Final Electrical Specifications
LT1948
DC/DC Converter for
TFT-LCD Panels
August 2000
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®1948 is a highly integrated multiple output DC/DC
converter designed for use in TFT-LCD panels. The device
contains two independent switching regulators: the main
regulator has an adjustable output voltage with an internal
1.1A switch that can generate a boosted voltage as high as
30V while the second regulator generates 23V at up to
10mA for positive bias. A simple level-shift charge pump
off the main switch node generates the negative bias
voltage. An external capacitor sets the delay time from
AVDD reaching final value to 23V appearing at the VON pin.
The 3MHz switching frequency allows the use of tiny low
profile chip inductors and capacitors throughout, provid-
ing a low noise, low cost total solution with all components
under 1.25mm in height. The device operates from an
input range of 2.6V to 6V and is available in an 8-lead
MSOP package.
