Applications Information
Boost Converter
The ISL97645A provides a complete power solution for TFT
LCD applications. The system consists of one boost
converter to generate AVDD voltage for column drivers, one
integrated VCOM buffer which can provide up to 400mA peak
current, and one supply monitor to generate the reset signal
when the input voltage is low. This part also integrates Gate
Pulse Modulator circuit that can help to optimize the picture
quality.
Frequency Selection
Enable Control
When enable pin is pulling down, the ISL97645A is shut
down reducing the supply current to <10µA. When the
voltage at enable pin reaches 2.2V, the ISL97645A is on.
9
The ISL97645A switching frequency can be user selected to
operate at either constant 650kHz or 1.2MHz. Lower
switching frequency can save power dissipation, while
higher switching frequency can allow smaller external
components like inductor and output capacitors, etc.
Connecting the FREQ pin to GND sets the PWM switching
frequency to 650kHz, or connecting FREQ pin to VIN for
1.2MHz.
Soft-Start
The soft-start is provided by an internal 2.5µA current source
to charge the external soft-start capacitor. The ISL97645A
ramps up current limit from 0A up to full value, as the voltage
at SS pin ramps from 0 to 1.2V. Hence the soft-start time is
4.8ms when the soft-start capacitor is 10nF, 22.6ms for 47nF
and 48ms for 100nF.

ISL97645A
Operation
The current through the MOSFET is limited to 2.6APEAK.
The boost converter is a current mode PWM converter
operating at either a 650kHz or 1.2MHz. It can operate in
both discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) at light load and
continuous mode (CCM). In continuous current mode,
current flows continuously in the inductor during the entire
switching cycle in steady state operation. The voltage
conversion ratio in continuous current mode is given by
Equation 1:
This restricts the maximum output current (average) based
on Equation 3:

Where ΔIL is peak to peak inductor ripple current, and is set
by Equation 4:
(EQ. 1)
(EQ. 4)
Where D is the duty cycle of the switching MOSFET.
where fS is the switching frequency (650kHz or 1.2MHz).
Figure 12 shows the block diagram of the boost regulator. It
uses a summing amplifier architecture consisting of gm
stages for voltage feedback, current feedback and slope
compensation. A comparator looks at the peak inductor
current cycle by cycle and terminates the PWM cycle if the
current limit is reached.
Table 2 gives typical values (margins are considered 10%,
3%, 20%, 10% and 15% on VIN, VO, L, fS and IOMAX).
Capacitor
An input capacitor is used to suppress the voltage ripple
injected into the boost converter. The ceramic capacitor with
capacitance larger than 10µF is recommended. The voltage
rating of input capacitor should be larger than the maximum
input voltage. Some capacitors are recommended in Table 1
for input capacitor.
An external resistor divider is required to divide the output
voltage down to the nominal reference voltage. Current
drawn by the resistor network should be limited to maintain
the overall converter efficiency. The maximum value of the
resistor network is limited by the feedback input bias current
and the potential for noise being coupled into the feedback
pin. A resistor network in the order of 60kΩ is recommended.
The boost converter output voltage is determined by
Equation 2:

Rectifier Diode
A high-speed diode is necessary due to the high switching
frequency. Schottky diodes are recommended because of
their fast recovery time and low forward voltage. The reverse
voltage rating of this diode should be higher than the
maximum output voltage. The rectifier diode must meet the
output current and peak inductor current requirements. The

Compensation
The boost converter of ISL97645A can be compensated by
a RC network connected from CM1 pin to ground. 4.7nF and
10k RC network is used in the demo board. The larger value
resistor and lower value capacitor can lower the transient
overshoot, however, at the expense of stability of the loop.
Cascaded MOSFET Application
An 20V N-Channel MOSFET is integrated in the boost
regulator. For the applications where the output voltage is
greater than 20V, an external cascaded MOSFET is needed
as shown in Figure 14. The voltage rating of the external
MOSFET should be greater than AVDD.

Note: Capacitors have a voltage coefficient that makes their
effective capacitance drop as the voltage across then
increases. COUT in the equation above assumes the
effective value of the capacitor at a particular voltage and not
the manufacturer’s stated value, measured at 0V.
Table 5 shows some selections of output capacitors.
Some inductors are recommended in Table 3.
INDUCTOR
For low ESR ceramic capacitors, the output ripple is
dominated by the charging and discharging of the output
capacitor. The voltage rating of the output capacitor should
be greater than the maximum output voltage.

Output Capacitor
The output capacitor supplies the load directly and reduces
the ripple voltage at the output. Output ripple voltage
consists of two components:
1. the voltage drop due to the inductor ripple current flowing
through the ESR of output capacitor.

