Typically the linear regulators are powered from diode charge-pumps driven from the switch node (SW).

All Rights Reserved. 5 MP1531 – LOW POWER, TRIPLE OUTPUT STEP-UP PLUS CHARGE PUMP FOR TFT BIAS Step-Up Converter The 250KHz fixed-frequency step-up converter employs a current-mode control architecture that maximizes loop bandwidth to provide fasttransient responses needed for TFT LCD drivers. High switching frequency allows for smaller inductors and capacitors minimizing board space and thickness. Linear Regulators The positive linear regulator (GH) uses a P-Channel pass element to drop the input voltage down to the regulated output voltage. The feedback of the positive linear regulator is a conventional error amplifier with the regulation threshold at 1.25V. The negative linear regulator (GL) uses a N-Channel pass element to raise the negative input voltage up to the regulated output voltage. The feedback threshold for the negative linear regulator is ground. The resistor string goes from REF (1.25V) to FB2 and from FB2 to GL to set the negative output voltage, VGL. The difference between the voltage at IN3 and the voltage at IN2 is limited to 60V abs. max. Fault Sensing and Timer Each of the 3 outputs has an internal comparator that monitors its respective output voltage by measuring the voltage at its respective FB input. When any FB input indicates that the output voltage is below approximately 80% of the correct regulation voltage, the fault timer enables and the RDY pin goes high impedance. The fault timer uses the same CT capacitor as the soft-start sequencer. If any fault persists to the end of the fault timer (One CT cycle is 6ms for a 10nF capacitor), all outputs are disabled. Once the outputs are shut down due to the fault timer, the MP1531 must be re-enabled by either cycling EN or by cycling the input power. When reenabled, the MP1531 cycles through the normal power-on sequence. If the fault persists for less than the fault timer period, RDY will be pulled low and the part will function as though no fault has occurred. MP1531 Rev. 1.2 5/22/2006 Power-On Sequencing and Soft-Start The MP1531 automatically sequences its outputs at startup. When EN goes from low to high, or if EN is held high and the input voltage VIN rises above the under-voltage lockout threshold, the outputs turn on in the following sequence: 1. Step-up converter 2. Negative linear regulator (GL) 3. Positive linear regulator (GH) Each output turns on with a soft-start voltage ramp. The soft-start ramp period is set by the timing capacitor connected between CT and GND. A 10nF capacitor at CT sets the soft-start ramp period to 6ms. The timing diagram is shown in Figure 2. After the MP1531 is enabled, the power-on reset spans three periods of the CT ramp. First the step-up converter is powered up with reference to the CT ramp and allowed one period of the CT ramp to settle. Next the negative linear regulator (GL) is soft-started by ramping REF, which coincides with the CT ramp, and also allowed one CT ramp period to settle. The positive linear regulator (GH) is then soft-started and allowed to settle in one period of CT ramp. Nine periods of the CT ramp have occurred since the chip enabled. If all outputs are in regulation (>80%), the CT will stop ramping and be held at ground. The RDY pin will be pulled down to an active low. If any FB voltage remains below regulation (<80%) after the nine CT periods, RDY will remain high and CT will begin its fault timer pulse. www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

All Rights Reserved. 7 MP1531 – LOW POWER, TRIPLE OUTPUT STEP-UP PLUS CHARGE PUMP FOR TFT BIAS Selecting the Inductor The inductor is required to force the higher output voltage while being driven by the input voltage. A larger value inductor results in less ripple current that results in lower peak inductor current. However, the larger value inductor has a larger physical size, higher series resistance, lower saturation current for a given package size. L1 = VIN (VMAIN − VIN ) VMAIN × f SW × ∆I Where VIN is the input voltage, fSW is the switching frequency, and ∆I is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. Selecting the Input Capacitor An input capacitor is required to supply the AC ripple current to the inductor, while limiting noise at the input source. A low ESR capacitor is required to keep the noise at the IC to a minimum. Since it absorbs the input switching current it requires an adequate ripple current rating. Use a capacitor with RMS current rating greater than the inductor ripple current (see Selecting The Inductor to determine the inductor ripple current). The input capacitor in Figure 3 is necessary in most lab setups, but can be reduced in typical application circuits if the source impedance is lower. Choose an inductor that does not saturate at heavy load transients and start-up conditions. A good rule for determining the inductance is to allow the peak-to-peak ripple current to be approximately 30-50% of the maximum input current. Make sure that the peak inductor current is below the device current limit to prevent loss of regulation. Calculate the required inductance value by the equation: VIN 2.7V to 4.2V C4 10nF CT EN OFF ON RDY RDY SW IN SW D1 B0530W VMAIN 5V FB1 COMP C3 10nF D2 BAS40-04-7 IN2 D7 BAS40-04-7 D6 BAS40-04-7 MP1531 D5 BAS40-04-7 VGL -10V GL FB2 IN3 D4 BAS40-04-7 D3 BAS40-04-7 GH C9 56pF REF GND VGH 15V FB3 PGND C7 56pF Figure 3—Triple Output Boost Application Circuit MP1531 Rev. 1.2 5/22/2006 www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

