SGM3838
Triple-Output 700mA
AMOLED Display Power Supply
● Synchronous Inverting Buck-Boost Converter
(ELVSS)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SGM3838 is designed for powering AMOLED
displays which require VELVDD, VELVSS and VAVDD. The
device integrates two Boost converters, VO1 for VELVDD
and VO3 for VAVDD, and a dual-phase inverting
Buck-Boost converter VO2 for VELVSS. Output voltages
of all the three converters can be programmed in digital
steps through the digital interface control pin (SWIRE).
-6.0V to -0.8V Output Voltage with 100mV Steps
