fixed on-time PFM
architecture to provide the positive and negative output
voltages that allow the driver ICs to turn the TFT gates
on and off. When pulses occur, they are synchronized
to DC-DC 1, thereby minimizing converter interactions
and subharmonic interference.
The DC-DC 2 inductor current is always discontinuous,
enabling the dual outputs to be regulated independently. This allows one output to be at 100% load while the
other is at no load.
DC-DC 2 Operation
In normal operation, DC-DC 2 alternates between
charging the negative and positive outputs (Figure 1).
During the first half-cycle of the PFM clock period, both
the N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs turn on, applying the input supply across inductor L2. This causes
the inductor current to ramp up at a rate proportional to
V INP . During the second half-cycle, the P-channel
MOSFET turns off and the inductor transfers its energy
into the negative output filter capacitor.
Assuming that the energy transfer is completed during
this second half-cycle and the inductor current ramps
down to zero, the process is repeated for the positive
output during the next clock cycle. During the first half
of the second clock cycle, both the N-channel and Pchannel MOSFETs turn on again. The current in the
inductor again rises at the same rate. During the second half of the second clock cycle, the N-channel
MOSFET is turned off and this time the inductor energy
transfers to the positive output filter capacitor.
During conditions of heavy loads, DC-DC 2 will continue to operate in this manner, alternately delivering

The MAX1664 provides a low-impedance backplane driver, as shown in Figure 1, that level-translates the BPCLK
signal from a logic level to BPVDD/BPVSS levels. The
backplane driver consists of an N-channel/P-channel
complementary pair of high-current MOSFETs. These
devices drive BPDRV to either BPVDD or BPVSS when
BPCLK goes either high or low, respectively. The switches have a maximum on-resistance of 0.7Ω with a typical
propagation delay of 50ns. Power for the backplane driver can be taken from the output of DC-DC 1, VOUT1, as
shown in the Typical Operating Circuit.
Phase-Locked Loop
The MAX1664 contains an on-board PLL to synchronize
the PWM and PFM converter clocks to the backplane
clock (Figure 2). This will minimize noise and interference. The PLL is a frequency-multiplying type, generating a nominal 1MHz clock signal for DC-DC 1 and a
nominal 500kHz clock for DC-DC 2. Three input frequency ranges, spanning 20kHz to 72kHz, permit synchronization over a broad range of backplane clock
input frequencies while maintaining optimal conversion
frequencies (Table 1).

Figure 3. Output Voltage Selection
The heart of the PLL is the VCO, which is trimmed to a
nominal frequency of 1.92MHz for a control voltage (at
the PLLC pin) of 1.250V. This high-frequency internal
clock is divided digitally with a division ratio selected
by pin-strapping FPLL to GND, REF, or IN. This divided
clock is compared to the backplane clock by an internal phase comparator (rising-edge triggered). The
phase detector in turn adjusts the VCO control voltage
until the two frequencies (and phases) match. This
feedback loop is compensated at the PLLC pin.
In some applications, the backplane clock may be halted for several cycles between screen scans or may not
be immediately applied on power-up. The PLL contains
a proprietary phase-detector architecture that minimizes frequency error during clock dropouts of more
than two cycles and re-establishes lock immediately
when the clock resumes.
Ready Indicator (RDY)
The RDY pin has an open-drain output and indicates
when all three outputs are in regulation. The open-drain
output becomes high impedance when all three converter outputs are within 10% of their regulation setpoints.
Design Procedure and
______________Component Selection
DC-DC 1 Output
For VOUT1 = 5V, typical values are R2 = 100kΩ and R1
= 301kΩ. To set VOUT1 to another voltage, choose R2 =
100kΩ and CFB1 = 50pF, and calculate R1 as follows:
V

R1 = R2  OUT1 - 1
 VFB1

DC-DC 2 Positive Output
For VOUT2+ = 15V, typical values are R8 = 49.9kΩ and
R7 = 549kΩ. To set VOUT2+ to another voltage, choose
R8 = 49.9kΩ and calculate R7 as follows:
V

R7 = R8  OUT2 + - 1
 VFB2 +

DC-DC 2 Negative Output
For the negative output voltage, the FB2- threshold voltage is 0. For VOUT2- = -5V, typical values are R5 =
49.9kΩ and R6 = 200kΩ. To set VOUT2+ to another voltage, choose R5 = 49.9kΩ and calculate R6 as follows:
R6 = R5
VOUT2VREF
Output Voltage Selection
The three output voltages as well as the DC bias for the
backplane clock are adjustable on the MAX1664, as
shown in Figure 3. Set each output using two standard
1% resistors to form a voltage divider between the
selected output and its respective feedback pin. Use
the following equations to calculate the resistances.

