TFT-LCD Power Supply
Features
The EL7585 represents a multiple output regulators for use
in all large panel, TFT-LCD applications. It features a single
boost converter with integrated 3.5A FET, two positive LDOs
for VON and VLOGIC generation, and a single negative LDO
for VOFF generation. The boost converter can be
programmed to operate in either P-mode or PI-mode for
improved load regulation.
• 3.5A current limit FET options
The EL7585 also integrates fault protection for all four
channels. Once a fault is detected, the device is latched off
until the input supply or EN is cycled. This device also
features an integrated start-up sequence for VBOOST, VOFF,
then VON or for VOFF, VBOOST, and VON sequencing. The
latter requires a single external transistor. The timing of the
start-up sequence is set using an external capacitor.
The EL7585 is specified for operation over the -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.

Applications Information
The EL7585 is a highly integrated multiple output power
solution for TFT-LCD applications. The system consists of
one high efficiency boost converter and three linearregulator controllers (VON, VOFF, and VLOGIC) with multiple
protection functions. A block diagram is shown in Figure 18.
Table 1 lists the recommended components.
The EL7585 integrates an N-channel MOSFET boost
converter to minimize external component count and cost.
The AVDD, VON, VOFF, and VLOGIC output voltages are
independently set using external resistors. VON, VOFF
voltages require external charge pumps which are post
regulated using the integrated LDO controllers.

Boost Converter
The main boost converter is a current mode PWM converter at
a fixed frequency of 1MHz which enables the use of low profile
inductors and multilayer ceramic capacitors. This results in a
compact, low cost power system for LCD panel design.
The EL7585 is designed for continuous current mode, but
they can also operate in discontinuous current mode at light
load. 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:
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 the
following equation:
R1 + R2
A VDD = --------------------- × V REF
R1
A VDD
1
---------------- = ------------1–D
V IN
The current through the MOSFET is limited to 3.5A peak.
This restricts the maximum output current based on the
following equation:
Where D is the duty cycle of the switching MOSFET.
V IN
∆I
I OMAX =  I LMT – --------L × --------
2  VO
Figure 19 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.
Where ∆IL is peak to peak inductor ripple current, and is set by:
V IN D
∆I L = --------- × ----L
fS
where fS is the switching frequency.

The EL7585 can operate in either P mode or PI mode.
Connecting the CINT pin directly to VIN will enable P mode;
For better load regulation, use PI mode with a 4.7nF
capacitor in series with a 10K resistor between CINT and
ground. This value may be reduced to improve transient
performance, however, very low values will reduce loop
stability.
Input Capacitor
Boost feedback resistors
An input capacitor is used to supply the peak charging
current to the converter. It is recommended that CIN be
larger than 10µF. The reflected ripple voltage will be smaller
with larger CIN. The voltage rating of input capacitor should
be larger than maximum input voltage.
As the boost output voltage, AVDD, is reduced below 12V the
effective voltage feedback in the IC increases the ratio of
voltage to current feedback at the summing comparator
because R2 decreases relative to R1. To maintain stable
operation over the complete current range of the IC, the
voltage feedback to the FBB pin should be reduced
proportionally, as AVDD is reduced, by means of a series
resistor-capacitor network (R7 and C7) in parallel with R1,
with a pole frequency (fp) set to approximately 10kHz for C2
effective = 10µF and 4kHz for C2 (effective) = 30µF.
Boost Inductor
The boost inductor is a critical part which influences the
output voltage ripple, transient response, and efficiency.
Values of 3.3µH to 10µH are to match the internal slope
compensation. The inductor must be able to handle the
following average and peak current:
R7 = ((1/0.1 x R2) - 1/R1)^-1
C7 = 1/(2 x 3.142 x fp x R7)
IO
I LAVG = -----------1–D
PI mode CINT (C23) and RINT (R10)
∆I
I LPK = I LAVG + --------L
2
The IC is designed to operate with a minimum C23 capacitor
of 4.7nF and a minimum C2 (effective) = 10µF.
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 rectifier
diode must meet the output current and peak inductor
current requirements.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor supplies the load directly and reduces
the ripple voltage at the output. Output ripple voltage
consists of two components: the voltage drop due to the
inductor ripple current flowing through the ESR of output
capacitor, and the charging and discharging of the output
capacitor.

