ZXLB1600
LCD AND OLED BIAS BOOST CONVERTER - STN, CSTN SCREENS
DESCRIPTION
The ZXLB1600 inductive switching boost converter accepts an input voltage of between 1.6V and 5.5V and provides an adjustable output voltage of up to 28V for LCD and OLED bias. The device contains an output switch and a second switch to isolate the coil from the input to provide true isolation in shutdown mode. The output can be adjusted by means of an externally applied dc voltage, a PWM control signal, or external feedback resistors and can supply typically 10mA of output current at maximum output voltage. Higher current is available at lower output voltages.
The input voltage range accepts a number of battery solutions, including dualdrycellandsingleLi-Ioncells and PFM operation mode allows the output to be regulated with high efficiency under light or no load conditions.Theswitchingfrequencyrangepermitsthe use of miniature surface mount inductors.
A low battery comparator is provided to indicate when the input voltage has fallen to within ±2% of a preset threshold. This threshold is set internally , but can be adjusted externally to any voltage within the supply voltage range.

Device description
The device is a flyback boost converter, working in discontinuous mode.
With reference to the chip block diagram and typical application circuit, the operation of the device is as follows:
Control loop
When 'EN' is high, the control circuits become active. The high side of the coil is connected to the input via a large PMOSisolatingswitch (MP)and thelow side toground via NDMOS transistor (MN). The current in the coil is allowed to build up to an internally defined level (nominally 200 to 300mA) before MN is turned off. The energy stored in the coil is then transferred to the output capacitor (C2) via diode(D1). The outputvoltage is sensedat pin 'SENSE' by internal resistors R1 and R2 (which may be shunted externallyat pin'FB') and comparedto areference voltage (1.23V nominal). A comparator senses when the output voltage is above that set by the reference and its output is used to control the 'off' time of the output switch. The control loop is self-oscillating, producing pulses of 10␮s maximumduration (switch'on'), at afrequency thatvaries in proportion to the output load current. The minimum 'off'time of theoutput switch is fixed at1.25s nominal,to allow time for the coil's energy to be dissipated before the switch is turned on again. This maintains stable and efficient operation.

The output voltage is equal to the voltage present on the 'ADJ' pin of the device multiplied by the internal resistor network factor (R1+R2)/R1. The ADJ pin is connected to the internal reference voltage of value V

Filtered PWM operation
The input of an internal low pass filter is switched to V
when the EN pin is high and switched to ground
REF
when the EN pin is low. The output of this filter drives the comparator within the control loop. A continuous highstate onENtherefore providesa filteredvoltage of value Vref to the comparator and the control loop regulates the output to a nominal value of 28V. However,by varying the duty cycle (D) of the EN signal at a suitably high frequency (f>10kHz), the control loop will see a voltage, that has an average value equal to the duty cycle multiplied by V meansof adjusting theoutput voltage toa lower value. It also allows the device to be both turned on and adjustedwith a single signalat the 'EN' pin.The output duringthismode ofoperation willbea dcvoltage equal to D x 28V
. This provides a
REF
Gated PWM operation
The internal circuitry of the ZXLB1600 is turned off whenno signal is present on the 'EN' pin formore than 120s (nominal). A low frequency signal applied to the ENpin willtherefore gate thedevice 'on' and 'off' atthe gating frequency and the duty cycle of this signal can be varied to provide a 'chopped' output voltage equal to D x 28V. For best accuracy, the gating frequency should be made as low as possible (e.g. below 1kHz), such that the turn off delay of the chip is only a small proportion of the gating period.
Low battery detection
A comparator driving an open drain NMOS output transistor performs the low battery flag function. The detection threshold (battery voltage falling) is set to
1.98V nominal with internal resistors R3 and R4, but this can be changed by shunting the internal potential divider with two external resistors at pin 'LBT'. Operation is such that the output transistor will be turned on when the battery voltage falls below the detection threshold.

A small amount (nominal 20mV) of hysteresis is provided to aid clean switching. The low battery detection circuit remains active when 'EN' is low.

