Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電機與控制工程系所 === 96 === LCD panels are going more and more popular. The applications of the LCD panels are widely spread in our daily life. From the small LCD panels on palmtop entertainment machine and cell phone to the large LCD panels on LCD TV or outdoor display screen. Therefore, the power supply blocks for LCD panels are more and more important. The needs to integrate the power supply block into the LCD driver circuits are rise in great demands. In other words, it is necessary to reduce the size of the power supply block chip and reduce the number of the external components.
The power sources for LCD panels need different voltage scale to charge and discharge the liquid crystal capacitors. Among the DC-DC power converters, inductive switching converters need external components as inductors and charge pumps need external components as capacitors. Compare these two external components inductors and capacitors, inductors occupy larger board area than that of capacitors. Besides, LCDs need a negative voltage to discharge the liquid crystal capacitors. It is difficult for Inductive switching converters to generate a negative voltage. Therefore, for cost and area considerations, we use charge pumps to replace inductive switching converters. In this thesis, the ripple of the charge pump is further reduced by an improved double phase cross-coupled charge pump structure.
This thesis implements a switchable multi output DC-DC converter utilize improved dual phase cross-coupled charge pumps. The input voltage is a high voltage 10V. The circuit can supply 4 different output voltages, 10V, 20V, -10V and 0V. The maximum current load is 50mA. The chip is simulated and fabricated by TSMC 0.25um 2.5V/5V/12V/40V 1P5M BCD process CMOS technology.
