The device converts the logic-level signals generated by the Timing Controller (T-CON) to the high-level gate drive signals used by the display panel and amplifies/buffers an externally generated VCOM voltage. IN5 OUT5 IN6 OUT6 APPLICATIONS * Large Format LCD Displays using GIP Technology The 10 level shifter channels are organized as 2 groups, each with its own positive supply. Channels 1-6 and 9-10 are supplied by VGH1 and channels 7-8 are supplied by VGH2. The two positive supplies can be tied together if one positive supply voltage is used for all level shifter channels. Both level shifter groups use the same negative supply VGL. The level-shifters feature low impedance output stages that achieve fast rise and fall times even when driving significant capacitive loads.

The 10 level shifter channels are organized in two groups: the first group, comprising channels 1-6 and 9-10 is powered from VVGH1 and VGL; the second group, comprising channels 7 and 8 is powered from VGH2 and VGL. Channels 1 to 8 are optimized for high speed operation while channels 9 and 10 operate a little slower. All level shifter channels feature the same input circuitry and are compatible with the standard logic-level signals generated by timing controllers in typical applications. The output circuitry has been designed to achieve high rise and fall times when driving the capacitive loads typically encountered in LCD display applications The input and output stages of the operational amplifier extend close to both supply rails and the output stage has been optimized to supply the fast transient currents typical in VCOM applications. APPLICATION INFORMATION It is recommended to use high quality ceramic capacitors to decouple each supply pin. In typical applications 10 F is recommended for VGH1 and VGL, while 1 F is normally sufficient for VGH2. Use level shifter channels 1 to 8 for high-speed clock signals and use channels 9 to 10 for lower-speed signals (see Figure 14). The inputs of any unused level shifter channels should be tied to GND. The outputs of any unused level shifter channels should be left floating. It is recommended to use low-value feedback resistors with the VCOM buffer to minimize the effects of stray capacitance at its inverting input. Using high value feedback resistors can cause excessive peaking in the amplifier's gain response (caused by pole formed by the feedback resistor and the stray capacitance). If the VCOM buffer is used in a unity gain configuration, the flattest gain response is achieved using a direct connection between the amplifier's output and inverting input. If the VCOM buffer is not used, tie AVDD, its inverting and non-inverting inputs, and its output to GND. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2009, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS65190 TPS65190 www.ti.com..........................................................................................................................................................................................

Typical Application Circuit PCB LAYOUT Proper PCB layout is essential if the TPS65190's specified performance is to be achieved, and the following basic steps should be followed as a minimum: 1. Use high quality ceramic decoupling capacitors, placed as close as possible to the IC pins they are decoupling 2. Use short, wide tracks to route power to the IC 3. Ensure that the PCB's thermal design is adequate to dissipate power away from the IC The TPS65190 is supplied in a 28-Pin QFN thermally enhanced package designed to eliminate the use of bulky heat sinks and slugs. In order to benefit from these superior thermal properties PCB layout and manufacturing should follow the guidelines contained in the following application reports, available for free download from http://www.ti.com. * Application Report - QFN Layout Guidelines (SLOA122) * Application Report - QFN/SON PCB Attachment (SLUA271A) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2009, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TPS65190 11 PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 8-Dec-2009 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) Package Type Package Drawing TPS65190RHDR ACTIVE VQFN RHD Pins Package Eco Plan (2) Qty 28 3000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) Lead/Ball Finish CU NIPDAU MSL Peak Temp (3) Level-2-260C-1 YEAR (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
