DESCRIPTION
The LT®1942 is a highly integrated quad switching regulator designed to provide all necessary power supply functions for TFT displays, including the white LED backlight driver. The TFT supply incorporates two boost and one inverting DC/DC converters. The TFT supply output voltages are independently set, unlike charge pump solutions which have many limitations. Power sequencing for the TFT supply is built into the part and is user programmable.
