Applications Information
The EL7586 and EL7586A provide a high integrated multiple
output power solution for TFT-LCD applications. The system
consists of one high efficiency boost converter and three
linear-regulator controllers (V
ON
, V
OFF
, and V
LOGIC
) with
multiple protection functions. A block diagram is shown in
Figure 25. Table 1 lists the recommended components.
The EL7586, and EL7586A integrate an N-channel
MOSFET boost converter to minimize external component
count and cost. The A

voltages require external charge pumps which
are post regulated using the integrated LDO controllers.
Boost Converter
The main boost converter is a current mode PWM converter
at a fixed frequency of 1MHz which enables the use of low
profile inductors and multiplayer ceramic capacitors. This
results in a compact, low cost power system for LCD panel
design.
The EL7586 and EL7586A are designed for continuous
current mode, but they 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:
Where D is the duty cycle of the switching MOSFET.
Figure 26 shows the block diagram of the boost regulator. 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 60k
is recommended.
The boost converter output voltage is determined by the
following equation:
The current through the MOSFET is limited to 2A peak for
the EL7586. This restricts the maximum output current
based on the following equation:
Where
IL is peak to peak inductor ripple current, and is set
by:
where f
S
is the switching frequency.
