SNVAAA6 September 2024 LM61495
This application note uses TI’s reference design PMP23333. PMP23333 design used LM61495 synchronous buck regulator, with internal top and bottom FETs, which is configured as a synchronous inverting buck-boost converter. The LM61495 is regulator that provide either fixed or adjustable output voltage that can be set from 1V to 95% of expected input voltage. LM61495 can operate under a wide input voltage range from 3V to 36V and have transient tolerance up to 42V which can give proper design flexibility to designers.

Figure 3-2 PMP23333 (Bottom) Board Image| Parameter | Specifications |
|---|---|
| VIN | 12 VDC ±10% |
| VOUT | –8 VDC |
| IOUT | 2.7A continuous (4A peak) |
| FSW | 400kHz nominal |
This design generates an output of –8V, capable of delivering 2.7A continuous (4A peak) of current to the load, from a +12V, ±10% input. The design covers up to 32W power rating. So PMP23333 can be a great start point of design to cover up to 49 inch OLED panel for monitor, small TV applications. As described in Section 1, -VOUT can be decided by OLED characteristics. -VOUT value can be set by configuration of feedback resistors as shown in Figure 3-3, PMP23333 schematic. If designer requires higher power rating for bigger OLED panel, controller design needs to be considered due to current, thermal limitations, and so on.
