Features
The ISL97642 integrates a high performance boost regulator
with 2 LDO controllers for VON and VOFF, a VON-slice circuit
with adjustable delay and three amplifiers for VCOM and
VGAMMA applications.
The boost converter in the ISL97642 is a current mode PWM
type integrating an 18V N-Channel MOSFET.
Using external low-cost transistors, the LDO controllers
provide tight regulation for VON, VOFF, as well as providing
start-up sequence control and fault protection.
The amplifiers are ideal for VCOM and VGAMMA
applications, with 150mA peak output current drive, 12MHz
bandwidth, and 12V/μs slew rate. All inputs and outputs are
rail-to-rail.
Available in the 32 Ld thin QFN (5mmx5mm) Pb-free package,
the ISL97642 is specified for operation over the -40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

Applications Information
The ISL97642 provides a highly integrated multiple output
power solution for TFT-LCD applications. The system
consists of one high efficiency boost converter and two low
cost linear-regulator controllers (VON and VOFF) with
multiple protection functions. The block diagram of the whole
part is shown in Figure 16. Table 1 lists the recommended
components.
The ISL97642 integrates an N-Channel MOSFET in boost
converter to minimize the external component counts and
cost. The VON, VOFF linear-regulators are independently
regulated by using external resistors. To achieve higher
voltage than VBOOST, one or multiple stage charge pumps
may be used.

Boost Converter
The main boost converter is a current mode PWM converter
operating at a fixed frequency. The 1.2MHz switching
frequency enables the use of low profile inductor and
multilayer ceramic capacitors, which results in a compact,
low cost power system for LCD panel design.
The boost converter can operate in continuous or
discontinuous inductor current mode. The ISL97642 is
designed for continuous current mode, but it 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 Equation 1:
V BOOST
1
------------------------ = ------------1–D
V IN
(EQ. 1)
Figure 17 shows the block diagram of the boost controller.
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 using
Equation 2:
R1 + R2
V BOOST = --------------------- × V REF
R1
(EQ. 2)
Where D is the duty cycle of switching MOSFET.

Input Capacitor
The input capacitor is used to supply the 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
the maximum input voltage.
Boost Inductor
The boost inductor is a critical part which influences the
output voltage ripple, transient response, and efficiency.
Value of 3.3μH to 10μH inductor is recommended in
applications to fit the internal slope compensation. The
inductor must be able to handle the following average and
peak current:
ΔI L
I LPK = I LAVG + -------2
IO
I LAVG = ------------1–D
(EQ. 5)
Rectifier Diode
A high-speed diode is desired 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.
IO

V RIPPLE = I LPK × ESR + ------------------------ × ---------------- × ----C OUT f S

NOTE: Capacitors have a voltage coefficient that makes their
effective capacitance drop as the voltage across them increases.
COUT in the Equation 6 assumes the effective value of the capacitor
at a particular voltage and not the manufacturer’s stated value,
measured at zero volts.
Compensation
The ISL97642 incorporates a transconductance amplifier in
its feedback path to allow the user some adjustment on the
transient response and better regulation. The ISL97642
uses current mode control architecture, which has a fast
current sense loop and a slow voltage feedback loop. The
fast current feedback loop does not require any
compensation. The slow voltage loop must be compensated
for stable operation. The compensation network is a series
RC network from COMP pin to ground. The resistor sets the
high frequency integrator gain for fast transient response
and the capacitor sets the integrator zero to ensure loop
stability. For most applications, a 2.2nF capacitor and a
180Ω resistor are inserted in series between COMP pin and
ground. To improve the transient response, either the
resistor value can be increased or the capacitor value can be
reduced, but too high resistor value or too low capacitor
value will reduce loop stability.
Boost Feedback Resistors
As the boost output voltage, VBOOST, 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 VBOOST 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.
R 7 = 1 ⁄ 0.1 × R 2 – ( 1 ⁄ R 1 )^-1
(EQ. 7)
C 7 = 1 ⁄ 2 × 3.142 × fp × R 7
(EQ. 8)
Linear-Regulator Controllers (VON and VOFF)
The ISL97642 includes 2 independent linear-regulator
controllers, in which there is one positive output voltage
(VON) and one negative voltage (VOFF). The VON and VOFF
linear-regulator controller function diagram, application
circuit and waveforms are shown in Figures 18 and 19
respectively.
(EQ. 6)
For low ESR ceramic capacitors, the output ripple is
dominated by the charging and discharging of the output
capacitor. The voltage rating of the output capacitor should
be greater than the maximum output voltage.

