Product details
Overview
LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a highly integrated step-up DC/DC converter with 2A, 0.18Ω internal switch, adjustable 2.5V–20V boost output, integrated 200mA op-amp (HIOP version), gate pulse modulation (GPM) switch, and adjustable LDO - all in a 24-pin WQFN package. It targets TFT LCD bias generation where high-current analog drive, precise timing control, and multi-rail power sequencing are required.
For engineers reviewing the LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB datasheet, LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB pinout, LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB application, or LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include GPM timing compatibility (VFLK/VDPM thresholds), HIOP op-amp sourcing capability (215mA typ), dual-frequency switching (660kHz/1.28MHz), LDO dropout voltage (409mV @350mA), and thermal shutdown behavior at 145°C.
Technical Context
The LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB implements a current-mode PWM boost controller with selectable 660kHz or 1.28MHz operation, enabling compact external inductor and capacitor selection. Its integrated GPM block accepts VFLK timing signals and modulates VGHM output using an internal charge-pump architecture with RE/CE timing components.
The HIOP variant delivers 215mA op-amp source current (typ) and 205mA sink current (typ) at AVIN = 12V, supporting direct TFT gate driver buffering without external amplification. The LDO features rail-to-rail input range (2.5V–7V), 1.263V feedback reference, and stable operation with ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Boost Switch Current Limit | 2.6A typical - supports high peak loads in TFT VCOM/VGH drivers without external current limiting. |
| Op-Amp Output Current (HIOP) | 215mA source / 205mA sink (typ) - drives capacitive LCD gate lines directly, eliminating discrete buffers. |
| Switching Frequency | Selectable 660kHz or 1.28MHz via FREQ pin - enables trade-off between efficiency and component size for portable designs. |
| LDO Dropout Voltage | 409mV @350mA load - ensures stable 2.5–3.3V analog supply even with low headroom from boosted rail. |
| GPM VFLK Thresholds | Rising edge: 1.4V; falling edge: 0.4V - matches standard LCD timing controller logic levels for reliable on/off sequencing. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 145°C activation with ~20°C hysteresis - protects die during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 7V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), Li-polymer, or dual-cell alkaline inputs. |
Pinout & Package
LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB is housed in a 24-lead WQFN package (RTW0024A) with exposed thermal pad (DAP), θJA = 37°C/W. Pin 1 is NC; pins AGND and PGND must be connected directly to DAP for optimal thermal and noise performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 NC | No internal connection | Leave unconnected; no routing or soldering required. |
| 2 VGHM | GPM output | Drives gate driver supply; requires external RC filter (RE/CE) for slew control per timing spec. |
| 3 VFLK | TFT enable timing input | Accepts 30–64kHz square wave; rising/falling thresholds ensure robust LCD panel on/off detection. |
| 4 VDPM | GPM enable control | High = enable GPM; low = disable - used for power sequencing during sleep/wake transitions. |
| 5 VDD | GPM reference | Sets lower VGHM clamp level; connect to VIN if GPM unused. |
| 6 AVIN | Op-amp analog supply | 4V–14V range; decoupling critical for HIOP op-amp stability under dynamic load. |
| 7 OUT | Op-amp output | Directly drives TFT gate lines or external buffer; supports rail-to-rail swing into 2kΩ load. |
| 8 NEG | Op-amp inverting input | Used for closed-loop gain configuration or unity-gain follower in bias applications. |
| 9 POS | Op-amp non-inverting input | Accepts reference voltage or sensor signal; input bias current ≤550nA (HIOP). |
| 10 AGND | Analog ground | Shared reference for boost, LDO, and op-amp; must tie directly to DAP and PGND. |
| 11 ADJ | LDO feedback | 1.263V reference point; resistor divider sets LDO output (e.g., 2.5V, 2.8V, 3.3V). |
| 12 VOUT | LDO output | Stable low-noise analog supply; supports ceramic caps ≥2.2µF for fast transient response. |
| 13 LVIN | LDO input | Supplied from boosted rail or separate source; 2.5V–7V range enables flexible power tree design. |
