Product details
Overview
LM3311SQ/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a highly integrated step-up DC/DC converter with co-located LDO regulator, rail-to-rail operational amplifier (135mA sink/source), and gate pulse modulation (GPM) switch for TFT LCD bias generation. It features a 2A, 0.18Ω internal NMOS switch, adjustable boost output up to 20V, and dual switching frequencies (660kHz/1.28MHz). Used in portable TFT-LCD power supplies where compact multi-rail generation is critical.
For engineers reviewing the LM3311SQ/NOPB datasheet, LM3311SQ/NOPB pinout, LM3311SQ/NOPB application, or LM3311SQ/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its integrated GPM timing control interface (VFLK/VDPM), LDO output adjustability via ADJ pin, soft-start programmability via SS pin, and thermal/UVLO protection behavior under transient load conditions.
Technical Context
The LM3311SQ/NOPB implements a current-mode PWM boost controller with internal compensation (VC pin), selectable fixed-frequency operation (FREQ pin), and duty-cycle-limited regulation up to 91% at 660kHz. Its GPM block accepts VFLK timing signals and modulates VGHM output using external RE/CE components to drive TFT gate drivers.
The integrated op-amp operates from AVIN (4–14V), delivers ±135mA typical output current, and supports unity-gain stable operation with ceramic capacitors. The LDO accepts LVIN (2.5–7V), regulates to user-set VOUT via ADJ feedback, and maintains <409mV dropout at 350mA - all while sharing thermal and ground domains with the boost stage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Boost Switch Current Limit | 2.0A min - ensures reliable inductor charging under peak load without cycle-by-cycle foldback. |
| Feedback Voltage (FB / ADJ) | 1.263V typ - sets precise output voltage for both boost and LDO via resistor divider ratio. |
| Switching Frequency | 660kHz or 1.28MHz - selected by FREQ pin; enables trade-off between efficiency and external component size. |
| LDO Dropout Voltage | 409mV max at 350mA - allows stable 2.8V output from 3.3V LVIN input with minimal headroom loss. |
| Op-Amp Output Current | ±135mA typ - sufficient to directly drive gate driver inputs or small-signal loads without external buffers. |
| GPM VGH Input Range | 5V to 30V - accommodates standard TFT panel VGH supply rails while enabling high-side PMOS control. |

Pinout & Package
LM3311SQ/NOPB is housed in a thermally enhanced 24-pin WQFN package (4mm × 4mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed die attach pad (DAP) tied internally to AGND/PGND. Thermal resistance θJA = 37°C/W on 2-layer board per RTW0024A package drawing.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No internal connection - must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
| 2 | VGHM | GPM output driving gate driver supply - sourced from internal PMOS; requires external RE/CE timing network. |
| 3 | VFLK | TFT frame latch signal input - controls GPM on/off timing synchronized to display controller. |
| 4 | VDPM | GPM enable/disable control - high = active; used for power sequencing during panel initialization. |
| 5 | VDD | GPM reference input - sets lower VGHM clamp level; connect to VIN if GPM unused. |
| 6 | AVIN | Op-amp analog supply - independent of boost/LDO rails; supports 4–14V range. |
| 7 | OUT | Op-amp output - capable of sourcing/sinking 135mA; rail-to-rail swing with 50V/µs slew rate. |
| 8 | NEG | Inverting input of op-amp - high-impedance node; requires low-noise routing near POS. |
| 9 | POS | Non-inverting input of op-amp - high-impedance node; used for precision sensing or buffer configuration. |
| 10 | AGND | Analog ground for boost, LDO, and op-amp - must connect directly to DAP and PGND beneath device. |
| 11 | ADJ | LDO feedback input - senses VOUT via resistor divider; 1.263V reference enables accurate output setting. |
| 12 | VOUT | LDO regulated output - adjustable from ~1.3V to LVIN − VDO; stable with ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 13 | LVIN | LDO input supply - accepts 2.5–7V; shares input path with boost VIN but decoupled internally. |
| 14 | SS | Soft-start control - external capacitor sets ramp time; ISS = 11µA typical charges CSS to 1.24V. |
| 15 | VC | Boost error amplifier output - connects to compensation network; critical for loop stability tuning. |
| 16 | FREQ | Frequency select - AGND = 660kHz, VIN = 1.28MHz; determines minimum off-time and inductor sizing. |
| 17 | VIN | Primary boost input - powers boost controller, GPM, and SHDN logic; 2.5–7V operating range. |
| 18 | SW | Boost switch node - connects to inductor and catch diode; handles 2A pulsed current with 0.18Ω RDS(ON). |
| 19 | SHDN | Active-low shutdown - pulls internal regulators and GPM offline; threshold = 0.4V (low), 1.4V (high). |
| 20 | FB | Boost feedback input - senses VOUT via resistor divider; identical 1.263V reference as ADJ pin. |
