PMIC with Programmable Output for Large UHD TV LCD Panels
Silicon Mitus, Inc. launched the SM4805. SM4805 is a highly integrated multi-output PMIC that satisfies UHD TV LCD panel application requirements. The device has an input voltage range of 10.2V to 14.7V, and the company claims that it is the first device of its type that can power large UHD TV LCD panels.
The AVDD boost controller drives the external switches to provide high power at voltages required by the application. Three buck converters regulate output voltages from 0.8V to 3.5V with an output current of up to 2.5A. The power up sequence and the output voltages are programmable through the digital interface.
The SM4805 also features 4-channel gamma buffers and two VCOM op-amps that deliver low noise output.
Despite a high degree of integration, the company notes that the device operates at a lower temperature because of highly efficient dc-dc converters based on specialized IPs.
The SM4805 includes a programmable 7-bit VCOM calibrator with EEPROM for VCOM voltage calibration, seven switching regulators (AVDD boost converter, HAVDD buck converter, VGH boost converter and VGL buck-boost converter), VGL2 negative linear regulator, DVDD1 to 3 buck converters, 4-channel gamma buffers, and dual operational amplifiers.
The AVDD boost converter and the HAVDD buck converter deliver the regulated supply voltage for the panel source driver ICs. The DVDD1 to 3 buck converters provide the supply voltage for the I/O interface, the core of the T-CON and the other logic circuits.
A PG function gives it a reliable power sequence. The company designed the dual high-speed op-amps to drive the LCD backplane with the capability of high current and wide bandwidth.
The VGH boost converter delivers the regulated voltage for the positive gate driving supply, and the VGL buck-boost converter outputs the regulated voltage for the negative gate driving supply. VGH voltage can vary based on the temperature sensed by an external NTC thermistor.
The design compensates all regulators internally except AVDD boost converter, and the all switching converters feature high-efficiency and programmable frequency operation. The high switching frequency of these converters enables the use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic capacitors.
In addition to a true shutdown function of the AVDD boost converter, the device has a GPM function that reduces image sticking and enhances display quality.
Silicon Mitus optimized the PMIC for TFT LCD applications.
"With heightened levels of power consumption and power rails in UHD TV LCD panels, LCD panel PMICs require higher output power and integration with higher efficiency at lower IC temperatures. We are proud to offer the SM4805 that makes this possible as part of the Silicon Mitus TV LCD PMIC exhaustive portfolio," said Henry Jung, Head of Display Marketing.