V RIPPLE = I LPK × ESR + ------------------------ × ---------------- × ----VO

For low ESR ceramic capacitors, the output ripple is
dominated by the charging and discharging of the output
10
Note that, for high voltage AVDD, the voltage coefficient of
ceramic capacitors (C2) reduces their effective capacitance
greatly; a 16V 10µF ceramic can drop to around 3µF at 15V.
To improve the transient load response of AVDD in PI mode,
a resistor may be added in series with the C23 capacitor. The
larger the resistor the lower the overshoot but at the expense
of stability of the converter loop - especially at high currents.
With L = 10µH, AVDD = 15V, C23 = 4.7nF, C2 (effective)
should have a capacitance of greater than 10µF. RINT (R7)
can have values up to 5kΩ for C2 (effective) up to 20µF and
up to 10K for C2 (effective) up to 30µF.
Larger values of RINT (R7) may be possible if maximum
AVDD load currents less than the current limit are used. To
ensure AVDD stability, the IC should be operated at the
maximum desired current and then the transient load
response of AVDD should be used to determine the
maximum value of RINT.

Operation of the DELB Output Function
An open drain DELB output is provided to allow the boost
output voltage, developed at C2 (see application diagram),
to be delayed via an external switch (Q4) to a time after the
VBOOST supply and negative VOFF charge pump supply
have achieved regulation during the start-up sequence
shown in Figure 28. This then allows the AVDD and VON
supplies to start-up from 0V instead of the normal offset
voltage of VIN-VDIODE (D1) if Q4 were not present.
When DELB is activated by the start-up sequencer, it sinks
50µA allowing a controlled turn-on of Q4 and charge-up of
C9. C16 can be used to control the turn-on time of Q4 to
reduce inrush current into C9. The potential divider formed
by R9 and R8 can be used to limit the VGS voltage of Q4 if
required by the voltage rating of this device. When the
voltage at DELB falls to less than 0.6V, the sink current is
increased to ~1.2mA to firmly pull DELB to 0V.
The voltage at DELB is monitored by the fault protection
circuit so that if the initial 50µA sink current fails to pull DELB
below ~0.6V after the start-up sequencing has completed,
then a fault condition will be detected and a fault time-out
ramp will be initiated on the CDEL capacitor (C7).
Operation of the PG Output Function
The PG output consists of an internal pull-up PMOS device
to VIN, to turn-off the external Q1 protection switch and a
current limited pull-down NMOS device which sinks ~15µA
allowing a controlled turn-on of Q1 gate capacitance. CO is
used to control how fast Q1 turns-on - limiting inrush current
into C1. When the voltage at the PG pin falls to less than
0.6V, the PG sink current is increased to ~1.2mA to firmly
pull the pin to 0V.
The voltage at PG is monitored by the fault protection circuit
so that if the initial 15µA sink current fails to pull PG below
~0.6V after the start-up sequencing has completed, then a
fault condition will be detected and a fault time-out ramp will
be initiated on the CDEL capacitor (C7).
Cascaded MOSFET Application
A 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
11
as shown in Figure 20. The voltage rating of the external
MOSFET should be greater than VBOOST.

Linear-Regulator Controllers (VON, VLOGIC, and
VOFF)
The EL7585 includes three independent linear-regulator
controllers, in which two are positive output voltage (VON
and VLOGIC), and one is negative. The VON, VOFF, and
VLOGIC linear-regulator controller functional diagrams,
applications circuits are shown in Figures 21, 22, and 23
respectively.
Calculation of the Linear Regulator Base-Emitter
Resistors (RBL, RBP and RBN)
For the pass transistor of the linear regulator, low frequency
gain (Hfe) and unity gain freq. (fT) are usually specified in the
datasheet. The pass transistor adds a pole to the loop
transfer function at fp=fT/Hfe. Therefore, in order to maintain
phase margin at low frequency, the best choice for a pass
device is often a high frequency low gain switching
transistor. Further improvement can be obtained by adding a
base-emitter resistor RBE (RBP, RBL, RBN in the Functional
Block Diagram), which increase the pole frequency to:
fp=fT*(1+ Hfe *re/RBE)/Hfe, where re=KT/qIc. So choose the
lowest value RBE in the design as long as there is still
enough base current (IB) to support the maximum output
current (IC).
We will take as an example the VLOGIC linear regulator. If a
Fairchild FMMT549 PNP transistor is used as the external
pass transistor, Q5 in the application diagram, then for a
maximum VLOGIC operating requirement of 500mA the data
sheet indicates Hfe_min = 100.

The base-emitter saturation voltage is: Vbe_max = 1.25V
(note this is normally a Vbe ~ 0.7V, however, for the Q5
transistor an internal Darlington arrangement is used to
increase it's current gain, giving a 'base-emitter' voltage of
2 x VBE).
(Note that using a high current Darlington PNP transistor for
Q5 requires that VIN > VLOGIC + 2V. Should a lower input
voltage be required, then an ordinary high gain PNP
transistor should be selected for Q5 so as to allow a lower
collector-emitter saturation voltage).

