4-Channel DC/DC Converter
Features
The EL7584 is a 4-channel DC/DC converter IC which is
designed primarily for use in TFT-LCD applications. The
boost converter has 2V to 14V input capability and provides
5V to 17V output, which powers the column drivers and
provides up to 370mA @ 15V. A pair of charge pump control
circuits provide outputs to allow the external generation of
VON and VOFF supplies at 5V to 40V and 0V to -40V,
respectively, each at up to 60mA for VBOOST = 15V. The
VCOM buffer provides up to 50mA continuous output current
from 2V to 13V.
• TFT-LCD display supply
- Boost regulator
- VCOM buffer
- VON charge pump
- VOFF charge pump
The EL7584 features adjustable switching frequency and onchip power sequence to simplify start-up operation. A
separate input is available to externally increase the default
delay of the positive charge pump. An over-temperature
feature is provided to allow the IC to be automatically
protected from excessive power dissipation.
The EL7584 is available in a 24-pin TSSOP package and is
specified for operation over the full -40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

Applications Information
Steady-State Operation
The EL7584 is high efficiency multiple output power solution
designed specifically for thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid
crystal display (LCD) applications. The device contains one
high current boost converter and two low power charge
pumps (VON and VOFF).
When the output reaches the preset voltage, the regulator
operates at steady state. Depending on the input/output
condition and component, the inductor operates at either
continuous-conduction mode or discontinuous-conduction
mode.
The boost converter contains an integrated N-channel
MOSFET to minimize the number of external components.
The converter output voltage can be set from 5V to 18V with
external resistors. The VON and VOFF charge pumps are
independently regulated to positive and negative voltages
using external resistors. Output voltages as high as 40V can
be achieved with additional capacitors and diodes.
In the continuous-conduction mode, the inductor current is a
triangular waveform and LX voltage a pulse waveform. In the
discontinuous-conduction mode, the inductor current is
completely ‘dried-out’ before the MOSFET is turned on
again. The input voltage source, the inductor, and the
MOSFET and output diode parasitic capacitors forms a
resonant circuit. Oscillation will occur in this period. This
oscillation is normal and will not affect the regulation.
Boost Converter
The boost converter operates in constant frequency pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) mode. Quiescent current for the
EL7584 is only 5mA when enabled, and since only the low
side MOSFET is used, switch drive current is minimized.
90% efficiency is achieved in most common application
operating conditions.
A functional block diagram with typical circuit configuration is
shown on previous page. Regulation is performed by the
PWM comparator which regulates the output voltage by
comparing a divided output voltage with an internal
reference voltage. The PWM comparator outputs its result to
the PWM logic. The PWM logic switches the MOSFET on
and off through the gate drive circuit. Its switching frequency
is external adjustable with a resistor from timing control pin
(ROSC) to ground. The boost converter has 200kHz to
1.2MHz operating frequency range.
At very low load, the MOSFET will skip pulse sometimes.
This is normal.
Current Limit
The MOSFET is current limited to <1.75Amps (nominal).
This restricts the maximum output current IOMAX based on
the following formula:
V IN
I OMAX =  I LMT – ∆L
------- × --------

VO
2
where:
• ∆IL is the inductor peak-to-peak current ripple and is
decided by:
V IN D
∆I L = --------- × ------L
FS
Start-Up
• D is the MOSFET turn-on radio and is decided by:
After VDDB reaches a threshold of about 2V, the power
MOSFET is controlled by the start-up oscillator, which
generates fixed duty-ratio of 0.5 - 0.7 at a frequency of
several hundred kilohertz. This will boost the output voltage,
providing the initial output current load is not too great
(<250mA).
V O - V IN
D = ----------------------VO
• FS is the switching frequency.
When VDDB reaches about 3.7V, the PWM comparator
takes over the control. The duty ratio will be decided by the
multiple-input direct summing comparator, Max_Duty signal
(about 90% duty-ratio), and the Current Limit Comparator,
whichever is the smallest.
The soft-start is provided by the current limit comparator. As
the internal 12µA current source charges the external softstart capacitor, the peak MOSFET current is limited by the
voltage on the capacitor. This in turn controls the rising rate
of output voltage.
The regulator goes through the start-up sequence as well

