About This Manual This users guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the TPS61040EVM LCD bias supply evaluation module (EVM). This EVM is a Texas Instruments high-efficiency boost converter that is configured to generate 18 V at 20 mA, for LCD bias supply, from a single cell Li−Ion battery.
Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter contains background information for the TPS61040 and support documentation for the TPS61040EVM−001 evaluation module. Topic Page Background ..........
LCD bias with either a variable resistance or an analog voltage. The output voltage of the TPS61040EVM can be adjusted up to 28 V by modifying the resistor values used in resistor divider R1 & R2. The EVM can also be configured for higher or lower output currents.
Chapter 2 Setup and Test Results This chapter describes how to properly connect, setup, and use the TPS61040EVM−001. This chapter also presents the test results for this EVM. Topic Page Input/Output Connections ........
Input/Output Connections 2.1 Input/Output Connections The TPS61040EVM−001 PWB has several connections, which are described in Table 2−1. Table 2−1. Input/Output Connections Reference Name Description Designator This is the positive connection to the input power supply. The leads to the input supply should be twisted and kept as short as possible.
Output Voltage Ripple Figure 2−1. Start-Up Waveforms 2.4 Output Voltage Ripple Figure 2−2 shows the output voltage ripple with I = 20 mA. The top trace shows the ripple with 3.6-V input, and the bottom trace shows the ripple with a 4.2-V input.
Switching Waveforms 2.5 Switching Waveforms Figure 2−3 shows the switching waveform at the SW pin of the TPS61040. When the internal FET turns on, the voltage at the SW pin is pulled to ground until the inductor current reaches 450 mA. When the inductor current reaches 450 mA, the FET turns off and the voltage at the SW pin rises to the output voltage plus the forward voltage drop of the diode.
Efficiency Figure 2−4. Input Ripple Voltage Input Ripple Voltage Input Ripple Current 2.7 Efficiency Figure 2−5 shows the measured efficiency of the TPS61040. Figure 2−5. Typical Efficiency V I = 6 V V I = 4.2 V V I = 3.6 V V I = 2.5 V 12.5 17.5...
Output Adjust 2.8 Output Adjust The TPS61040EMV−001 provides two methods of output voltage adjustment for LCD contrast control. The first method of output voltage adjustment is accomplished with a variable resistor, while the second method is accomplished using a variable control voltage. 2.8.1 Variable Resistor Output Voltage Adjust This method is accomplished by removing R2 on the EVM and then placing...
3.1 Layout Board layout is critical for all switch mode power supplies. Figures 3−1, 3−2 and 3−3 show the board layout for the TPS61040EVM−001 PWB. The nodes with high-switching frequency are short and isolated from the noise-sensitive feedback circuitry. Careful attention has been given to the routing of high-frequency current loops.
