Description

The STOD13A is a dual DC-DC converter for AMOLED display panels. It integrates a step-up and an inverting DC-DC converter making it particularly suitable for battery operated products, in which the major concern is overall system efficiency. It works in pulse skipping mode during low load conditions and PWM-MODE at 1.5 MHz frequency for medium/high load conditions. The high frequency allows the value and size of external components to be reduced. The Enable pin allows the device to be turned off, therefore reducing the current consumption to less than 1 µA. The negative output voltage can be programmed by an MCU through a dedicated pin which implements single-wire protocol. Soft-start with controlled inrush current limit, thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection are integrated functions of the device.