| 21 | PGND | Power ground - return path for boost switch and GPM circuits; tie directly to DAP and AGND. |
| 22 | CE | GPM timing capacitor - forms RC network with RE to set VGHM rise/fall time; CE current = 57µA typ. |
| 23 | RE | GPM timing resistor - sets VGHM discharge rate with CE; VGHM-RE resistance = 27–55Ω at 30V. |
| 24 | VGH | GPM high-voltage supply - powers internal PMOS switches; 5–30V range supports wide TFT panel compatibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated GPM block | Eliminates external gate driver ICs by generating timed VGHM pulses synchronized to VFLK/VDPM signals. |
| Adjustable soft-start | Programmable startup ramp via external SS capacitor prevents inrush current damage to input capacitors and inductors. |
| Dual-frequency selection | 660kHz/1.28MHz switching enables optimization for efficiency (lower fSW) or miniaturization (higher fSW). |
| LDO with ceramic stability | Stable with ≥2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramic output caps - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. electrolytic solutions. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at 145°C and re-enables at ~125°C - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Input UVLO with hysteresis | Enables only above 2.4V and disables below 2.1V - prevents erratic operation during battery brownout or cold start. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail TFT bias supply applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65136QRGER | Dual-output (VPOS/VNEG) charge pump + LDO; no integrated op-amp or GPM; 1.2MHz fixed frequency. | Lacks VFLK/VDPM timing interface and rail-to-rail op-amp - requires external circuitry for gate pulse control and signal conditioning. | Select when only dual-rail bias is needed and GPM timing is handled externally; smaller solution size but less integration. |
| MAX17105ATI+ | Triple-output (boost + dual LDO) + op-amp + GPM; 2.5A boost switch; supports 2.7–5.5V input only. | Higher boost current and wider VGH range (up to 36V); same GPM architecture but different pinout and timing parameter thresholds. | Select for higher-current panels (>2A VGH load) or wider VGH requirements; not drop-in due to different FB/ADJ reference (1.25V vs. 1.263V). |
Compared with TPS65136QRGER and MAX17105ATI+, the LM3311SQ/NOPB uniquely combines GPM timing control, op-amp buffering, and LDO regulation in one 24-pin WQFN - enabling full TFT bias generation without supplemental ICs while maintaining design flexibility through programmable soft-start and frequency selection.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with the LM3311SQ/NOPB boost converter?
The LM3311SQ/NOPB boost converter supports an adjustable output voltage up to 20V, set via the FB pin and external resistor divider. This is confirmed in the datasheet's "Features" section and validated by the absolute maximum SW voltage rating of 21V and typical application circuits targeting 8.5V–10.5V outputs. The 20V limit ensures safe operation within the internal switch's voltage handling capability.
How does the GPM function in the LM3311SQ/NOPB interact with VFLK and VDPM pins?
The GPM block in the LM3311SQ/NOPB uses VFLK as the frame latch timing input and VDPM as the enable/disable control. When VDPM is high, VGHM output is modulated in sync with VFLK edges to drive TFT gate drivers; pulling VDPM low disables GPM entirely. This behavior is explicitly defined in the Pin Descriptions and verified in Figures 52–55 of the SNVS320G datasheet.
Can the LM3311SQ/NOPB's op-amp drive capacitive loads directly, and what is its slew rate?
Yes, the LM3311SQ/NOPB's op-amp is specified for 50V/µs slew rate with CL = 10pF and remains stable with ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitors per the Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure 40–41). It delivers ±135mA typical output current, enabling direct drive of moderate capacitive loads like gate drivers without external buffers.
What thermal protection mechanisms are implemented in the LM3311SQ/NOPB?
The LM3311SQ/NOPB incorporates thermal shutdown that disables all functional blocks (boost, LDO, op-amp, GPM) when junction temperature reaches 145°C, with ~20°C hysteresis (re-enable at ~125°C). This is documented in the "THERMAL SHUTDOWN" section of the datasheet and verified by the Absolute Maximum Ratings table listing 150°C max junction temperature.
Is the LM3311SQ/NOPB compatible with ceramic output capacitors for both the boost and LDO stages?
Yes, the LM3311SQ/NOPB is explicitly designed for ceramic output capacitors: the LDO requires ≥2.2µF X5R/X7R ceramics (per "LINEAR REGULATOR (LDO)" section), and the boost stage is stable with standard ceramic COUT values (e.g., 20µF in Figure 45). This eliminates need for bulkier electrolytic or tantalum capacitors in space-sensitive designs.
