Product details
Overview
EL7640AILTZ from Intersil is a TFT-LCD DC/DC power management IC integrating a 1.2MHz current-mode boost regulator (18V/3A FET), two LDO controllers for VON/VOFF, a VON-slice circuit with adjustable delay, and one rail-to-rail operational amplifier for VCOM/VGAMMA biasing. It delivers 150mA peak output drive, 12MHz bandwidth, and 12V/µs slew rate in a single 32-pin QFN package, targeting LCD panel power sequencing in notebook displays.
For engineers reviewing the EL7640AILTZ datasheet, EL7640AILTZ pinout, EL7640AILTZ application, or EL7640AILTZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its integrated single-op-amp configuration (vs. EL7641A/EL7642A's 3/5 amplifiers), 1% boost output accuracy, -40°C to +85°C operation, and compatibility with external PNP/NPN pass transistors for programmable VON/VOFF generation.
Technical Context
The EL7640AILTZ implements a fixed-frequency (1050–1350 kHz) current-mode PWM boost controller with internal 18V N-channel MOSFET, supporting both P-mode (fast transient response) and PI-mode (tight regulation) via COMP pin configuration. Its dual LDO controllers regulate VON (positive) and VOFF (negative) supplies using external transistors, with dedicated feedback pins (FBP/FBN), drive outputs (DRVP/DRVN), and fault comparators (trip thresholds at 0.9V and 430mV).
It integrates one high-speed rail-to-rail op amp (OUT1/POS1/NEG1) with 12MHz –3dB bandwidth, ±75mA continuous output current, and 12V/µs slew rate - optimized for VCOM buffering and gamma reference distribution. Power sequencing is controlled by DEL capacitor timing (10ms delays between VBOOST→VOFF→VON→VON-slice enable), and thermal shutdown activates at 140°C.

Pinout & Package
EL7640AILTZ uses a 32-lead 5mm × 5mm thin QFN package (MDP0051) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are identical across EL7640A/EL7641A/EL7642A families per datasheet Figure 1 (top view), with EL7640A omitting pins assigned to additional op amps (OUT2–OUT5, POS2–POS5, NEG2–NEG5).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SRC | Upper reference for COM switch | Provides 30V-rated high-side reference for VON-slice output switching; connects to COM when CTL = 1 via 15Ω RON. |
| REF | Internal reference bypass | Stabilizes 1.215V bandgap reference; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to AGND for noise immunity. |
| AGND | Analog ground | Reference for boost control, op amps, and feedback circuits; must be separated from PGND to avoid noise coupling. |
| PGND | Power ground | Return path for LX switch current; ties to AGND only at single point near IC to minimize ground bounce. |
| OUT1 | Op amp 1 output | Rail-to-rail output capable of ±75mA; drives VCOM or VGAMMA reference nodes directly without external buffers. |
| NEG1 / POS1 | Op amp 1 inputs | Fully rail-to-rail differential inputs; support direct connection to resistive gamma-divider networks. |
| BGND | Op amp ground | Separate ground return for all op amps; decoupled with 0.1µF capacitor to SUP to suppress supply noise. |
| SUP | Op amp positive supply | Accepts 4.5–18V input; powers all op amps and must be bypassed to BGND with 0.1µF capacitor. |
| LX | Boost switch node | Drives external inductor; integrates 160mΩ RON N-FET; rated for 24V max and 1.6A RMS current. |
| IN | Main input supply | 2.6–5.5V input; powers internal circuitry and boost controller; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to AGND. |
| FB | Boost feedback | Monitors divided VBOOST; 1.205V typical reference enables accurate output setting with <60kΩ divider. |
| COMP | Error amplifier compensation | Selects P-mode (direct to VIN) or PI-mode (RC network to GND) to trade transient response vs. load regulation. |
| FBP | VON LDO feedback | 1.2V reference input for positive LDO; fault trips at 0.9V falling edge, enabling overvoltage protection. |
| DRVP | VON LDO driver | Sinks up to 4mA to drive external PNP base; RON = 5–10Ω ensures fast turn-on of pass transistor. |
| FBN | VOFF LDO feedback | 0.203V reference input for negative LDO; fault trips at 430mV rising edge, protecting against VOFF overvoltage. |
| DRVN | VOFF LDO driver | Sources up to 4mA to drive external NPN emitter; RON = 30–60Ω balances drive strength and quiescent current. |
| DEL | Sequencing delay capacitor | Connects to 22–100nF capacitor to set 10ms delays between VBOOST, VOFF, VON, and VON-slice activation. |
| CTL | VON-slice control input | TTL-compatible input (0.4VLO/0.6VHI) enabling/disabling COM output; 1µA leakage ensures low-power standby. |
| DRN | Lower reference for COM switch | Provides low-side reference for VON-slice; connects to COM when CTL = 0 via 30Ω RON. |
| COM | VON-slice output | Switched output routed to SRC (CTL=1) or DRN (CTL=0); 15Ω/30Ω RON supports logic-level or analog switching. |

Use Scenario: Powering 15.6"–17.3" TFT-LCD panels requiring +20V VON, -8V VOFF, and rail-to-rail VCOM biasing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: EL7640AILTZ serves as primary power management IC, generating all panel bias rails and sequencing startup within 40ms. Use Value: Single-chip integration replaces discrete boost + dual LDO + op amp solutions, reducing board area by >35% and eliminating inter-stage timing mismatches. |