The VON power supply is used to power the positive supply
of the row driver in the LCD panel. The DC/DC consists of an
external diode-capacitor charge pump powered from the
inductor (LX) of the boost converter, followed by a low
dropout linear regulator (LDO_ON). The LDO_ON regulator
uses an external PNP transistor as the pass element. The

rectifier diode.
The VLOGIC power supply is used to power the logic circuitry
within the LCD panel. The DC/DC may be powered directly
from the low voltage input, 3.3V or 5.0V, or it may be
powered through the fault protection switch. The
LDO_LOGIC regulator uses an external PNP transistor as
the pass element. The onboard LDO controller is a wide
band (>10MHz) transconductance amplifier capable of
16mA drive current, which is sufficient for up to 160mA or
more output current under the low dropout condition (forced
beta of 10). Typical VLOGIC voltage supported by EL7585
ranges from +1.3V to VDD-0.2V. A fault comparator is also
included for monitoring the output voltage. The undervoltage
threshold is set at 25% below the 1.2V reference.
In the applications where the charge pump output voltage is
over 36V, an external npn transistor need to be inserted into
between DRVP pin and base of pass transistor Q3 as shown
in Figure 24; or the linear regulator can control only one
stage charge pump and regulate the final charge pump
output as shown in Figure 25.
The number of negative charge pump stages is given by:

