MAX20069B
Automotive I C-Controlled 4-Channel 150mA
Backlight Driver and 4-Output TFT-LCD Bias
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX20069B is a highly integrated TFT power supply
and LED backlight driver IC for automotive TFT-LCD ap-
plications. The IC integrates one buck-boost converter,
one boost converter, two gate-driver supplies, and a
boost/SEPIC converter that can power one to four strings
of LEDs in the display backlight.
● 4-Output TFT-LCD Bias Power
• 2.8V to 5.5V Input for the TFT-LCD Section
• Integrated 440kHz or 2.2MHz Boost and Buck-
Boost Converters
• Positive and Negative 3mA Gate Voltage
Regulators with Adjustable Output Voltage
• Flexible Resistor-Programmable Sequencing
through the SEQ Pin
The source-driver power supplies consist of a synchro-
nous boost converter and an inverting buck-boost convert-
er that can generate voltages up to +15V and down to
-7V. The positive source driver can deliver up to 120mA,
while the negative source driver is capable of 100mA. The
• Undervoltage Detection on All Outputs
• Low-Quiescent-Current Standby Mode
● 4-Channel LED Backlight Driver
• Up to 150mA Current per Channel
• 4.5V to 42V Input Voltage Range
• Integrated Boost/SEPIC Controller (440kHz or
2.2MHz)
positive source-driver supply regulation voltage (V
) is
POS
set by connecting an external resistor-divider on FBP or

through I C. The negative source-driver supply voltage
(V
) is always tightly regulated to -V
(down to a
NEG
POS
minimum of -7V). The source-driver supplies operate from
an input voltage between 2.8V and 5.5V.
• Dimming Ratio 10,000:1 at 200Hz
• Adaptive Voltage Optimization to Reduce Power
Dissipation in the LED Current Sinks
• Open-String, Shorted-LED, and Short-to-GND
Diagnostics
The gate-driver power supplies consist of regulated
charge pumps that generate up to +28V and -21.5V and
can deliver up to 3mA each.
● Low EMI
The IC features a quad-string LED driver that operates
• Phase-Shift Dimming of LED Strings
• Spread Spectrum on LED Driver and TFT
• Selectable Switching Frequency with Fine-Tuning
from a separate input voltage (V
) and can power up
BATT
to four strings of LEDs with 150mA (max) of current per
string. The IC features logic-controlled pulse-width-modu-
lation (PWM) dimming, with minimum pulse widths as low
as 500ns with the option of phase shifting the LED strings
with respect to each other. When phase shifting is en-
abled, each string is turned on at a different time, reducing
the input and output ripple as well as audible noise. With
phase shifting disabled, the current sinks turn on simulta-
neously and parallel connection of current sinks is possi-
ble.

The startup and shutdown sequences for all power do-
mains are controlled using one of the seven preset modes,
which are selectable through a resistor on the SEQ pin or