Component Considerations
Input Capacitor
It is recommended that CIN is larger than 10µF.
Theoretically, the input capacitor has ripple current of ∆IL.
Due to high-frequency noise in the circuit, the input current
ripple may exceed the theoretical value. Larger capacitor will
reduce the ripple further.
Boost Inductor
The inductor has peak and average current decided by:
∆I
I LPK = I LAVG + --------L
2
Schottky Diode
Speed, forward voltage drop, and reverse current are the
three most critical specifications for selecting the Schottky
diode. The entire output current flows through the diode, so
the diode average current is the same as the average load
current and the peak current is the same as the inductor
peak current. When selecting the diode, one must consider
the forward voltage drop at the peak diode current. On the
Elantec demo board, MBRM120 is selected. Its forward
voltage drop is 450mV at 1A forward current.
Output Capacitor
The EL7584 is specially compensated to be stable with
capacitors which have a worst-case minimum value of 10µF
at the particular VOUT being set. Output ripple voltage
requirements also determine the minimum value and the
type of capacitors. Output ripple voltage consists of two
components - the voltage drop caused by the switching
current though the ESR of the output capacitor and the
charging and discharging of the output capacitor:
I OUT
V OUT - V IN
V RIPPLE = I LPK × ESR + ------------------------------- × -----------------------------C
× FS
V
OUT
OUT
For low ESR ceramic capacitors, the output ripple is
dominated by the charging/discharging of the output
capacitor.
In addition to the voltage rating, the output capacitor should
also be able to handle the RMS current is given by:
IO
I LAVG = ------------1-D
The inductor should be chosen to be able to handle this
current. Furthermore, due to the fixed internal
compensation, it is recommended that maximum inductance
of 10µH and 15µH to be used in the 5V and 12V or higher
output voltage, respectively.
The output diode has average current of IO, and peak current
the same as the inductor's peak current. Schottky diode is
recommended and it should be able to handle those currents.
Feedback Resistor Network
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 200kΩ is
recommended. The boost converter output voltage is
determined by the following relationship:
I CORMS =

Positive and Negative Charge Pump (VON and
VOFF)
The EL7584 contains two independent charge pumps (see
charge pump block and connection diagram.) The negative
charge pump inverts the VDDN supply voltage and provides
a regulated negative output voltage. The positive charge
pump doubles the VDDP supply voltage and provides a
regulated positive output voltage. The regulation of both the
negative and positive charge pumps is generated by the
internal comparator that senses the output voltage and
compares it with and internal reference. The switching
frequency of the charge pump is set to ½ the boost converter
switching frequency.
The pumps use pulse width modulation to adjust the pump
period, depending on the load present. The pumps are shortcircuit protected to 180mA at 12V supply and can provide
15mA to 60mA for 6V to 12V supply.

recommended to drive the additional charge pump diodes.

The VCOM Buffer
The VCOM buffer is designed to control the voltage on the
back plane of an LCD display. This plane is capacitively
coupled to the pixel drive voltage which alternately cycles
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 use of the VCOM Buffer is illustrated in Figure 21. Here,
a voltage, corresponding to the mid-DAC potential, is
generated by a resistive divider and buffered by the
amplifier. The amplifier's stability is designed to be
dominated by the load capacitance, thus for very short
duration pulses (< 1µs) the output capacitor supplies the
current. For longer pulses the VCOM buffer supplies the
current. By virtue of its high transconductance which
progressively increases as more current is drawn, it can
maintain regulation within 5mV as currents up to 50mA are
drawn, while consuming only 1.5mA of quiescent current.
If VBOOST exceeds 15V, VDDC must be protected from overvoltage by including a zener diode between VBOOST and
VDDC.

