EL7586, EL7586A ® Data Sheet January 17, 2006 FN9210.2 TFT-LCD Power Supply Features The EL7586 and EL7586A represent multiple output regulators for use in all large panel, TFT-LCD applications. Both feature a single boost converter with an integrated 2A 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. • 2A current limit FET options Both EL7586 and EL7586A also integrate fault protection for all four channels. Once a fault is detected, the device is latched off until the input supply or EN is cycled. EL7586 also features an integrated start-up sequence for VBOOST/VLOGIC, VOFF, then VON or for VLOGIC, VOFF, VBOOST, and VON. The latter requires a single external transistor. The timing of the start-up sequence is set using an external capacitor. EL7586A features an immediately-enabled VLOGIC output which is independent of EN input. The VLOGIC output will be switched off if a fault is detected and the power supply needs to be recycled to reset this condition. Both the EL7586 and EL7586A are pin-compatible, come in the 20 Ld 4x4 QFN package, and are specified for operation over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. • Up to 20V boost out • 1% regulation on all outputs • VLOGIC-VOFF-VBOOST-VON or VBOOST/VLOGIC-VOFF-VON sequence control - VLOGIC is on from start-up for EL7586A • Programmable sequence delay • Fully fault protected • Thermal shutdown • Internal soft-start • 20 Ld 4x4 QFN packages • Pb-free plus anneal available (RoHS compliant) Applications • LCD monitors (15”+) • LCD-TV (up to 40”+) • Notebook displays (up to 16”) • Industrial/medical LCD displays 7” 20 Ld 4x4 QFN MDP0046 (Pb-free) EL7586ILZ-T13 (Note) 7586ILZ 13” 20 Ld 4x4 QFN MDP0046 (Pb-free) EL7586AILZ (Note) 7586AIL Z - 20 Ld 4x4 QFN MDP0046 (Pb-free) EL7586AILZ-T7 (Note) 7586AIL Z 7” 20 Ld 4x4 QFN MDP0046 (Pb-free) 13” 20 Ld 4x4 QFN MDP0046 (Pb-free) NOTE: Intersil Pb-free plus anneal products employ special Pb-free material sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin plate termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations.

The system consists of one high efficiency boost converter and three linear-regulator controllers (VON, VOFF, and VLOGIC) with multiple protection functions. A block diagram is shown in Figure 25. Table 1 lists the recommended components. 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 multiplayer ceramic capacitors. This results in a compact, low cost power system for LCD panel design. The EL7586, and EL7586A integrate 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. TABLE 1.

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: A VDD 1 ---------------- = ------------1–D V IN Where D is the duty cycle of the switching MOSFET. Figure 26 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. 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 The current through the MOSFET is limited to 2A peak for the EL7586. This restricts the maximum output current based on the following equation: V IN ∆I I OMAX = I LMT – --------L × -------- 2 VO 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. 9 FN9210.2 January 17, 2006 EL7586, EL7586A EN REFERENCE GENERATOR VREF SGND OSCILLATOR COMP SLOPE COMPENSATION OSC PWM LOGIC CONTROLLER Σ LX BUFFER VOLTAGE AMPLIFIER FBB GM AMPLIFIER CINT CURRENT AMPLIFIER UVLO COMPARATOR EN CURRENT REF CURRENT LIMIT COMPARATOR VDD SHUTDOWN & START-UP CONTROL PG THERMAL SHUTDOWN VREF + - DRVP BUFFER FBP UVLO COMPARATOR CDLY SS + - DRVN PGND 0.2V VREF DELB SS + - DRVL BUFFER BUFFER FBN 0.4V FBL UVLO COMPARATOR UVLO COMPARATOR FIGURE 25.

The voltage rating of the output capacitor should be greater than the maximum output voltage. NOTE: Capacitors have a voltage coefficient that makes their effective capacitance drop as the voltage across them increases.

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 O – V IN IO 1 V RIPPLE = I LPK × ESR + ------------------------ × ---------------- × ----VO C OUT f S For low ESR ceramic capacitors, the output ripple is dominated by the charging and discharging of the output 12 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. FN9210.2 January 17, 2006 EL7586, EL7586A 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 Figures 33 and 34. 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 as shown in Figure 27. The voltage rating of the external MOSFET should be greater than VBOOST. VBOOST VIN LX FB EL7586 EL7586A FIGURE 27. CASCADED MOSFET TOPOLOGY FOR HIGH OUTPUT VOLTAGE APPLICATIONS Linear-Regulator Controllers (VON, VLOGIC, and VOFF) The EL7586 and EL7586A include three independent linearregulator 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 28, 29, and 30 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). 13 FN9210.2 January 17, 2006 EL7586, EL7586A For the EL7586 and EL7586A, the minimum drive current is: I_DRVL_min = 8mA The minimum base-emitter resistor, RBL, can now be calculated as: VIN OR VPROT (3V TO 6V) LDO_LOG 0.9V PG_LDOL RBL_min = VBE_max/(I_DRVL_min - Ic/Hfe_min) = 1.25V/(8mA - 500mA/100) = 417Ω RBL 500Ω + - Q5 VLOGIC (1.3V TO 3.6V) DRVL This is the minimum value that can be used - so, we now choose a convenient value greater than this minimum value; say 500Ω. Larger values may be used to reduce quiescent current, however, regulation may be adversely affected, by supply noise if RBL is made too high in value.