All Rights Reserved. 8 MP1531 – LOW POWER, TRIPLE OUTPUT STEP-UP PLUS CHARGE PUMP FOR TFT BIAS To insure stable operation place the input capacitor as close to the IC as possible. Alternately a smaller high quality 0.1µF ceramic capacitor may be placed closer to the IC if the larger capacitor is placed further away. Selecting the Rectifier Diodes Schottky diodes are recommended for most applications because of their fast recovery time and low forward voltage. Use Schottky diodes with a current rating equal to or greater than 4 times the average output current, and a voltage rating at least 1.5 times VGH for the positive charge-pump and VGL for the negative chargepump. 100mA Schottky diodes such as Central Semiconductor CMPSH-3 are recommended for low current charge-pump circuits. Selecting the Output Capacitor of the StepUp Converter The output capacitor is required to maintain the DC output voltage. Low ESR capacitors are preferred to keep the output voltage ripple to a minimum. The characteristics of the output capacitor also affect the stability of the regulation control system. A 10-22µF ceramic capacitor works well in most applications. In the case of ceramic capacitors, the impedance of the capacitor at the switching frequency is dominated by the capacitance, and so the output voltage ripple is mostly independent of the ESR. The output voltage ripple is estimated to be: VRIPPLE ≅ ( VMAIN − VIN ) × ILOAD VMAIN × C2 × f SW Where VRIPPLE is the output ripple voltage, ILOAD is the load current, and C2 is the capacitance of the output capacitor of the step-up converter. Selecting the Number of Charge-Pump Stages For highest efficiency, always choose the lowest number of charge-pump stages that meets the output requirement. The number of positive charge-pump stages NPOS is approximately given by: NPOS ≅ (VGH + VDROPOUT VMAIN − VMAIN ) − 2 × VD dropout margin for the linear regulator. The positive charge-pump can also be configured based on VIN for better efficiency. Then the equation will be: NPOS ≅ (VGH + VDROPOUT − VIN ) VMAIN − 2 × VD The number of negative charge-pump stages NNEG is approximately given by: NNEG ≅ − VGL + VDROPOUT VMAIN − 2 × VD Use VDROPOUT = 0.5V for positive charge-pump and VDROPOUT = 0.15V for negative charge-pump. Selecting the Flying Capacitor in ChargePump Stages Increasing the flying capacitor CX values increases the output current capability. A 0.33µF ceramic capacitor works well in most low current applications. The flying capacitor’s voltage rating must exceed the following: VCX > N × VMAIN Where N is the stage number in which the flying capacitor appears. Step-Up Converter Compensation The MP1531 uses current-mode control which unlike voltage mode has only a single pole roll off due to the output filter. The DC gain (AVDC) is equated from the product of current control to output gain (AVCSCONTROL), error amplifier gain (AVEA), and the feedback divider. Av DC = A CSCONTROL × Av EA × A FB1 A CSCONTROL = 4 × A FB1 = Av DC = VIN ILOAD VFB1 VMAIN 1600 × VIN × VFB1 ILOAD × VMAIN The output filter pole is given in hertz by: fFILTERPOLE = ILOAD π × VMAIN × C2 Where VD is the forward voltage drop of the charge-pump diode, and VDROPOUT is the MP1531 Rev. 1.2 5/22/2006 www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.

All Rights Reserved. 9 MP1531 – LOW POWER, TRIPLE OUTPUT STEP-UP PLUS CHARGE PUMP FOR TFT BIAS The output filter zero is given in hertz by: fFILTERZERO = 1 2 × π × R ESR × C2 Where RESR is the equivalent series resistance of the output capacitor. With all boost regulators the right half plane zero (RHPZ) is given in hertz by: 2 fRHPZ ⎛ V ⎞ VMAIN = ⎜⎜ IN ⎟⎟ × 2 × π × ILOAD × L1 ⎝ VMAIN ⎠ Error Amplifier Compensation To stabilize the feedback loop dynamics the error amplifier compensation is as follows: fPOLE1 ≈ f ZERO1 1 2 × π × 10 6 × C3 1 = 2π × R3 × C3 Where R3 and C3 are part of the compensation network in Figure 3. A good start is 5.6kΩ and 10nF. This combination gives about 70° of phase margin and bandwidth of about 35KHz for most load conditions. Increasing R3 and/or reducing C3 increases the loop bandwidth and improves the load transient. Linear Regulator Compensation The positive or negative regulated voltages of two linear regulators are controlled by a transconductance amplifier and a P-channel or N-Channel pass transistor respectively. The DC gain of either LDO is approximately 100dB with a slight dependency on load current. The output capacitor (CLDO) and resistance load (RLOAD) make-up the dominant pole. fLDOPOLE1 = 1 2 × π × R LOAD × C LDO The pass transistor’s internal pole is about 10Hz to 30Hz. To compensate for the two pole system and add more phase and gain margin, a lead-lag resistor capacitor network is necessary. MP1531 Rev. 1.2 5/22/2006 For the positive linear regulator: fPOSPOLE1 = 1 2 × π × (R10 + R9 || R8 ) × C7 1 2 × π × (R10 + R9 ) × C7 fPOSZERO1 = For the negative linear regulator: fNEGPOLE1 = 1 2 × π × (R6 + R7 || R5 ) × C9 fNEGZERO1 = 1 2 × π × (R6 + R7 ) × C9 fPOSPOLE1 and fNEGPOLE1 are necessary to cancel out the zero created by the equivalent series resistance (RLDOESR) of the output capacitor. fLDOZERO = 1 2 × π × R LDOESR × C LDO For component values shown in Figure 3 a 10Ω and 56pF RC network gives about 45° of phase margin and a bandwidth of about 35KHz on both regulators. Layout Considerations Careful PC board layout is important to minimize ground bounce and noise. First, place the main boost converter inductor, output diode and output capacitor as close to the SW and PGND pins as possible with wide traces. Then place ceramic bypass capacitors near IN, IN2 and IN3 pins to the PGND pin. Keep the charge-pump circuitry close to the IC with wide traces. Locate all FB resistive dividers as close to their respective FB pins as possible. Separate GND and PGND areas and connect them at one point as close to the IC as possible. Avoid having sensitive traces near the SW node and high current lines. Refer to the MP1531 demo board for an example of proper board layout. www.MonolithicPower.com MPS Proprietary Information.