Use Scenario: Driving 10.1"–12.1" sunlight-readable industrial monitors operating in -30°C to +70°C environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: EL7640AILTZ regulates VON/VOFF under wide input (2.6–5.5V) and temperature (-40°C to +85°C), while its op amp maintains VCOM stability during rapid brightness changes. Use Value: 1% boost accuracy and 2% LDO regulation ensure consistent gamma curve fidelity across temperature, preventing grayscale inversion. |
| Embedded Display Modules | Medical Diagnostic Displays |
|
Use Scenario: Compact display subsystems in portable ultrasound or handheld test equipment with strict EMI and size constraints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: EL7640AILTZ's 1.2MHz boost minimizes inductor size and radiated emissions; its single op amp buffers gamma reference for 8-bit DAC output. Use Value: 5×5mm QFN footprint and integrated sequencing eliminate need for external supervisors, enabling sub-25mm² power section layouts. |
Use Scenario: High-reliability diagnostic displays in MRI or X-ray systems requiring fail-safe power sequencing and fault reporting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: EL7640AILTZ initiates VBOOST first, then asserts VOFF after 10ms, VON after another 10ms, and enables VON-slice only after full stabilization - preventing panel latch-up. Use Value: Dedicated fault comparators on FBP/FBN provide independent VON/VOFF monitoring, allowing system µC to detect and log overvoltage events before damage occurs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TFT-LCD power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| EL7641AILTZ | Includes three operational amplifiers (OUT1/OUT2/OUT3) instead of one; identical boost, LDO, and sequencing architecture. | Required when driving multi-segment VCOM or parallel gamma reference chains needing ≥2 independent buffered outputs. | Select EL7641AILTZ only if additional op amp channels are needed; pinout and PCB layout are identical, but firmware may require revalidation of op amp routing. |
| TPS65105RGER | TI device with integrated 2.5A boost, dual LDOs, and single op amp; operates at 1.1MHz, supports 2.7–5.5V input, but lacks VON-slice circuit and uses different feedback references (1.25V/0.6V). | Valid for cost-sensitive consumer notebooks where VON-slice functionality is unused and 1.25V boost reference suffices. | Choose TPS65105RGER for new designs prioritizing TI ecosystem support and lower unit cost; note that DEL-based sequencing and SRC/DRN/COM switching must be implemented externally. |
Compared with EL7641AILTZ, EL7640AILTZ saves cost and board space by omitting two op amps while retaining identical power stage performance and sequencing; versus TPS65105RGER, it offers tighter boost accuracy (1% vs. 2%), integrated VON-slice switching, and higher op amp slew rate (12V/µs vs. 8V/µs), making it preferable for high-fidelity gamma control.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the EL7640AILTZ boost regulator?
The EL7640AILTZ boost regulator supports an output voltage range up to 18V, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table (VBOOST MAX = 18V). This is achieved using an internal 18V-rated N-channel MOSFET on the LX pin. The actual output is set by an external resistor divider on the FB pin, referenced to a 1.205V internal bandgap. Operation beyond 18V risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and is not guaranteed.
Does the EL7640AILTZ include built-in protection features?
Yes, the EL7640AILTZ incorporates multiple protection mechanisms: undervoltage lockout (UVLO) triggers at 2.5V (rising) and 2.3V (falling); thermal shutdown activates at 140°C; boost current limit is set to 3A peak; and dedicated fault comparators monitor FBP (trip at 0.9V) and FBN (trip at 430mV) to protect VON and VOFF outputs. These features are fully integrated and require no external components.
Can the EL7640AILTZ drive external PNP and NPN transistors for VON and VOFF generation?
Yes, the EL7640AILTZ is explicitly designed to drive external PNP transistors for VON (via DRVP and FBP) and NPN transistors for VOFF (via DRVN and FBN). The datasheet provides detailed design equations and example circuits using Fairchild MMBT3906 (PNP) and MMBT3904 (NPN) transistors, including base-emitter resistor calculations (e.g., 700Ω RBP) to ensure stable regulation under 50mA load conditions.
How does the EL7640AILTZ handle power sequencing for TFT-LCD panels?
The EL7640AILTZ implements four-stage power sequencing using a single external DEL capacitor (22–100nF): VBOOST rises first, followed by VOFF after 10ms, then VON after another 10ms, and finally VON-slice activation after a third 10ms delay. This deterministic, capacitor-controlled sequence prevents panel damage from improper bias rail ramp-up order and eliminates the need for external microcontrollers or timers.
Is the op amp in the EL7640AILTZ rail-to-rail on both input and output?
Yes, the single operational amplifier in the EL7640AILTZ (pins OUT1, POS1, NEG1) features rail-to-rail input and output capability across its full supply range (4.5V to 18V on SUP). This allows direct interfacing with resistive gamma-divider networks and VCOM nodes without level-shifting, and supports full-scale output swing from near AGND to within 15mV of SUP under 100µA load.
