The TPS65186 device is a single-chip power supply
designed to for E Ink Vizplex displays used in
portablee-readerapplications, andthedevice
supports panel sizes up to 9.7 inches and greater.
Twohigh-efficiencyDC-DCboostconverters
generate ±16-V rails that are boosted to 22 V and
–20 V by two change pumps to provide the gate
driver supply for the Vizplex panel. Two tracking
LDOs create the ±15-V source driver supplies that
support up to 120-mA of output current. All rails are
adjustable through the I2C interface to accommodate
specific panel requirements.

Accurate back-plane biasing is provided by a linear amplifier that can be adjusted from 0 V to –5.11 V with 9-bit
control through the serial interface; it can also source or sink current depending on panel condition. The
TPS65186 supports automatic panel kickback voltage measurement, which eliminates the need for manual
VCOM calibration in the production line. The measurement result can be stored in nonvolatile memory to become
the new VCOM power-up default value.
TPS65186 is available in a 48-pin 7-mm × 7-mm2VQFN with 0.5-mm pitch.

electrically connected to PBKG, which is supposed to be tied to the output of buck-boost converter. Thus wide copper trace in the buck-

Minimum delay time between WAKEUP rising edge and IC ready to accept I2C transaction.
In this example, the first power-up sequence is started by pulling the PWRUP pin high (rising edge). Power-down is
initiated by pulling the WAKEUP pin low (device enters sleep mode). The second power-up sequence is initiated by
pulling the WAKEUP pin high while the PWRUP pin is also high (power up from sleep to active).
The TPS65186 device provides two adjustable LDOs, inverting buck-boost converter, boost converter, thermistor
monitoring, and flexible power-up and power-down sequencing. The system can be supplied by a regulated input
voltage ranging from 3 V to 6 V. The device is characterized across a –10°C to 85°C temperature range, best
suited for personal electronic applications.
The I2C interface provides comprehensive features for using the TPS65186. All rails can be enabled or disabled.
Power-up and power-down sequences can also be programmed through the I2C interface, as well as thermistor
configuration and interrupt configuration. Voltage adjustment can also be controlled by the I2C interface.
The adjustable LDOs can supply up to 120 mA of current. The default output voltages for each LDO can be
adjusted through the I2C interface. LDO1 (VPOS) and LDO2 (VNEG) track each other in a way that they are of
opposite sign but same magnitude. The sum of VLDO1 and VLOD2 is guaranteed to be less than 50 mV.
There are two charge pumps: VDDH and VEE 10 mA and 12 mA respectively. These charge pumps boost the
DC-DC boost converters ±16-V rails to provide a gate channel supply.
The power good functionality is open-drain output, if any of the four power rails (CP1, CP2, LDO1, LDO2) are not
in regulation, encounters a fault, or is disabled the pin is pulled low. PWR_GOOD remains low if one of the rails
is not enabled by the host and only after all rails are in regulation PWR_GOOD is released to Hi-Z state (pulled
up by external resistor).
The TPS65186 provides circuitry to bias and measure an external NTC to monitor the display panel temperature
in a range from –10°C to 85°C with and accuracy of ±1°C from 0°C to 50°C. Temperature measurement are
triggered by the controlling host and the last temperature reading is always stored in the TMST_VALUE register.
Interrupts are issued when the temperature exceeds the programmable HOT, or drops below the programmable
COLD threshold, or when the temperature has changed by more than a user-defined threshold from the baseline
value.
This device is offered in a 48-Pin, 0.5-mm Pitch, 7 mm × 7 mm × 0.9 mm (VQFN) RGZ package.
The power-up and power-down order and timing is defined by user register settings. The default settings support
the E Ink Vizplex panel and typically do not need to be changed.
In SLEEP mode the TPS65186 is completely turned off, the I2C registers are reset, and the device does not
accept any I2C transaction. Pull the WAKEUP pin high with the PWRUP pin low and the device enters STANDBY
mode that enables the I2C interface. Write to the UPSEQ0 register to define the order in which the output rails
are enabled at power-up and to the UPSEQ1 registers to define the power-up delays between rails. Finally, set
the ACTIVE bit in the ENABLE register to 1 to execute the power-up sequence and bring up all power rails.
Alternatively, pull the PWRUP pin high (rising edge).
After the ACTIVE bit has been set, the negative boost converter (VN) is powered up first, followed by the positive
boost (VB). The positive boost enable is gated by the internal power-good signal of the negative boost. Once VB
is in regulation, it issues an internal power-good signal and after delay time UDLY1 has expired, STROBE1 is
issued. The rail assigned to STROBE1 will power up next and after its power-good signal has been asserted and
delay time UDLY2 has expired, STROBE2 is issued. The sequence continues until STROBE4 has occurred and
the last rail has been enabled.
To power down the device, set the STANDBY bit of the ENABLE register to 1 or pull the PWRUP pin low (falling
edge) and the TPS65186 will power down in the order defined by DWNSEQx registers. The delay times DDLY2,
DDLY3, and DDLY4 are weighted by a factor of DFCTR which allows the user to space out the power down of
the rails to avoid crossing during discharge. DFCTR is located in register DWNSEQ1. The positive boost (VB) is
shut down together with the last rail at STROBE4. However, the negative boost (VN) remains up and running for
another 50 ms. Then VN is powered down and the device enters STANDBY or SLEEP mode, depending on the
WAKEUP pin.
If either the ACTIVE bit is set or the PWRUP pin is pulled high while the device is powering down, the powerdown sequence (STROBE1-4) is completed first, followed by a power-up sequence. VB and VN may or may not
be powered down and depending on the relative timing of STROBE4 to the new power-up event.
During power-up, if the STANDBY bit is set or the PWRUP pin is pulled low, the power-up sequence is aborted
and the power-down sequence starts immediately.
8.3.2 Dependencies Between Rails
Charge pumps, LDOs, and VCOM driver are dependent on the positive and inverting buck-boost converters and
several dependencies exist that affect the power-up sequencing. These dependencies are the following:
•Inverting buck-boost (DCDC2) must be in regulation before positive boost (DCDC1) can be enabled.
Internally, DCDC1 enable is gated by DCDC2 power good.
•Positive boost (DCDC1) must be in regulation before LDO2 (VNEG) can be enabled. Internally LDO2 enable
is gated DCDC1 power good.
•Positive boost (DCDC1) must be in regulation before VCOM can be enabled. Internally VCOM enable is
gated by DCDC1 power good.
•Positive boost (DCDC1) must be in regulation before negative charge pump (CP2) can be enabled. Internally
CP2 enable is gated by DCDC1 power good.
•Positive boost (DCDC1) must be in regulation before positive charge pump (CP1) can be enabled. Internally
CP1 enable is gated by DCDC1 power good.
•LDO2 must be in regulation before LDO1 can be enabled. Internally LDO1 enable is gated by LDO2 power
good.
