Applications Information
The EL7640, EL7641, EL7642 provide 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 (V
V
) with multiple protection functions. The block diagram
OFF
of the whole part is shown in Figure 17. Table 1 lists the
recommended components.
The EL7640, EL7641, EL7642 integrate an N-channel
MOSFET in boost converter to minimize the external
component counts and cost. The V
ON
, V
OFF
regulators are independently regulated by using external
resistors. To achieve higher voltage than V
multiple stage charge pumps may be used.
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 EL7640, EL7641,
EL7642 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:

Figure 18 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.

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.
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.
NOTE: Capacitors have a voltage coefficient that makes their
effective capacitance drop as the voltage across them increases.
C
in the equation above assumes the effective value of the
OUT
capacitor at a particular voltage and not the manufacturer’s stated
value, measured at zero volts.
Compensation
The EL7640, EL7641, EL7642 can operate in either P mode
or PI mode. Connecting COMP pin directly to V
will enable

P mode; For better load regulation, use PI mode with a
2.2nF capacitor and a 180Ω resistor 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, V
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 V
is reduced, by means of a series

Calculation of the Linear Regulator Base-emitter

For the pass transistor of the linear regulator, low frequency

transfer function at fp = f
T/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 R
(RBP, RBL, RBN in the Functional

Block Diagram), which increases the pole frequency to:

B
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 V
operating requirement of 50mA the data
ON
sheet indicates Hfe_min = 60. The base-emitter saturation
voltage is: Vbe_max = 0.7V.
For the EL7640, EL7641 and EL7642, 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
This is the minimum value that can be used – so, we now
choose a convenient value greater than this minimum value;
say 700Ω. Larger values may be used to reduce quiescent
current, however, regulation may be adversely affected by
supply noise if R
is made too high in value.

the capacitance value. The capacitance value can be
chosen by the following equation:

of grounding quality and decoupling is necessary to avoid
falsely triggering the fault detection scheme – especially
during start-up. The user is directed to the layout guidelines
and component selection sections to avoid problems during
initial evaluation and prototype PCB generation.
VON-Slice Circuit
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.
During the start-up sequence, COM is held at ground via an
NDMOS FET, with ~1k impedance. 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

COM connects to SRC via a 30Ω MOSFET.
The slew rate of start-up of the switch control circuit is mainly
restricted by the load capacitance at COM pin as in the

The EL7640, EL7641 and EL7642 have 1, 3 and 5 amplifiers
respectively. The op amps are typically used to drive the
TFT-LCD backplane (V
divider string. They feature rail-to-rail input and output
capability, they are unity gain stable, and have low power
consumption (typical 600µA per amplifier). The EL7640,
EL7641 and EL7642 have a –3dB bandwidth of 12MHz while
maintaining a 10V/µs slew rate.
Short Circuit Current Limit
The EL7640, EL7641 and EL7642 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
EL7640, EL7641 and EL7642 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 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.
Over-Temperature Protection
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.
Layout Recommendation
The device’s 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 V
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 V