VOFF FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM 14 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 onboard LDO controller is a wide band (>10MHz) transconductance amplifier capable of 4mA drive current, which is sufficient for up to 40mA or more output current under the low dropout condition (forced beta of 10). Typical VON voltage supported by EL7586 and EL7586A ranges from +15V to +36V. A fault comparator is also included for monitoring the output voltage. The undervoltage threshold is set at 25% below the 1.2V reference. The VOFF power supply is used to power the negative 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_OFF). The LDO_OFF regulator uses an external NPN transistor as the pass element. The onboard LDO controller is a wide band (>10MHz) transconductance amplifier capable of 4mA drive current, which is sufficient for up to 40mA or more output current under the low dropout condition (forced beta of 10). Typical VOFF voltage supported by EL7586 and EL7586A ranges from -5V to -20V. A fault comparator is also included for monitoring the output voltage. The undervoltage threshold is set at 200mV above the 0.2V reference level. 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 FN9210.2 January 17, 2006 EL7586, EL7586A more output current under the low dropout condition (forced beta of 10). Typical VLOGIC voltage supported by EL7586 and EL7586A 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. CHARGE PUMP VIN OUTPUT OR AVDD 7kΩ DRVP Set-Up Output Voltage Refer to the Typical Application Diagram, the output voltages of VON, VOFF, and VLOGIC are determined by the following equations: NPN CASCODE TRANSISTOR Q3 VON EL7586 EL7586A FBP R 12 V ON = V REF × 1 + --------- R 11 R 22 V OFF = V REFN + ---------- × ( V REFN – V REF ) R 21 R 42 - V LOGIC = V REF × 1 + --------R 41 FIGURE 31.

LX 0.1µF Resistor networks in the order of 250kΩ, 120kΩ and 10kΩ are recommended for VON, VOFF and VLOGIC, respectively. AVDD 0.1µF Charge Pump To generate an output voltage higher than VBOOST, single or multiple stages of charge pumps are needed. The number of stage is determined by the input and output voltage. For positive charge pump stages: V OUT + V CE – V INPUT N POSITIVE ≥ -------------------------------------------------------------V INPUT – 2 × V F 7kΩ DRVP Q3 0.1µF 0.1µF VON 0.47µF EL7586 EL7586A (>36V) 0.1µF 0.22µF FBP where VCE is the dropout voltage of the pass component of the linear regulator. It ranges from 0.3V to 1V depending on the transistor. VF is the forward-voltage of the charge pump rectifier diode. The number of negative charge pump stages is given by: V OUTPUT + V CE N NEGATIVE ≥ ------------------------------------------------V INPUT – 2 × V F To achieve high efficiency and low material cost, the lowest number of charge pump stages which can meet the above requirements, is always preferred. High Charge Pump Output Voltage (>36V) Applications 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 31; or the linear regulator can control only one stage charge pump and regulate the final charge pump output as shown in Figure 32. 15 FIGURE 32. THE LINEAR REGULATOR CONTROLS ONE STAGE OF CHARGE PUMP Discontinuous/Continuous Boost Operation and it's Effect on the Charge Pumps The EL7586 and EL7586A 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. 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. FN9210.2 January 17, 2006 EL7586, EL7586A The following equation gives the boundary between discontinuous and continuous boost operation. For continuous operation (LX switching every clock cycle) we require that: For the EL7586, 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. I(AVDD_load) > D*(1-D)*VIN/(2*L*FOSC) The EL7586A is the same as the EL7586 except VREF and VLOGIC turn on when input voltage (VDD) exceeds 2.5V. When a fault is detected, the outputs and the input protection will turn off but VREF will stay on. 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 L = 6.8µH and I(AVDD) > 89mA L = 3.3µH and I(AVDD) > 184mA Charge Pump Output Capacitors 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 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. VON is enabled at the beginning of the sixth ramp. AVDD, PG, VOFF, DELB and VON are checked at end of this ramp. Fault Protection Once the start-up sequence is complete, the voltage on the CDLY capacitor remains at 1.15V until either a fault is detected or the EN pin is disabled. If a fault is detected, the voltage on CDLY rises to 2.4V at which point the chip is disabled until the power is recycled or enable is toggled. Component Selection for Start-Up Sequencing and Fault Protection where fOSC is the switching frequency. Start-Up Sequence Figure 33 and 34 show 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. When the input voltage is higher than 2.5V, an internal current source starts to charge CCDLY to an upper threshold using a fast ramp followed by a slow ramp. During the initial slow ramp, the device checks whether there is a fault condition. If no fault is found, CCDLY is discharged after the first peak and VREF turns on. 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. 16 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 EL7586 and EL7586A have advanced fault detection systems 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.

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 demo board is available to illustrate the proper layout implementation. Demo Board Layout FIGURE 35. TOP LAYER 19 FIGURE 36.
