FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
The LT®1942 is a highly integrated quad switching regulator designed to provide all necessary power supply
functions for TFT displays, including the white LED
backlight driver. The TFT supply incorporates two boost
and one inverting DC/DC converters. The TFT supply
output voltages are independently set, unlike charge
pump solutions which have many limitations. Power
sequencing for the TFT supply is built into the part and is
user programmable.

The LED driver is a boost DC/DC converter that can be
independently controlled. The LED driver has built-in
dimming control for precise control of LED current. An 8:1
dimming range is achieved by adjusting the CTRL4
voltage.The user can elect to drive a single string or two
strings of LEDs. An LED ballast circuit is included to
precisely match the LED currents if two strings of LEDs are
used. Soft-start is built into the LED driver as well as the
primary TFT supply.

PGND23 (Pin 1): Power Ground for VOFF and VON Switcher.
Tie directly to local ground plane.
AGND (Pin 10): Analog Ground. Tie directly to local
ground plane.
SW3 (Pin 2): Switch Pin for VON Switcher. This is the
collector of an internal NPN power switch. Minimize the
metal trace area connected to this pin to minimize EMI.
SS1 (Pin 11): Soft-Start Pin for AVDD Switcher. Place a
soft-start capacitor from this pin to ground. Upon start-up,
3µA of current charges the capacitor to 1.25V. Use larger
capacitor for slower start-up. Leave floating if not in use.
D3 (Pin 3): Output of VON Switcher. Place output decoupling capacitor from this pin to local ground plane.
VOUT3 (Pin 4): Collector of Internal Output Disconnect
PNP Transistor for the VON Switcher. Place a capacitor
from this pin to local ground plane of at least 0.1µF.
SS4 (Pin 12): Soft-Start for LED Switcher. Place a softstart capacitor from this pin to ground. Upon start-up, 3µA
of current charges the capacitor to 1.25V. Use larger
capacitor for slower start-up. Leave floating if not in use.
FB3 (Pin 5): Feedback Pin for VON Switcher. Reference
voltage is 1.25V. Connect resistive divider tap here.
Minimize trace area at FB3. Set VOUT3 according to VOUT3
= 1.25(1 + R5/R6).
PGOOD (Pin 13): Power Good Indication for AVDD Switcher.
Open-collector NPN. Stays open until the VFB1 voltage
reaches 97% of target value at which point the pin will pull
down.
NFB2 (Pin 6): Feedback Pin for VOFF Switcher. Reference
voltage is –150mV. Connect resistive divider tap here.
Minimize trace area at NFB2. Set VOUT2 according to
VOUT2 = (– 0.15)(1 + R3/R4).
SHDN (Pin 7): Shutdown. Tie to 1V or greater to enable the
part. Tie to 0.4V or lower to disable. This pin is the global
shutdown pin for all four switching regulators.
FB1 (Pin 14): Feedback Pin for AVDD Switcher. Connect
resistive divider tap here. Minimize trace area at FB1. Set
VOUT1 according to VOUT1 = 1.25(1 + R1/R2).
FB4 (Pin 15): Feedback Pin for LED Switcher. Place a
resistor from this node to ground. Choose R7 to set LED
current (ILED) according to the following formula:
if VCTRL4 ≥ 2.5V, R7 = 0.2/ILED
CTRL4 (Pin 8): Shutdown for the LED Switcher. Tie to
0.25V or greater to enable the LED switcher. Tie to 0.1V or
lower to disable. CTRL4 can also override the default 200mV
reference for the LED switcher. If CTRL4 is tied to 2.5V or
greater, the reference voltage is 200mV. If CTRL4 is less
than 2.5V, the LED reference voltage is approximately
VCTRL4/10. This allows an 8:1 dimming range for the LEDs.
Refer to the Applications Section for more information.
In this case, ILED is the total LED current. If two strings of
LEDs are used, ILED is the sum of the current in the two
strings. If only a single string of LEDs is used, ILED is
simply the single string current. For dimming LED current,
drive VCTRL4 to a lower voltage. See the Applications
Section for more information.
CT (Pin 9): Programmable Delay for the TFT Supplies.
Place a capacitor from this pin to local ground plane. After
the delay, the output disconnect PNP for the VON supply is
turned on. The delay time is initiated when AVDD reaches
97% of its final value.
LED2 (Pin 17): Second Input of Current Mirror for an LED
String. Connect the negative end of second string of LEDs
to this pin. If not in use, leave floating.
D4 (Pin 16): Output of LED Switcher. Place output decoupling capacitor from this pin to local ground plane.

OPERATIO
Refer to the figure on the first page of this data sheet and
the Block Diagram when following the description of the
operation of the LT1942. 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.

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.

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.
