The LT
®
1942 is a highly integrated quad switching regu-
lator designed to provide all necessary power supply
functions for TFT displays, including the white LED
backlight driver. The TFT supply incorporates two boost
and one inverting DC/DC converters. The TFT supply
output voltages are independently set, unlike charge
pump solutions which have many limitations. Power
sequencing for the TFT supply is built into the part and is
user programmable.
The LED driver is a boost DC/DC converter that can be
independently controlled. The LED driver has built-in
dimming control for precise control of LED current. An 8:1
dimming range is achieved by adjusting the CTRL4
voltage.The user can elect to drive a single string or two
strings of LEDs. An LED ballast circuit is included to
precisely match the LED currents if two strings of LEDs are
used. Soft-start is built into the LED driver as well as the
primary TFT supply.
The LT1942 is available in a low profile (0.75mm) 24-lead
QFN (4mm
×
4mm) package.