Discontinuous/Continuous Boost Operation and
its Effect on the Charge Pumps
detected, the outputs and the input protection will turn off
and the chip will power down.
The EL7585 VON and VOFF architecture uses LX switching
edges to drive diode charge pumps from which LDO
regulators generate the VON and VOFF supplies. It can be
appreciated that should a regular supply of LX switching
edges be interrupted, for example during discontinuous
operation at light AVDD boost load currents, then this may
affect the performance of VON and VOFF regulation depending on their exact loading conditions at the time.
If no fault is found, CCDLY continues ramping up and down
until the sequence is completed.
To optimize VON/VOFF regulation, the boundary of
discontinuous/continuous operation of the boost converter
can be adjusted, by suitable choice of inductor given VIN,
VOUT, switching frequency and the AVDD current loading, to
be in continuous operation.
The following equation gives the boundary between
discontinuous and continuous boost operation. For
continuous operation (LX switching every clock cycle) we
require that:
I(AVDD_load) > D*(1-D)*VIN/(2*L*FOSC)
where the duty cycle, D = (AVDD - VIN)/AVDD
For example, with VIN = 5V, FOSC = 1.0MHz and AVDD =
12V we find continuous operation of the boost converter can
be guaranteed for:
L = 10µH and I(AVDD) > 61mA
During the second ramp, the device checks the status of
VREF and over temperature. At the peak of the second ramp,
PG output goes low and enables the input protection PMOS
Q1. Q1 is a controlled FET used to prevent in-rush current into
VBOOST before VBOOST is enabled internally. Its rate of turn
on is controlled by Co. When a fault is detected, M1 will turn
off and disconnect the inductor from VIN.
With the input protection FET on, NODE1 (See Typical
Application Diagram) will rise to ~VIN. Initially the boost is not
enabled so VBOOST rises to VIN-VDIODE through the output
diode. Hence, there is a step at VBOOST during this part of the
start-up sequence. If this step is not desirable, an external
PMOS FET can be used to delay the output until the boost is
enabled internally. The delayed output appears at AVDD.
For EL7585, VBOOST and VLOGIC soft-start at the beginning
of the third ramp. The soft-start ramp depends on the value
of the CDLY capacitor. For CDLY of 220nF, the soft-start time
is ~2ms.
VOFF turns on at the start of the fourth peak. At the fifth
peak, the open drain o/p DELB goes low to turn on the
external PMOS Q4 to generate a delayed VBOOST output.
L = 6.8µH and I(AVDD) > 89mA
VON is enabled at the beginning of the sixth ramp. AVDD,
PG, VOFF, DELB and VON are checked at end of this ramp.
L = 3.3µH and I(AVDD) > 184mA
Fault Protection
Charge Pump Output Capacitors
During the startup sequence, prior to BOOST soft-start,
VREF is checked to be within ±20% of its final value and the
device temperature is checked. If either of these are not
within the expected range, the part is disabled until the
power is recycled or EN is toggled.
Ceramic capacitors with low ESR are recommended. With
ceramic capacitors, the output ripple voltage is dominated by
the capacitance value. The capacitance value can be
chosen by the following equation:
I OUT
C OUT ≥ -----------------------------------------------------2 × V RIPPLE × f OSC
where fOSC is the switching frequency.
Start-Up Sequence
Figure 26 shows a detailed start-up sequence waveform. For
a successful power-up, there should be six peaks at VCDLY.
When a fault is detected, the device will latch off until either
EN is toggled or the input supply is recycled.
If EN is L, the device is powered down. If EN is H, and the
input voltage (VDD) exceeds 2.5V, an internal current source
starts to charge CDLY to an upper threshold using a fast
ramp followed by a slow ramp. If EN is low at this point, the
CDLY ramp will be delayed until EN goes high.
The first four ramps on CDLY (two up, two down) are used to
initialize the fault protection switch and to check whether
there is a fault condition on CDLY or VREF. If a fault is
14
If CDELAY is shorted low, then the sequence will not start,
while if CDELAY is shorted H, the first down ramp will not
occur and the sequence will not complete.
Once the start-up sequence is completed, the chip
continuously monitors CDLY, DELB, FBP, FBL, FBN, VREF,
FBB and PG and checks for faults. During this time, the
voltage on the CDLY capacitor remains at 1.15V until either a
fault is detected, or the EN pin is pulled low.
A fault on CDELAY, VREF or temperature will shut down the
chip immediately. If a fault on any other output is detected,
CDELAY will ramp up linearly with a 5µA (typical) current to
the upper fault threshold (typically 2.4V), at which point the
chip is disabled until the power is recycled or EN is toggled.
If the fault condition is removed prior to the end of the ramp,
the voltage on the CDLY capacitor returns to 1.15V.
FN7345.2
March 9, 2006
EL7585
Typical fault thresholds for FBP, FBL, FBN and FBB are
included in the tables. PG and DELB fault thresholds are
typically 0.6V.
CINT has an internal current-limited clamp to keep the
voltage within its normal range. If CINT is shorted low, the
boost regulator will attempt to regulate to 0V. If CINT is
shorted H, the regulator switches to P mode.
If any of the regulated outputs (VBOOST, VON, VOFF or
VLOGIC) are driven above their target levels the drive
circuitry will switch off until the output returns to its expected
value.
If VBOOST is excessively loaded, the current limit will
prevent damage to the chip. While in current limit, the part
acts like a current source and the regulated output will drop.
If the output drops below the fault threshold, a ramp will be
initiated on CDELAY and, provided that the fault is sustained,
the chip will be disabled on completion of the ramp.
In some circumstances, (depending on ambient temperature
and thermal design of the board), continuous operation at
current limit may result in the over-temperature threshold
being exceeded, which will cause the part to disable
immediately.
All I/O also have ESD protection, which in many cases will
also provide overvoltage protection, relative to either ground
or VDD. However, these will not generally operate unless
abs max ratings are exceeded.
15
Component Selection for Start-Up Sequencing and
Fault Protection
The CREF capacitor is typically set at 220nF and is required
to stabilize the VREF output. The range of CREF is from
22nF to 1µF and should not be more than five times the
capacitor on CDEL to ensure correct start-up operation.
The CDEL capacitor is typically 220nF and has a usable
range from 47nF minimum to several microfarads - only
limited by the leakage in the capacitor reaching µA levels.
CDEL should be at least 1/5 of the value of CREF (See
above). Note with 220nF on CDEL the fault time-out will be
typically 50ms and the use of a larger/smaller value will vary
this time proportionally (e.g. 1µF will give a fault time-out
period of typically 230ms).
Fault Sequencing
The EL7585 has an advanced fault detection system which
protects the IC from both adjacent pin shorts during
operation and shorts on the output supplies.
A high quality layout/design of the PCB, in respect of
grounding quality and decoupling is necessary to avoid
falsely triggering the fault detection scheme - especially
during start-up. The user is directed to the layout guidelines
and component selection sections to avoid problems during
initial evaluation and prototype PCB generation.

Over-Temperature Protection
An internal temperature sensor continuously monitors the
die temperature. In the event that the die temperature
exceeds the thermal trip point of 140°C, the device will shut
down.
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 VREF and VDD bypass capacitors close to the pins.
3. Minimize the length of traces carrying fast signals and
high current.
4. All feedback networks 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 near the main
decoupling capacitors.
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 feedback resistor networks (R1, R11,
R41) and the VREF capacitor, C22, the CDELAY capacitor
C7 and the integrator capacitor C23.
9. Minimize feedback input track lengths to avoid switching
noise pick-up.
A two-layer demo board is available to illustrate the proper
layout implementation. A four-layer demo board can be used
to further optimize the layout recommendations.
