EC9232
Multi-Channel TFT LCD Supply
General Description
The EC9232 is an integrated power supply solution optimized for small to medium size thin-film transistor (TFT)
liquid crystal displays (LCD’s). The boost converter operates at the frequency of 1.2MHz. The integrated N
channel FET has a typical current limit of 3.0A and can support output voltages up to 20V. The gate-on and
gate-off charge pumps provide regulated TFT-LCD gate-on and gate-off supplies. Both outputs can be adjusted
by external resistive voltage-dividers. The GPM is a flicker compensation circuit to reduce the coupling effect of
gate lines; the gate-shaping timing is controlled by the timing-controller to modulate the Gate-On voltage, VGHM
It also can delay the Gate-On voltage during power-on to achieve a correct power-on sequence for gate driver
ICs. Both the power-on delay time and the falling time of the Gate-On voltage are programmable by external
capacitor and resistor. The integrated operational amplifier is typically used for LCD VCOM driving; the output can
sink or source up to 350mA short-circuit current. This operational amplifier features fast slew rate (40V/us), wide
bandwidth (20MHz), and rail-to-rail outputs as well. A built-in voltage detector generates a reset signal when the
input voltage drops below a specified level. The reset signal is active low, and the detecting level is decided by
an external resistor divider. The EC9232 is available in a thin 24-pin 4x4 mm VQFN green package.
