The LT1942 contains four switching regulators. Three switchers are designed to be used as the power supply for driving small to medium sized TFT displays. The fourth switcher is designed to power an LED backlight. All four switching regulators use a constant frequency, current mode control scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation. TFT Supply The three switching regulators for the TFT supply are named AVDD, VOFF and VON. Both the AVDD and VON switchers are boost type, while the VOFF is an inverting type. Power sequencing circuitry is integrated into the LT1942 to properly power up the TFT power supply. When the SHDN pin is driven above 1V initially, only the AVDD switcher is enabled. After the output of the AVDD switcher reaches 97% of its final value, the PGOOD pin is driven low and both the VOFF and VON switchers are enabled. This event is latched rejecting any later drops on AVDD below 97%. The output-disconnect circuitry (Q5 in the Block Diagram) for the VON switcher is not activated until the programmable delay set by the CT pin has elapsed. Once the output-disconnect circuitry is enabled, the VOUT3 pin is driven to nearly the same voltage as D3. The VOUT3 pin can only source current and is limited to 15mA nominally. All three switching regulators are internally compensated and operated at a fixed frequency of 1MHz. The AVDD switching regulator has integrated soft-start. Simply place a capacitor from the SS1 pin to GND to implement soft-start. LED Supply The fourth switching regulator in the LT1942 is designed to drive up to 20 LEDs (2 strings of 10) to power a backlight. The LED switcher has an integrated current ballaster (Q6 and Q7 in the Block Diagram) which enables two strings of LEDs to have active current matching. The current into LED1 and LED2 will always be actively matched, regardless of which LED string has the highest voltage drop. The LED ballast circuitry can be left unused when driving a single string of LEDs. Simply leave the LED1 and LED2 inputs floating and return the LED string directly to the FB4 pin. The LED switcher has an independent control pin which serves two functions: shutdown and reference adjustment. The CTRL4 pin needs to be driven above 0.25V to enable the LED switcher. When CTRL4 is between 0.25V and 2.5V, the internal reference for the LED switcher is attenuated. If CTRL4 is above 2.5V, the internal reference is limited to 200mV no matter how high CTRL4 is. This feature allows an 8:1 dimming range for the LEDs. The LED switching regulator is internally compensated and operates at a fixed frequency of 1MHz. The LED switching regulator has LED open-circuit protection. If any LED fails open, D4 is not allowed to exceed 42V (typical). This prevents damage to the power switch. The LED switching regulator also has built in soft-start. By placing a capacitor from the SS4 pin to GND, the user can program the soft-start time. 1942fa 10 LT1942 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Setting the Output Voltages Unlike charge-pump-based TFT supplies, the LT1942 TFT outputs can all be independently set. The AVDD, VOFF and VON outputs are all inductively based DC/DC converters. As such, the output voltages are set by choosing the right feedback divider ratio. The AVDD feedback pin is FB1 and the reference voltage is 1.25V. The VOFF feedback pin is NFB2 and the reference voltage is –150mV. The VON feedback pin is FB3 and the reference voltage is 1.25V. The LED driver is also an inductively based DC/DC converter. Output Disconnect The VON switching regulator has built in output disconnect. When the VON supply is enabled, the boost converter will charge up the D3 node. With the output disconnect PNP (Q5) turned off, the voltage on VOUT3 will be zero. Once the power sequencing circuitry turns on the PNP, VOUT3 will go to nearly the same voltage as D3. The VOFF switching regulator naturally achieves output disconnect due to the switching topology (inverting configuration). When the LT1942 is in shutdown, VOFF will go to zero volts. The AVDD switching regulator provides a PGOOD pin to be used for an external output disconnect function. This pin can drive the gate of a PMOS device. When the LT1942 is first enabled, the AVDD switching regulator begins to charge up the output capacitor. Since PGOOD is still an open collector at this point, the PMOS device is turned off, leaving the AVDD output at zero volts. Once the output capacitor charges to 97% of the final value, PGOOD latches low turning on the PMOS device and bringing the AVDD output quickly to the desired voltage. Soft-Start The higher current regulators, AVDD and LED, have user programmable soft-start functions built into the part. Simply place a capacitor from the SS1 pin to GND to achieve soft-start for the AVDD switcher. For the LED switcher, place a capacitor from the SS4 pin to GND. A good value for both soft-start capacitors is 0.1µF. The soft-start time is dependent on the load characteristics which will vary depending on the type and size of the TFT display. It is a good practice to experiment to determine the best value for the soft-start capacitors. Power Sequencing The TFT supply has integrated supply sequencing built-in to ensure proper initiation of the TFT display. Figure 1 shows a state diagram of the power sequencing circuitry. The power sequencing circuitry insures that the AVDD supply comes up first, then the negative VOFF supply and lastly the VON positive supply. To pick the CT capacitor for a particular delay, use the following equation: CT = 10µA • tDELAY 0.7V Figure 2 shows the power sequencing during start-up of the TFT power supply for the circuit shown in the figure on the first page of this data sheet. All bias supplies start up in a well controlled and well timed manner. The LED backlight driver is independently controlled via the CTRL4 pin. 1942fa 11 LT1942 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO SHUTDOWN IQ < 1µA START VSHDN > 1V AVDD ENABLED VOFF DISABLED VON DISABLED FB1 > (97% OF 1.25V) VSHDN < 0.4V VOFF ENABLED VON ENABLED PGOOD GOES LOW CT TIMER STARTS VCT ≥ VBE TFT SUPPLY SEQUENCE COMPLETE OUTPUT DISCONNECT PNP TURNS ON 1942 F01 Figure 1.

Power Sequencing During TFT Supply Start-Up (Refer to Figure 4 Node Names) 1942fa 12 LT1942 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Layout Hints Proper layout techniques must be followed to achieve advertised performance of the part. Keep all SW and FB traces short and small. There are several power ground pins on the LT1942 and it is important to implement the grounding properly. PGND14 is the power ground pin for the AVDD and LED switchers. The output capacitor for both the AVDD and LED switcher must be returned back to this pin before being allowed to mix into the ground plane. Similarly, PGND23 is the power ground pin for the VON and VOFF switcher. Again, both output capacitors for the VON and VOFF switchers need to return to the PGND23 pin before mixing with the ground plane. Place the input decoupling capacitor, which ties from the VCC pin to GND, as close to the part as possible. Please refer to Figure 3 for a recommended layout of the power path components. The component names are those shown in the circuit of Figure 4.
