RT9921
Integrated Multi-Channel DC/DC Converter for TFT LCD Panels
General Description
The RT9921 includes a high-performance boost regulator, a low dropout linear regulator (LDO), a gate pulse modulator (GPM), a voltage detector, a VCOM buffer (unitygain OPA), and a VGH charge pump controller for activematrix thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal displays (LCDs).
The boost converter provides the regulated supply voltage for the panel source driver ICs. The converter is a high switching frequency (640kHz or 1.2MHz) current-mode regulator with an integrated 16V N-Channel 0.2Ω MOSFET that allows the use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic capacitors. It provides fast transient response to pulsed loading while achieving efficiency over 90%.