DC Bias for the Backplane Driver
For VDCBIAS = VBPVDD/2, typical values are R3 = R4 =
100kΩ. To set the DC bias to a different value, choose
R4 and calculate R3 as follows:
V
- VBPVSS
R3 = R4  BPVDD

Figure 4. Detailed Typical Operating Circuit
Inductor Selection
The optimum inductor value for L1 is 3.3µH, as shown
in Figure 4. Inductors with less than 300mΩ DC series
resistance are recommended to achieve the highest
efficiency. Using a larger value for L1 (e.g., 4.7µH)
increases the output current capability of DC-DC 1 (by
reducing the peak ripple current) at the expense of size
and the additional output filter capacitance needed for
loop stability.
For DC-DC 2, at large input voltages (i.e., 5V) and low
switching frequencies (i.e., ≤400kHz), the value of L2
should be increased (e.g., 6.8µH or 10µH) to limit the
peak current. In some cases it may be necessary to
reduce the value of L2 to increase the output current
capability of DC-DC 2 (Table 2). The relationship between
input voltage, output voltage, switching frequency, inductor value, and maximum load current for DC-DC 2 is complex and nonlinear. This relationship is summarized in
Table 2. The L2 equation is as follows:
L2 >
[
VINP - RON(LX2P) + RON(LX2N) + RL2
(
IPEAK x 2 fDC-DC 1
)
] (I 2
PEAK )
where:
Internal MOSFET on-resistance:
RON(LX2P) = RON(LX2N) = 0.9Ω typical
External inductor DC resistance:
RL2 = 0.3Ω typical
Inductor peak current:
IPEAK = 700mA (750mA absolute maximum)
Due to the MAX1664’s high switching frequency, inductors with a high-frequency core material such as ferrite
are recommended. Powdered iron compounds are not
recommended due to their higher core losses. Typical
small-size, low-profile inductors include the ILS-3825
(Dale Electronics-Vishay) and the CLQ61B (Sumida).
These inductors are primarily used for DC-DC
converters with low height requirements. See Table 3
for more information on manufacturers who provide
low-profile inductors.

Diode Selection
The MAX1664’s high switching frequency requires fast
diodes. Schottky diodes such as the MBR0520L and
MBR0540L (Motorola) are recommended because they
have the necessary power ratings in a low-height SOD123 package. Also recommended is the MBRM5817
which is 1.1mm high. Use a Schottky diode with a forward current rating greater than:
I
V
IF > OUT OUT
0.9VIN
For the positive output of DC-DC 2, use a Schottky
diode with a voltage rating that exceeds VOUT2+. For
the negative output, use a Schottky diode with a rating
12
that exceeds VIN + V OUT2-. See Table 3 for more
information on Schottky diode manufacturers.
Filter Capacitor Selection
An output filter capacitor’s ESR and size can greatly
influence a switching converter’s output ripple, as
shown in the following equation.
 t

VRIPPLE(PK − PK) ≅ IPEAK x RESR + IOUT  ON 

_____________Applications Information
Increasing VOUT Above 5.5V
For VOUT1 output voltages above 5.5V, connect the
supplemental charge pump circuit shown in Figure 5.
The connection shown supplies a 10V 150mA output,
but other voltages from 2 x VIN to 10V can be set by
selecting the appropriate values for R1 and R2 (see
DC-DC 1 Output section). C2–C4 are shown as parallel
combinations of 3.3µF ceramic capacitors so that a
1.1mm height restriction can be met. If height is not
restricted, then larger values can be used instead of
parallel capacitor combinations.
3.3V to -20V Charge-Pump Configuration
For applications requiring negative voltages down to
-20V, an inverting charge-pump block can be added to
the VOUT2- output (Figure 6). Typical values for CF and
D1, D2, D3— MBRM5817
C1, C2, C3—ALL CERAMIC TYPES
1) During the first PFM cycle, the voltage at V1 is
charged by inductor L2 to some fraction of its final
steady-state voltage, in the normal manner described
in the Detailed Description.
2) During the first half of subsequent PFM cycles, pin
LX2P is pulled to VINP, and capacitor CF is charged
to (VINP +V1 - VD), where VD is a diode forward
voltage.
3) During subsequent second half-cycles when LX2P
flies negatively below V1, capacitor C F transfers
some of its energy to output capacitor COUT, which
then is charged to a negative voltage of approximately (VINP + 2 x V1 - 2x VD).
4) This process continues until V OUT reaches the
desired voltage, as determined by the ratio of the
FB2- feedback resistors.
5) During steady-state (in-regulation) operation, the
magnitude of the voltage at LX2P is equal to
(VOUT / 2 - VINP / 2 + VD), which must be limited to
less than 10V.

MAX1664
Ceramic capacitors are recommended because they
have low ESR and the lowest profile. Typical ceramic
capacitors are the C3225X5R series from TDK and
JMK325 series from Taiyo Yuden. See Table 3 for more
information on the manufacturers who provide surfacemount ceramic capacitors.
MAX1664
Active-Matrix Liquid Crystal Display
(AMLCD) Supply
Supply Connections and Layout
The MAX1664 performs both precision analog and
high-power switching functions. Carefully plan supply
connections, bypassing, and layout. Bypass IN and INP
with a 33Ω isolation resistor (R9, Figure 4) between
them. In addition, sufficient low-ESR bypassing must be
provided on the INP bus to ensure stability of DC-DC 1.
A solid ground plane under the power components,
with a separate ground plane under the analog nodes,
is highly recommended. These ground planes should
be connected at a single, quiet point. Analog reference
and feedback signals should be referred to and routed
over the analog ground plane. Figure 7 shows a typical
layout using separate ground planes.
