Hi,
in a PCB I am designing I need to power two different types of displays (both datasheets attached) but only 1 at the time - i.e. two products each with just one display and both using the same PCB design (with jumpers for config/voltage setting) - with the following backlight characteristics:
- Product A uses Display 1 with Backlight needing 18V @ 80mA
- Product B uses Display 2 with Backlight needing 30V @ 40mA
On the PCB the only voltages available are 5V and 24V.
So I was thinking of using:
a) either a boost converter boosting from 5V (datasheet of a possible IC attached - but it does not provide guideline on maximum output voltage generally nor at any given current). If any of them can boost from 5V to 30V at 50mA then that solves it. But from reading some online posts that is pushing it to its limits.
b) or a buck-boost fed from the 24V
The buck-boost ICs are all relatively large (working with 0402 because of limited space). So a couple of questions:
1. Are there better solutions?
2. is the 5V boost to 30V configuration feasible? that is 6x voltage boost. Is it reliable?
3. generally speaking, out of the two solutions (a) and (b), I assume solution (b) is more reliable?
Thank you

My suggestion is a multi output flyback:
[attachimg=1]
You don't have to use this particular device, but the basic circuit topology is the general idea.

Thank you Andy,
sorry, my OP was not clear, I meant only 1 display is connected at any given time to the PCB. I just updated the OP.
So the same PCB drives either the display with 30V backlight or the display with the 18V backlight. Two products each with just a single display (a different size each) but the same PCB is used for both.
Thank you

Thank you @langwadt
I don't think that would suit my application. In the datasheet it shows a wide input voltage but only a couple of LEDs in series on the output.
Also the datasheet is not in english so cannot read any of the notes/specs. So would not take such risk.
Any other part perhaps?
Thank you

(datasheet of a possible IC attached - but it does not provide guideline on maximum output voltage generally nor at any given current)
The datasheet tells you straight up what its output voltage range is.
-
You are correct,
but it does not mean it can push 5V to 30V.
Also the datasheet is not in English so I don't want to use it to find out there are some specs/details I should have known but couldn't read because of the language.
Also just below Fig 6c the only english comment is (VIN<V LED VIN>VLED) which makes no sense.
Or do you just mean that - with reference to one of my original questions - any switcher can boost from 5V to 30V? Not sure I understand if so.
If so, could anybody suggest any english datasheets?
Thank you as always :)

(VIN<V LED or VIN>VLED) so it can do both 24V to 18V and 24V to 30V, just pick the right current set resistor

You should check out the MPS MP3363: https://www.monolithicpower.com/en/mp3363.html (https://www.monolithicpower.com/en/mp3363.html)
I think it would be a perfect fit for your application.
-
Would it be an option two have a PCB that allows populating different parts based on the screen used?
-
Thank you all for your replies.
@Zipdox not ideal, but which parts were you thinking about?
Thank you
-
You could have two drive circuits in the PCB design for the two displays but only populate the one you need.
-
Yes, but as mentioned in the OP the PCB has dimensions constraints.
Thank you

Google can translate pdf with quite good quality:

Thank you both! :)
@mariush those are great and what I was looking for. :-+