FIGURE 21. VCOM USED AS A VOLTAGE BUFFER
As with any high performance buffer, there are several
design issues that must be considered when using the part.
These are summarized below.
Good Decoupling of Power Supplies
This is essential for this component and 1µF ceramic low
ESR decoupling capacitors are recommended. These
should be placed close to the pins.
Choice of Output Capacitor
A 1µF ceramic capacitor with low ESR (X5R or X7R type) is
recommended for this amplifier. This capacitor determines
the stability of the amplifier. Reducing it will make the
amplifier less stable, and should be avoided. With a 1µF
capacitor, the unity gain bandwidth of the amplifier is close to
13
FN7317.2
February 4, 2005
EL7584
500kHz when reasonable currents are being drawn. (For
lower load currents, the gain and hence bandwidth
progressively decreases.) This means the active
transconductance is:
2π × 1µF × 500kHz = 3.14S
This high transconductance indicates why it is important to
have a low ESR capacitor.
If:
• ESR * 3.14 > 1
then the capacitor will not force the gain to roll off below
unity, and subsequent poles can affect stability. The
recommended capacitor has an ESR of 10mΩ, but to this
must be added the resistance of the board trace between the
capacitor and the VCOM pin, where the sense connection is
made internally - therefore this should be kept short. Also
ground resistance between the capacitor and the base of R2
must be kept to a minimum. These constraints should be
considered when laying out the PCB.
If the capacitor is increased above 1µF, stability is generally
improved and short pulses of current will cause a smaller
“perturbation” on the VCOM voltage. The speed of response
of the amplifier is however degraded as its bandwidth is
decreased. At capacitor values around 10µF, a subtle
interaction with internal DC gain boost circuitry will decrease
the phase margin and may give rise to some overshoot in
the response. The amplifier will remain stable, though.
Response to High Current Spikes
The VCOM amplifier's output current is limited to 180mA.
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.
Power-Up Sequencing
With the components shown in the application diagram the
on-chip power-up sequencing operates as follows.
When the EN pin is taken to logic 1, the following sequence
is followed by on-chip functions:
and the current capability of these negative charge
pumps (which is rising as VBOOST and hence VDDN
rises.)
2. When VBOOST reaches a voltage such that V(FBB)>
1.13V and VOFF first reaches its required regulation
voltage, the VCOM regulator is enabled and VCOM rises
at a rate determined by the VCOM load capacitor, the load
on VCOM, and the current limit of the VCOM amplifier.
3. When VCOM rises to within 100mV of V(INC), an internal
delay circuit triggers and, for VDDP = 12V, a default delay
of approximately 3.5ms is introduced before the positive
charge pump is then enabled. This delay can be
increased externally by connecting a capacitor between
DP and VSSP. A 1nF capacitor will typically increase the
delay before VON becomes enabled to 80ms.
The enabled states of the on-chip functions become
independent of VBOOST, VOFF, VCOM, and VON once each
is triggered. The chip may be reset by forcing EN to logic 0
and allowing sufficient time for the various supplies to
discharge sufficiently before taking EN to 1 again.
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
130°C and 90°C respectively.
PCB Layout Guidelines
Careful layout is critical in the successful operation of the
application. The following layout guidelines are
recommended to achieve optimum performance.
1. VREF and VDDB bypass capacitors should be placed next
to the pins.
2. Place the boost converter diode and inductor close to the
LX pins.
3. Place the boost converter output capacitor close to the
PGND pins.
4. Locate feedback dividers close to their respected
feedback pins to avoid switching noise coupling into the
high impedance node.
5. Place the charge pump feedback resistor network after
the diode and output capacitor node to avoid switching
noise.
6. All low-side feedback resistors should be connected
directly to VSSB. VSSB should be connected to the power
ground at one point only.
A demo board is available to illustrate the proper layout
implementation.
1. The boost circuit and negative charge pumps are
enabled. VBOOST rises at a rate set by the boost load
capacitor, the external load, and the boost’s current limit
(controlled by the SS pin input.) Similarly, VOFF falls in
voltage determined by the load capacitor, the VOFF load,