| 14 SS | Soft-start control | External capacitor sets ramp time; ISS = 11µA typical enables precise inrush current limiting. |
| 15 VC | Boost compensation | Connects to error amplifier output; external RC network stabilizes loop dynamics. |
| 16 FREQ | Frequency select | AGND = 660kHz; VIN = 1.28MHz - no external clock needed; reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| 17 VIN | Main boost input | Primary power source for boost, GPM, and SHDN logic; UVLO triggers at 2.4V (off) / 2.5V (on). |
| 18 SW | Boost switch node | Connects to inductor and catch diode; 20V max rating allows 18V boost outputs with margin. |
| 19 SHDN | Enable/disable control | Active-low; threshold 0.4V (low) / 1.4V (high); supports system-level power gating. |
| 20 FB | Boost feedback | 1.263V reference; resistor divider from VOUT sets boost voltage up to 20V. |
| 21 PGND | Power ground | Source of NMOS switch and GPM return; must be low-inductance path to DAP. |
| 22 CE | GPM timing capacitor | With RE, sets VGHM rise/fall time; CE = 33pF typical for 30–64kHz VFLK operation. |
| 23 RE | GPM timing resistor | With CE, defines GPM slew rate; RE = 750Ω or 2.4kΩ selected per timing requirements. |
| 24 VGH | GPM high-voltage supply | 5V–30V input; powers internal charge pump; bias current varies with VGH and VFLK state. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail TFT power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3311SQX/NOPB | Standard op-amp (135mA source/sink), same pinout and GPM/LDO/boost functionality. | Lacks HIOP drive strength; insufficient for large-panel gate line charging or high-speed timing. | Select when display panel capacitance < 10nF per line and VFLK frequency ≤30kHz. |
| TPS65136RGZR | Dedicated TFT PMIC with dual boost + dual LDO + GPM; no integrated op-amp; 20-pin QFN. | Requires external op-amp for analog signal conditioning; higher channel count but less analog integration. | Choose when system needs independent VGH/VGL generation and op-amp is already present elsewhere in design. |
Compared with LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB, the standard LM3311SQX/NOPB saves cost but sacrifices 60% op-amp drive strength, while TPS65136RGZR offers greater rail flexibility but increases total component count and layout complexity due to missing op-amp integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage achievable with LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB in boost mode?
The LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB supports adjustable boost output voltages up to 20V, set by the resistor divider on the FB pin with a 1.263V internal reference. This allows direct generation of standard TFT VGH rails (e.g., 15V, 18V, or 20V) without external regulation stages.
How does the HIOP designation affect the op-amp performance of LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB?
The HIOP designation indicates the high-output-current op-amp variant: LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB delivers 215mA source and 205mA sink current (typical) at AVIN = 12V, versus 135mA/135mA for the standard version. This enables direct driving of high-capacitance TFT gate lines without external buffers.
Can LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB operate without using the Gate Pulse Modulation (GPM) function?
Yes. LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB operates fully as a boost converter + LDO + op-amp even with GPM disabled: tie VDPM low, connect VDD to VIN, and leave VFLK unconnected. All other functions remain active and unaffected.
What thermal considerations apply to LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB in continuous 2A boost operation?
LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB features thermal shutdown at 145°C with ~20°C hysteresis. With θJA = 37°C/W, maintaining junction temperature below limit requires ≥200mm² of 2-oz copper connected to the DAP under the package, especially at high duty cycles and ambient temperatures above 60°C.
Which external components are mandatory for basic LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB operation?
Mandatory components for LM3311SQX-HIOP/NOPB include: input capacitor (≥10µF ceramic), boost inductor (1–4.7µH), output capacitor (≥20µF ceramic), feedback resistors (FB/ADJ), LDO output capacitor (≥2.2µF), and soft-start capacitor (CSS). GPM components (RE/CE) and op-amp support parts are optional based on use case.
