Product details
Overview
LTC3450EUD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a triple-output TFT-LCD power supply IC integrating a synchronous boost converter and three charge pumps. It delivers 5.1V/10mA, ±10V or ±15V/500µA, and 15V/500µA from 1.5V–4.6V input, with controlled power-up sequencing (AVDD → VGL → VGH), <2µA shutdown current, and 90%+ efficiency - used in compact color display modules for handheld instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3450EUD#TRPBF pinout, LTC3450EUD#TRPBF application, or LTC3450EUD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage configuration (VINV-selectable negative rail), blank/scan mode frequency reduction, soft-start via SHDN RC network, and QFN-16 thermal pad connection to VNEG.
Technical Context
The LTC3450EUD#TRPBF employs a fixed-frequency (550kHz nominal), current-mode synchronous boost regulator to generate AVDD (5.1V), which feeds three open-loop, frequency-synchronized charge pumps: a doubler (V2X = 10.2V), tripler (V3X = 15.3V), and inverter (VNEG = –5V/–10V/–15V). All outputs are internally sequenced with precise timing delays (1ms, 4ms) to prevent LCD panel latch-up.
It supports dual operating modes: SCAN mode (full performance, 75µA quiescent) and BLANK mode (reduced 15.62kHz boost frequency, ~30µA quiescent), with MODE pin control. Shutdown (SHDN) actively discharges all outputs and reduces VIN current to <2µA, while soft-start is implemented externally via resistor/capacitor on SHDN.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5V to 4.6V - supports single Li-ion or 2–3 alkaline cells without external regulation. |
| AVDD Output | 5.100V ±1%, 10mA - low-noise, high-efficiency main bias rail for TFT source drivers. |
| V2X Output | 10.1V ±3%, 500µA - charge pump doubler output for gate-on voltage (VGH) scaling. |
| V3X Output | 15.2V ±3%, 500µA - charge pump tripler output for high-voltage VGH generation. |
| VNEG Output | –10.1V ±3%, 500µA - inverter output selectable to –5V/–10V/–15V via VINV pin connection. |
| Quiescent Current (SCAN) | 75µA typical - enables ultra-low power operation during active display scanning. |
| Shutdown Current | <2µA - ensures rapid battery preservation when display is off. |
| Switching Frequency | 550kHz (SCAN), 15.62kHz (BLANK) - reduces EMI and improves light-load efficiency in standby. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 3mm × 3mm, 16-pin plastic QFN (UD package) with exposed thermal pad connected to VNEG (Pin 3); height 0.75mm - optimized for thin handheld display assemblies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C3+ | Inverter flying capacitor positive node | AC-coupled switching node between GND and VINV; requires ≥10nF X5R ceramic capacitor. |
| C3− | Inverter flying capacitor negative node | AC-coupled switching node between GND and VNEG; critical for stable –5V/–10V/–15V generation. |
| VNEG | Negative output rail | Configurable –5V/–10V/–15V output; exposed pad must be soldered to this pin for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| MODE | Power mode select | High = SCAN (550kHz, full current); Low = BLANK (15.62kHz, reduced load capability); must be pulled up at startup. |
| SHDN | Master shutdown control | Active-low; discharges all outputs and cuts VIN current to <2µA; RC network enables soft-start ramp. |
| VIN | Main input supply | 1.5V–4.6V input; bypassed with 2.2µF X5R capacitor to minimize noise and sag. |
| VOUT | Boost regulator output | 5.1V/10mA main rail; feeds V2X/V3X/VNEG charge pumps and serves as AVDD for LCD. |
| SW | Internal switch node | Connects to inductor; P-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier prevents reverse inductor current. |
| GND | Signal and power ground | Common reference for all regulators; requires short, low-inductance PCB path to all output capacitors. |
| C1−, C1+ | Doubler flying capacitor nodes | Form 2× multiplier stage; C1+ switches between VOUT and V2X; C1− switches between GND and VOUT. |
| C2−, C2+ | Tripler flying capacitor nodes | Form 3× multiplier stage; C2+ switches between V2X and V3X; C2− switches between GND and VOUT. |
| V2X | Doubler output | 10.2V nominal; supplies VGH intermediate rail or VINV for –10V generation. |
| V3X | Tripler output | 15.3V nominal; primary VGH supply for small TFT-LCD panels requiring 15V gate drive. |
| VINV | Inverter positive input | Defines VNEG polarity: tied to VOUT → –5V; tied to V2X → –10V; with external diodes → –15V. |
| Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical connection | Mandatory connection to VNEG (Pin 3); not GND - ensures thermal dissipation and output stability. |

FAQ
What is the function of the VINV pin on the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF?
The VINV pin on the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF sets the magnitude of the negative output voltage (VNEG). When tied to VOUT (5.1V), VNEG = –5V; when tied to V2X (10.2V), VNEG = –10V; and with two external Schottky diodes, it enables –15V generation. This pin directly defines the inverter's gain ratio and must be routed with low-impedance traces to avoid regulation error in the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF.
How does the MODE pin affect efficiency and output capability of the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF?
The MODE pin on the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF selects between SCAN mode (MODE = VIN, 550kHz switching, full 10mA AVDD) and BLANK mode (MODE = GND, 15.62kHz switching, reduced load capability). In BLANK mode, the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF lowers quiescent current to ~30µA and maintains low-noise operation - ideal for display idle states where power savings outweigh peak current needs.
Can the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF generate –15V, and what external components are required?
Yes, the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF can generate –15V using two external low-current Schottky diodes (e.g., Panasonic MA704WKCT) as shown in Figure TA02 of the datasheet. VINV is connected to V3X (15.3V), and the diodes configure the inverter stage for 3× inversion. The LTC3450EUD#TRPBF itself requires no internal changes - only the external diode network and proper capacitor sizing per the application note.
What is the recommended soft-start implementation for the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF?
The LTC3450EUD#TRPBF implements soft-start via an RC network on the SHDN pin: a resistor (RSS = 1MΩ–10MΩ) and capacitor (CSS = e.g., 6.8nF) between SHDN and GND. During power-up, SHDN voltage ramps per the R•C time constant; the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF begins switching only after SHDN exceeds 0.77V, and current limit increases gradually - preventing inrush stress on the input source and inductor.
Why must the exposed thermal pad of the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF be connected to VNEG instead of GND?
The exposed pad of the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF is electrically connected to Pin 3 (VNEG) internally and must be soldered to a PCB copper area tied to VNEG - not GND - to ensure proper thermal dissipation and output stability. Connecting it to GND creates a short circuit between VNEG and ground, damaging the LTC3450EUD#TRPBF and disabling the negative rail functionality.