The VOFF power supply is used to power the negative

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

(>10MHz) transconductance amplifier capable of 5mA
output current, which is sufficient for up to 50mA or more
output current under the low dropout condition (forced beta
of 10). Typical VOFF voltage supported by ISL97642 ranges
from -5V to -25V. A fault comparator is also included for
monitoring the output voltage. The undervoltage threshold is
set at 200mV above the 0.2V reference level.

FIGURE 21. THE LINEAR REGULATOR CONTROLS ONE STAGE OF CHARGE PUMP
Calculation of the Linear Regulator Base-emitter
Resistors (RBP and RBN)
For the pass transistor of the linear regulator, low frequency
gain (Hfe) and unity gain frequency (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 increases 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 VON linear regulator. If a
Fairchild MMBT3906 PNP transistor is used as the external
pass transistor (Q11 in the application diagram), then for a
maximum VON operating requirement of 50mA, the data
sheet indicates Hfe_min = 60. The base-emitter saturation
voltage is: Vbe_max = 0.7V.
For the ISL97642, the minimum drive current is:
I_DRVP_min = 2mA
The minimum base-emitter resistor, RBP, can now be
calculated as:
RBP_min = VBE_max ⁄ (I_DRVP_min - Ic/Hfe_min =
( ( 0.7V ) ⁄ ( 2mA – ( 50mA ) ⁄ 60 ) ) = 600Ω
(EQ. 11)
This is the minimum value that can be used – so, we now
choose a convenient value greater than this minimum value;
for example, 700Ω. Larger values may be used to reduce
quiescent current, however, regulation may be adversely
affected by supply noise if RBP is made too high in value.
14
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
(EQ. 12)
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 selected. 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
(EQ. 13)
To achieve high efficiency and low material cost, the lowest
number of charge-pump stages, which can meet the above
requirements, is always preferred.
Charge Pump Output Capacitors
Ceramic capacitor with low ESR is recommended. With
ceramic capacitors, the output ripple voltage is dominated by
the capacitance value. The capacitance value can be
chosen by Equation 14:
I OUT
C OUT ≥ -----------------------------------------------------2 × V RIPPLE × f OSC
(EQ. 14)
where fOSC is the switching frequency.
Discontinuous/Continuous Boost Operation and
its Effect on the Charge Pumps
The ISL97642 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
FN6436.0

ISL97642
edges be interrupted (for example during discontinuous
operation at light 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 VBOOST current loading,
to be in continuous operation.
Equation 15 gives the boundary between discontinuous and
continuous boost operation. For continuous operation (LX
switching every clock cycle) we require that:
I ( v BOOST_load > D • 1 – D • V IN ⁄ 2 • L • f OSC )
(EQ. 15)
where the duty cycle, D = (VBOOST – VIN)/VBOOST
For example, with VIN = 5V, fOSC = 1.2MHz and VBOOST =
12V, we find continuous operation of the boost converter can
be guaranteed for:
L = 10µH and I(VBOOST) > 51mA
L = 6.8µH and I(VBOOST) > 74mA
L = 3.3µH and I(VBOOST) > 153mA
15
Start-up Sequence
Figure 22 shows a detailed start-up sequence waveform. For
a successful power-up, there should be 6 peaks at VCDEL.
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 2.4V, an internal
current source starts to charge CCDEL. During the initial slow
ramp, the device checks whether there is a fault condition. If
no fault is found during the initial ramp, CCDEL is discharged
after the first peak. VREF turns on at the peak of the first
ramp.
Initially, the boost is not enabled so VBOOST rises to VINVDIODE through the output diode. Hence, there is a step at
VBOOST during this part of the start-up sequence.
VBOOST soft-starts at the beginning of the third ramp, and is
checked at the end of this ramp. The soft-start ramp
depends on the value of the CDEL capacitor. For CDEL of
100nF, the soft-start time is ~7ms.
VOFF turns on at the start of the fourth peak.
VON is enabled at the beginning of the sixth ramp. VOFF and
VON are checked at end of this ramp.

