directed to the layout guidelines and component selection
sections to avoid problems during initial evaluation and
prototype PCB generation.

switching the voltage on COM between ground, DRN and
SRC, under control of the start-up sequence and the CTL pin.
Once the start-up sequence has completed, CTL is enabled
and acts as a multiplexer control such that if CTL is low,
COM connects to DRN through a 5Ω internal MOSFET, and
if CTL is high, COM connects to SRC via a 30Ω MOSFET.
The slew rate of start-up of the switch control circuit is mainly
restricted by the load capacitance at COM pin, as in

Op Amps
The ISL97642 has 3 amplifiers respectively. The op amps
are typically used to drive the TFT-LCD backplane (V
or the gamma-correction divider string. They feature rail-to-
rail input and output capability. They are unity gain stable,
and have low power consumption (typical 600μA per
amplifier). The ISL97642 has a -3dB bandwidth of 12MHz
while maintaining a 10V/μs slew rate.
Short Circuit Current Limit
The ISL97642 will limit the short circuit current to ±180mA if
the output is directly shorted to the positive or the negative
supply. If an output is shorted for a long time, the junction
temperature will trigger the Over-Temperature Protection
limit and, hence, the part will shut down.
Driving Capacitive Loads
ISL97642 can drive a wide range of capacitive loads. As
load capacitance increases, however, the -3dB bandwidth of
the device will decrease and the peaking will increase. The
amplifiers drive 10pF loads in parallel with 10kΩ with just
1.5dB of peaking, and 100pF with 6.4dB of peaking. If less
peaking is desired in these applications, a small series
resistor (usually between 5Ω and 50Ω) can be placed in

series with the output. However, this will obviously reduce
the gain. Another method of reducing peaking is to add a
“snubber” circuit at the output. A snubber is a shunt load
consisting of a resistor in series with a capacitor. Values of
150Ω and 10nF are typical. The advantage of a snubber is
that it does not draw any DC load current and reduce the
gain.
Over-Temperature Protection
An internal temperature sensor continuously monitors the
die temperature. In the event that the die temperature
exceeds the thermal trip point, the device will be latched off
until either the input supply voltage or enable is cycled.
Layout Recommendation
The devices performance (including efficiency, output noise,
transient response and control loop stability) is dramatically
affected by the PCB layout. PCB layout is critical, especially
at high switching frequency.
There are some general guidelines for layout:
A demo board is available to illustrate the proper layout
implementation.
1. Place the external power components (the input
2. Place VREF and VDD bypass capacitors close to the
3. Reduce the loop with large AC amplitudes and fast slew
4. The feedback network should sense the output voltage
5. The power ground (PGND) and signal ground (SGND)
6. The exposed die plate, on the underneath of the

diodes, etc.) in close proximity to the device. Traces to
these components should be kept as short and wide as
possible to minimize parasitic inductance and resistance.

package, should be soldered to an equivalent area of
metal on the PCB. This contact area should have multiple
via connections to the back of the PCB as well as
connections to intermediate PCB layers (if available) to
maximize thermal dissipation away from the IC.
soldered to a multi-layer PCB, the amount of copper track
and ground plane area connected to the exposed die
plate should be maximized and spread out as far as
possible from the IC. The bottom and top PCB areas
especially should be maximized to allow thermal
dissipation to the surrounding air.