APPLICATION NOTES
Adjusting output voltage
When connected as shown in the typical application circuit, the ZXLB1600 will produce a nominal output voltageof 28V. Thiscan be adjustedby one ofthe three methods described below.
ZXLB1600
in this way. However, some non-linearity in the above expression may occur at values of VADJ below approximately 0.5V.
Also note that when driving the ADJ pin, the control voltage must have sufficiently low impedance to sink the bias current of the internal reference.(10A max).
1) Output voltage adjustment by external resistors
The internal reference and resistor divider network R1 and R2 set a nominal output of 28V. However, this network is accessible at the FB pin and can be shunted by means of external resistors to set different nominal output voltages. The potential divider defines output voltage according to the relationship:
V
= (R1+R2)/R1 x 1.23V
OUT(dc)
When using external resistors, these should be chosen with lower values than the internal resistors to minimize errors caused by the ±25% absolute value variationof the internalresistors. The internalresistors have high values in order to minimize these errors.
The following table gives suggested E24/E96 resistor values for various output voltages.

3) PWM output adjustment
A Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal can be applied to the EN pin in order to adjust the output voltage to a value below the value set in in 1) or 2). This method of adjustment permits the device to be turned on and the outputvoltage set bya singlelogic signalapplied tothe ENpin. No externalresistors or capacitors arerequired and the amplitude of the control signal is not critical, providing it conforms to the limits defined in the electrical characteristics.
Two modes of adjustment are possible as described below:
Filtered 'DC' mode
If a PWM signal of 10kHz or higher is applied to the EN pin, the device will remain active when the EN pin is low. However, the input to the internal low pass filter willbe switchedalternately fromV
toground, witha
REF
dutycycle (D)corresponding to thatof thePWM signal. This will present a filtered dc voltage equal to the duty cycle multiplied by V
to the control loop and will
REF
produce a dc output voltage lower than the maximum set value. This voltage is given by:
V
= 28 x D
OUT
A square wave signal applied to the EN pin, for example,willturn thedevice onandproduce anominal regulated output of 14V.
2) Output adjustment by external voltage
The internal voltage reference (Pin ADJ) may be overdriven by an external control voltage to set the output voltage. The relationship between applied voltage (V

Gated mode
The ZXLB1600 contains a timing circuit that switches the device on a few microseconds after the application of a rising edge to EN and turns it back off again nominally 120s after the falling edge of EN. So, if a lowerfrequency of1kHz or lessis applied to the ENpin, the device will be gated on and off at a duty cycle (D) corresponding to that of the input signal. The average output voltage is then given by:
V
OUT(avg)
Outputvoltage can be adjustedall the way downto the input voltage by means of PWM control, but for best results, the duty cycle range should be kept within the specified range of 0.4 to 1. Lower duty cycles may result in increased output ripple and non-linearity in the relationship between duty cycle and output voltage. If a greater control range, or reduced ripple is required,the nominal output canbe adjusted by one of the other methods before the PWM signal is applied.
Negative output
The ZXLB1600 can be used to provide a negative output voltage (in addition to the normal positive output) as shown in the application circuit below. In this circuit, the external resistors R3 an R4 are used to set the output voltage to 22V as described in the previous section. These resistors and output capacitor
~ 28 x D
C2 have relatively low values in this circuit in order to give a short time constant. This improves the regulation of the negative voltage.
Capacitor selection
A low ESR ceramic capacitor grounded close to the GND pin of the package is recommended at the output of the device. Surface mount types offer the best performance due to their lower inductance. A minimum value of 1F is advised, although higher values will lower switching frequency and improve efficiency especially at lower load currents. A higher value will also minimize ripple when using the device to provide an adjustable dc output voltage.
A good quality, low ESR capacitor should also be used for inputdecoupling, as the ESRof this capacitor iseffectively in series with the source impedance and lowers overall efficiency. This capacitor has to supply the relatively high peak current to the coil and smooth the current ripple on the input supply. A minimum value of 3.3F is acceptable if the input source is close to the device, but higher values are recommended at lower input voltages, when the source impedance is high. The input capacitor should be mounted as close as possible to the IC.
For maximum stability over temperature, capacitors with X7R dielectric are recommended, as these have a muchsmallertemperature coefficientthanother types.

