DC/DC Converter for TFT-LCD Panels

OBSOLETE: For Information Purposes Only. Contact Analog Devices for Potential Replacement.

The LT1948 is a highly integrated multiple output DC/DC converter designed for use in TFT-LCD panels. The device contains two independent switching regulators: the main regulator has an adjustable output voltage with an internal 1.1A switch that can generate a boosted voltage as high as 30V while the second regulator generates 23V at up to 10mA for positive bias. A simple level-shift charge pump off the main switch node generates the negative bias voltage. An external capacitor sets the delay time from AVDD reaching final value to 23V appearing at the VON pin. The 3MHz switching frequency allows the use of tiny low profile chip inductors and capacitors throughout, providing a low noise, low cost total solution with all components under 1.25mm in height. The device operates from an input range of 2.6V to 6V and is available in an 8-lead MSOP package.
