LT1943 - High Current Quad Output Regulator for TFT LCD Panels

The LT1943 quad output adjustable switching regulator provides power for large TFT LCD panels. The device, housed in a low profile 28 pin thermally enhanced TSSOP package, can generate a 3.3V or 5V logic supply along with the triple output supply required for the TFT LCD panel. Operating from an input range of 4.5V to 22V, a step-down regulator provides a low voltage output VLOGIC with up to 2A current. A high-power step-up converter, a lowerpower step-up converter and an inverting converter provide the three independent output voltages AVDD, VON and VOFF required by the LCD panel. A high-side PNP provides delayed turn-on of the VON signal and can handle up to 30mA. Protection circuitry ensures that VON is disabled if any of the four outputs are more than 10% below the programmed voltage.

All switchers are synchronized to an internal 1.2MHz clock, allowing the use of low profile inductors and ceramic capacitors throughout. A current mode architecture provides excellent transient response. For best flexibility, all outputs are adjustable. Soft-start is included in all four channels. A PGOOD pin can drive an optional PMOS pass device to provide output disconnect for the AVDD output.
