Backlight and LCD Bias Reference Design for 90-Hz Refresh-Rate Virtual/Augmented Reality Displays

TIDA-01635

Design files

Overview

This reference design describes the power solution for LCD displays in wearable devices, especially in augmented-reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets. The high current accuracy backlight driver is achieved by LP8556, which provides high current during small duty cycle synchronized with refresh rate. The LCD bias power driver is provided by TPS65132, which is simple to use and has a small package. The detailed design theory, component selection, and test results are also discussed.

Features
  • Strobe backlight with 90Hz
  • Support 50mA with 6 channels
  • Backlight on with 10% duty burst mode
  • Supports one Li-ion battery input or 12-V adaptor input