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 100nF and has a usable range
from 22nF 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 Figure 22). Note that
16
with 100nF on CDEL, the fault time-out will be typically 23ms
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 ISL97642 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

directed to the layout guidelines and component selection
sections to avoid problems during initial evaluation and
prototype PCB generation.
VON -Slice Circuit
series with the output. However, this will obviously reduce
the gain. Another method of reducing peaking is to add a
“snubber” circuit at the output. A snubber is a shunt load
consisting of a resistor in series with a capacitor. Values of
150Ω and 10nF are typical. The advantage of a snubber is
that it does not draw any DC load current and reduce the
gain.
The VON-slice Circuit functions as a three way multiplexer,
switching the voltage on COM between ground, DRN and
SRC, under control of the start-up sequence and the CTL pin.
Over-Temperature Protection
Once the start-up sequence has completed, CTL is enabled
and acts as a multiplexer control such that if CTL is low,
COM connects to DRN through a 5Ω internal MOSFET, and
if CTL is high, COM connects to SRC via a 30Ω MOSFET.
An internal temperature sensor continuously monitors the
die temperature. In the event that the die temperature
exceeds the thermal trip point, the device will be latched off
until either the input supply voltage or enable is cycled.
The slew rate of start-up of the switch control circuit is mainly
restricted by the load capacitance at COM pin, as in
Equation 16:
Layout Recommendation
Vg
ΔV
-------- = ----------------------------------( R i || R L ) • C L
Δt
(EQ. 16)
Where Vg is the supply voltage applied to the switch control
circuit, Ri is the resistance between COM and DRN or SRC
including the internal MOSFET rDS(ON), the trace resistance
and the resistor inserted; RL is the load resistance of the
switch control circuit, and CL is the load capacitance of the
switch control circuit.
In the “Typical Application Circuit” on page 18, R8, R9 and
C8 give the bias to DRN based on Equation 17:
V ON • R 9 + A VDD • R 8
V DRN = ------------------------------------------------------------R8 + R9
(EQ. 17)
and R10 can be adjusted to adjust the slew rate.
Op Amps
The ISL97642 has 3 amplifiers respectively. The op amps
are typically used to drive the TFT-LCD backplane (VCOM)
or the gamma-correction divider string. They feature rail-torail input and output capability. They are unity gain stable,
and have low power consumption (typical 600μA per
amplifier). The ISL97642 has a -3dB bandwidth of 12MHz
while maintaining a 10V/μs slew rate.
Short Circuit Current Limit
The ISL97642 will limit the short circuit current to ±180mA if
the output is directly shorted to the positive or the negative
supply. If an output is shorted for a long time, the junction
temperature will trigger the Over-Temperature Protection
limit and, hence, the part will shut down.
Driving Capacitive Loads
ISL97642 can drive a wide range of capacitive loads. As
load capacitance increases, however, the -3dB bandwidth of
the device will decrease and the peaking will increase. The
amplifiers drive 10pF loads in parallel with 10kΩ with just
1.5dB of peaking, and 100pF with 6.4dB of peaking. If less
peaking is desired in these applications, a small series
resistor (usually between 5Ω and 50Ω) can be placed in
17
The devices 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. Reduce the loop with large AC amplitudes and fast slew
rate.
4. The feedback network 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.
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.