ZXLB1600
Inductor selection
The choice of inductor will depend on available board space as well as required performance. Small value inductors have the advantage of smaller physical size and may offer lower series resistance and higher saturation current compared to larger values. A disadvantage of smaller inductors is that they result in higher frequency switching, which in turn causes reduced efficiency due to switch losses. Higher inductor values can provide better performance at lower supply voltages. However, if the inductance is too high, the output power will be limited by the internal oscillator, which will prevent the coil current from reaching its peak value. This condition will arise whenever the ramp time I
(peak) x L/VINexceeds the
LX
preset10µsmaximum ‘on’timelimit fortheLX output. The ZXLB1600 has been optimized for use with
inductorvalues in therange 10Hto100␮H.The typical characteristics show how efficiency and available output current vary with input voltage and inductance. The inductor should be mounted as close to the device as possible with low resistance connections to the LX and SW pins.
Suitable coils for use with the ZXLB1600 are those in the LP02506 and DO1608 series, made by Coilcraft.
Diode selection
The rectifier diode (D1) should be a fast low capacitanceswitching type with lowreverse leakage at the working voltage. It should also have a peak current rating above the peak coil current and a continuous current rating higher than the maximum output load current. Small schottky diodes such as the BAT54 are suitable for use with the ZXLB1600 and this diode will give good all round performance over the output voltage and current range. At lower output voltages, a largerschottkydiode suchas theZHCS500or MBR0540 will provide a smaller forward drop and higher efficiency. At higher output voltages, where forward drop is less important, a silicon switching diode such asthe1N4148 canbe used,howeverthis willgive lower efficiency.
The BAT54S device specified in the application circuit contains a second diode (D2) as one half of a series connected pair. This second diode is used here to clamp possible negative excursions (due to coil ringing) from driving the drain of the output transistor below -0.5V. This prevents internal coupling effects, which might otherwise affect output regulation. The table below gives some typical characteristics for various diodes.

Increased efficiency
Ifisolation ofthe coilfrom the supply is notneeded, the high side of this can be connected directly to VIN to improve efficiency. This prevents power loss in the internalPMOSswitch andtypical efficiencygainsof 5% canbe achieved. (See efficiency vs.load curves). Some applications may require the coil to be fed from a separate supply with a different voltage to V case, the SW pin should be left floating.
Layout considerations
PCB tracks should be kept as short as possible to minimize ground bounce and the ground pin of the deviceshould be soldered directly tothe ground plane. It is particularly important to mount the coil and the input/output capacitors close to the device to minimize parasitic resistance and inductance, which will degrade efficiency and increase output ripple. The FB and LBT pins are high impedance inputs, so PCB track lengths to these should also be kept as short as possible to reduce noise pickup. Output ripple is typically only 50mV p-p, but a small feed-forward capacitor (~100pF) connected from the FB pin to the output may help to reduce this further. Capacitance from the FB pin to ground should be avoided, but a capacitorcan be connected fromthe LBT pin to ground toreduce noise pickup into thelow battery comparator if required.

Low battery detection circuit
The device contains an independent Low Battery Detection Circuit that remains powered when the device is shutdown. The detection threshold is set internally to a default value of 1.98V, but can be adjusted by means of external resistors as described below.
Low battery threshold adjustment, LBT
The internal potential divider network R3/R4 sets the detection threshold. This is accessible at the LBT pin and can be shunted by means of external resistors to set different nominal threshold voltages. The potential divider defines threshold voltage according to the relationship:
V
= (R3+R4)/R4 x 1.21V
LBT
When using external resistors, these should be chosen with lower values than the internal resistors to minimize errors caused by the 25% absolute value variationof the internalresistors. The internalresistors have high values in order to minimize these errors. It is suggested to use values less than half those shown for R3, R4 at the bottom of page 3.
Low battery flag output, LBF
Thisisan opendrain outputthatswitches lowwhen the battery voltage falls below the detection threshold. An externalpull-up resistor can beconnected to this pin to allow it to interface to any voltage up to a maximum of 29V.Current in the pull-up resistorshould be limited to a value below I