Supply Monitor Circuit
Gate Pulse Modulator Circuit
The Supply Monitor circuit monitors the voltage on VDIV,
and sets open-drain output RESET low when VDIV is below
1.15V (rising) or 1.1V (falling).
The gate pulse modulator circuit functions as a three way
multiplexer, switching VGHM between ground, VDD1 and
VGH. Voltage selection is provided by digital inputs VDPM
(enable) and VFLK (control). High to low delay and slew
control is provided by external components on pins CE and
RE, respectively. A block diagram of the gate pulse
modulator circuit is shown in Figure 16.
There is a delay on the rising edge, controlled by a capacitor
on CD2. When VDIV exceeds 1.15V (rising), CD2 is charged
up from 0V to 1.215V by a 10µA current source. Once CD2
exceeds 1.215V, RESET will go tri-state. When VDIV falls
below 1.1V, RESET will become low with a 750 pull-down
resistance. The delay time is controlled by Equation 7:
t delay = 121.5k × CD2
(EQ. 7)
For example, the delay time is 12.15ms if the CD2 = 100nF.
Figure 15 is the Supply Monitor Circuit timing diagram.
1.15V
VDIV
When VDPM is LOW, the block is disabled and VGHM is
grounded. When the input voltage exceeds UVLO threshold,
VDPM starts to drive an external capacitor with 20μA. Once
VDPM exceeds 1.215V, the GPM circuit is enabled, and the
output VGH_M is determined by VFLK, RESET signal and
VGH voltage. If RESET signal is high, and when VFLK goes
high, VGHM is pulled to VGH by a 70Ω switch. When VFLK
goes low, there is a delay controlled by capacitor CE,
following which VGHM is driven to VDD1, with a slew rate
controlled by resistor RE. Note that VDD1 is used only as a
reference voltage for an amplifier, thus does not have to
source or sink a significant DC current.

Low to high transition is determined primarily by the switch
resistance and the external capacitive load. High to low
transition is more complex. Take the case where the block is
already enabled (VDPM is H). When VFLK is H, pin CE is
grounded. On the falling edge of VFLK, a current is passed
into pin CE, to charge an external capacitor to 1.2V. This
creates a delay, equal to CE*4200. At this point, the output
begins to pull down from VGH to VDD1. The slew current is
equal to 300/(RE + 5000), and the dv/dt slew rate is
Isl/CLOAD.
where CLOAD is the load capacitance applied to VGHM.
When RESET signal changes to low, and VGH voltage is
above 2.5V, the VGH_M will be tied to VGH voltage until the
VGH voltage falls down to 2.5V. If the VGH voltage is lower
than 2.5V, GPM block will not work properly, and there is no
active control for VGH_M output. The following table shows
the VGH_M status based on VIN, VGH and RESET:

Start-Up Sequence
When VIN exceeds VLOR and ENABLE reaches the VIH
threshold value, Boost converter starts up, and gate pulse
modulator circuit output holds until VDPM is charged to
1.215V. Note that there is a DC path in the boost converter
from the input to the output through the inductor and diode,
hence the input voltage will be seen at output with a forward
voltage drop of diode before the part is enabled. If this
voltage is not desired, the following circuit can be inserted
between input and inductor to disconnect the DC path when
the part is disabled.

positive and negative at the line rate for the display. Thus the
amplifier must be capable of sourcing and sinking capacitive
pulses of current, which can occasionally be quite large (a
few 100mA for typical applications).
The ISL97645A VCOM amplifier's output current is limited to
400mA. This limit level, which is roughly the same for
sourcing and sinking, is included to maintain reliable
operation of the part. It does not necessarily prevent a large
temperature rise if the current is maintained. (In this case the
whole chip may be shut down by the thermal trip to protect
functionality.) If the display occasionally demands current
pulses higher than this limit, the reservoir capacitor will
provide the excess and the amplifier will top the reservoir
capacitor back up once the pulse has stopped. This will
happen on the µs time scale in practical systems and for
pulses 2 or 3 times the current limit, the VCOM voltage will
have settled again before the next line is processed.

ISL97645A provides the overall fault protections including
over current protection and over-temperature protection.
An internal temperature sensor continuously monitors the
die temperature. In the event that die temperature exceeds
the thermal trip point, the device will shut down and disable
itself. The upper and lower trip points are typically set to
+140°C and +100°C respectively.

Layout Recommendation
The device’s performance including efficiency, output noise,
transient response and control loop stability is dramatically
affected by the PCB layout. PCB layout is critical, especially
at high switching frequency.
There are some general guidelines for layout:
1. Place the external power components (the input
capacitors, output capacitors, boost inductor and output
diodes, etc.) in close proximity to the device. Traces to
these components should be kept as short and wide as
possible to minimize parasitic inductance and resistance.
2. Place VIN and VDD bypass capacitors close to the pins.
3. Reduce the loop area with large AC amplitudes and fast
slew rate.
4. The feedback network should sense the output voltage
directly from the point of load, and be as far away from LX
node as possible.
5. The power ground (PGND) and signal ground (SGND)
pins should be connected at only one point.
6. The exposed die plate, on the underneath of the
package, should be soldered to an equivalent area of
metal on the PCB. This contact area should have multiple
via connections to the back of the PCB as well as
connections to intermediate PCB layers, if available, to
maximize thermal dissipation away from the IC.
7. To minimize the thermal resistance of the package when
soldered to a multi-layer PCB, the amount of copper track
and ground plane area connected to the exposed die
plate should be maximized and spread out as far as
possible from the IC. The bottom and top PCB areas
especially should be maximized to allow thermal
dissipation to the surrounding air.
8. A signal ground plane, separate from the power ground
plane and connected to the power ground pins only at the
exposed die plate, should be used for ground return
connections for control circuit.
9. Minimize feedback input track lengths to avoid switching
noise pick-up.
A demo board is available to illustrate the proper layout
implementation.
