EV0055 (MP1530) TRIPLE OUTPUT STEP-UP PLUS CHARGE PUMP FOR TFT BIAS
EVALUATION BOARD
QUICK START GUIDE
The three output voltages of this board are set to +13V, +27V, and –8.5V. The board layout
accommodates most commonly used inductors and output capacitors.
1. Attach the positive end of loads to the VMAIN, VGH and GND (for the negative output) pins,
respectively. Attach negative ends of the loads to GND and VGL (for the negative output) pins.
2. Attach an input voltage 2.7V
≤
V
IN
≤
5.5V and input ground to the VIN and GND pins,
respectively.
3. The demo board starts up automatically once V
IN
is applied due to the pull-up resistor R1. To
disable the MP1530 connect the EN pin to ground.
4. During startup
RDY
will be left HIGH. Once the turn-on sequence is complete, this pin will be
pulled LOW if all regulators exceed 80% of their specified voltages. After all regulators are
turned-on, a fault in any regulator will cause
RDY
to go HIGH after approximately 15µs. If the
fault persists for more than approximately 6ms (for CT=10nF), the entire chip will shut down.
5. To adjust the output voltages:
Use a 10kΩ to 50kΩ for the low-side resistor of each voltage divider (i.e. R7, R9 and R5).
