GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADD8754 is optimized for use in TFT LCD applications,
requiring only external charge pump components to provide all
the requirements for panel power, V
COM
, and gate modulation.
Included in a single chip are a high frequency step-up dc-to-dc
switching regulator, logic voltage regulator, V
COM
amplifier, and
gate pulse modulation circuitry.
The step-up dc-to-dc converter provides up to 20 V output and
includes a 2 A internal switch. Either a 650 kHz or 1.2 MHz step-
up switching regulator frequency can be chosen, allowing easy
filtering and low noise operation. It achieves 93% efficiency and
features soft start to limit the inrush current at startup.
The internal voltage regulator operates with an input voltage
range of 3 V to 5.5 V and delivers a load current of up to
350 mA. Three selectable output voltages are available: 2.5 V,
2.85 V, and 3.3 V.
The proprietary V
COM
amplifier can deliver a peak output
current of 300 mA and is specifically designed to drive TFT
panel loads.
The gate pulse modulator allows shaping of the TFT gate high
voltage to improve image quality. The integrated switches
provide the ability to independently control the delay and slope
for the gate drive voltage.
The ADD8754 is offered in a 24-lead, Pb-free LFCSP package and
is specified over the industrial temperature range of 40 to +85°C.
