EL7585A ® Data Sheet September 21, 2005 FN7523.2 TFT-LCD Power Supply Features The EL7585A 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 EL7585A 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 VLOGIC output is constantly enabled, but does shut down when a fault condition is detected. • 3V to 5V input • Up to 20V boost out • 1% regulation on all outputs • VOFF-VBOOST-VON or VBOOST-VOFF-VON sequence control - VLOGIC is on from start-up for EL7585A • Programmable sequence delay • Fully fault protected • Thermal shutdown • Internal soft-start • 20 Ld QFN packages • Pb-free plus anneal available (RoHS compliant) The EL7585A is specified for operation over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

BLOCK DIAGRAM Applications Information The EL7585A 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 20. Table 1 lists the recommended components. The EL7585A 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.

RECOMMENDED COMPONENTS DESIGNATION DESCRIPTION FN7523.2 September 21, 2005 EL7585A 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 EL7585A 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 21 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 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 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. FN7523.2 September 21, 2005 EL7585A 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 22. The voltage rating of the external MOSFET should be greater than VBOOST. VIN VBOOST LX FB 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). For the EL7585A, the minimum drive current is: I_DRVL_min = 8mA The minimum base-emitter resistor, RBL, can now be calculated as: EL7585A RBL_min = VBE_max/(I_DRVL_min - Ic/Hfe_min) = 1.25V/(8mA - 500mA/100) = 417Ω FIGURE 22. CASCADED MOSFET TOPOLOGY FOR HIGH OUTPUT VOLTAGE APPLICATIONS Linear-Regulator Controllers (VON, VLOGIC, and VOFF) The EL7585A 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 23, 24, and 25 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). 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.

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 EL7585A 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 more output current under the low dropout condition (forced beta of 10). Typical VLOGIC voltage supported by EL7585A 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. Set-Up Output Voltage Refer to the Typical Application Diagram, the output voltages of VON, VOFF, and VLOGIC are determined by the following equations: R 12 V ON = V REF × 1 + --------- R 11 R 22 V OFF = V REFN + ---------- × ( V REFN – V REF ) R 1: N1 21 FIGURE 25.

The LDO_ON regulator uses an external PNP transistor as the pass element.

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 where VCE is the dropout voltage of the pass component of the linear regulator. It ranges from 0.3V to 1V depending on FN7523.2 September 21, 2005 EL7585A the transistor. VF is the forward-voltage of the charge pump rectifier diode. Discontinuous/Continuous Boost Operation and its Effect on the Charge Pumps The number of negative charge pump stages is given by: The EL7585A 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. 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 26; or the linear regulator can control only one stage charge pump and regulate the final charge pump output as shown in Figure 27. CHARGE PUMP VIN OUTPUT OR AVDD NPN CASCODE TRANSISTOR 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) 7kΩ DRVP 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. where the duty cycle, D = (AVDD - VIN)/AVDD Q3 For example, with VIN = 5V, FOSC = 1.0MHz and AVDD = 12V we find continuous operation of the boost converter can be guaranteed for: VON EL7585A L = 10µH and I(AVDD) > 61mA L = 6.8µH and I(AVDD) > 89mA FBP L = 3.3µH and I(AVDD) > 184mA Charge Pump Output Capacitors FIGURE 26.

THE LINEAR REGULATOR CONTROLS ONE STAGE OF CHARGE PUMP 13 Figure 28 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. When the input voltage (VDD) exceeds 2.5V, VREF and VLOGIC turn on. At the same time, if EN is tied to VDD, 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 FN7523.2 September 21, 2005 EL7585A there is a fault condition on CDLY or VREF. If a fault is detected, the outputs and the input protection will turn off, but VREF will stay on. If no fault is found, CCDLY continues ramping up and down. 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. 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. 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. 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 EL7585A, VBOOST 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, DELB gate 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 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. 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. 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. 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 EL7585A 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. Typical fault thresholds for FBP, FBL, FBN and FBB are included in the tables. PG and DELB fault thresholds are typically 0.6V. 14 FN7523.2 September 21, 2005 CHIP DISABLED FAULT DETECTED VON SOFT-START DELB ON VOFF ON AVDD SOFT-START PG ON VREF, VLOGIC ON EL7585A VCDLY VIN EN VREF VBOOST tON tOS VLOGIC VOFF tDEL1 DELAYED VBOOST tDEL2 START-UP SEQUENCE TIMED BY CDLY FAULT PRESENT tDEL3 NORMAL OPERATION VON FIGURE 28.

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. 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. 5. The power ground (PGND) and signal ground (SGND) pins should be connected at only one point near the main decoupling capacitors. Demo Board Layout FIGURE 29. TOP LAYER 16 FIGURE 30.
