The LT
®
1943 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 V
LOGIC
with up to
2A current. A high-power step-up converter, a lower-
power step-up converter and an inverting converter pro-
vide the three independent output voltages AV
DD
, V
ON
and
V
OFF
required by the LCD panel. A high-side PNP provides
delayed turn-on of the V
ON
signal and can handle up to
30mA. Protection circuitry ensures that V
ON
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 ce-
ramic 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 AV
DD
output.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1943E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization, and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
The C
T
pin is held low until FB1, FB2, FB3 and FB4 all ramp above
the FB threshold offset.
Note 4:
Current flows into FB1, FB2, FB3 and FB4 pins.
Note 5:
Current flows out of NFB4 pin.
Note 6:
Current limit is guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static
test. Slope compensation reduces current limit at high duty cycle.
Note 7:
This is the minimum voltage across the boost capacitor needed to
guarantee full saturation of the internal power switch.
