Functional Description
www.zetex.com
The ZXLD1615 and ZXLD1601 are PFM
inductive DC-DC boost converters. They are
particularly suited to provide bias voltages for
LCD and OLED displays. Up to 28V can be
generated from an input voltage between 2.5
and 5.5V.
The switch is integrated on chip together with
the peak current sense resistor. An output
current of 10mA is available at 28V, with
proportionally higher currents at lower
voltages.
The output voltage is set by 2 external
resistors connected to the feedback input.
PWM control at the enable input can be used
to adjust this voltage. An on chip filter
enables flicker free control at PWM
frequencies above 10kHz, or normal gated
control below 1kHz.

Typical
quiescent
current (µA)
Quiescent current is typically 60µA. At
shutdown the maximum current is 100nA.
The ZXLD1615ET5 is packaged in a low
profile TSOT23-5 package. Maximum
package height is 1mm. The ZXLD1601 is
packaged in a small footprint SC70-6
package.
The ZXLD1615ET5 is pin compatible with
LT1615, TPS61040 and SP6690. In many
applications the ZXLD1615 can replace
these parts. Input voltage range is the main
difference. Most other parameters are the
same or very close.

Competition
There are several competitive solutions
available for LCD and OLED biasing. Zetex
has chosen to make a SOT23-5 pin
compatible version of the industry leading
LT1615. This should enable an easy
acceptance of the part and a high chance of
being considered as an alternative source.
Other SOT23-5 pin compatible parts are:
LX
FB
GND
R2
C2
R1
The ZXLD1601H6 is one of the smallest
packages available for this function. This will
be of interest where space is a premium.
Other parts which are similar but not pin
compatible are:
Maxim – MAX1605 in SOT23-6
Micrel – MIC2141
Sipex – SP6690
TI – TPS61040
Zetex is price competitive with respect to all
these suppliers.
The main performance attributes of the
ZXLD1615 compared with competition are

Potential customers to look for
www.zetex.com
• LCD or OLED module manufacturers
where a complete display system is
provided to end users. (This is also an
opportunity for the ZXLD1937 when
backlighting is included in the module.)
• Manufacturers of handheld equipment
incorporating color LCD or OLEDs
where bias is generated externally to the
display module. This typically includes
digital cameras, mobile phones, PDAs,
GPS and portable test equipment.
• Users of LT1615 where the supply
voltage range is within 2.5 to 5.5V.
