(EN) ASYMMETRIC MULTIPHASE BOOST FOR DISPLAY BACKLIGHTS
(FR) SURVOLTEUR MULTIPHASÉ ASYMÉTRIQUE POUR RÉTROÉCLAIRAGES D'AFFICHAGE

Abstract
(EN) An asymmetric multiphase boost that provides flash functionality for display backlights. A backlight power management module for a display backlight may implement and control an asymmetric multiphase boost that includes two boost phases: a primary boost phase for typical display backlighting, and a secondary or flash boost phase that provides flash functionality via the display backlight when needed. The primary boost phase may be sized to provide high low-load efficiency, high inductance, and low switching frequency for normal display backlight operations. The flash boost phase may be sized for high current and peak power, low inductance, and high switching frequency for pulsed current applications. Via the asymmetric multiphase boost, the backlight power management module may, for example, be used to provide a camera flash function for front facing cameras.
(FR) L'invention concerne un survolteur multiphasé asymétrique qui fournit une fonctionnalité de flash pour des rétroéclairages d'affichage. Un module de gestion de puissance de rétroéclairage pour un rétroéclairage d'affichage peut mettre en œuvre et commander un survolteur multiphasé asymétrique qui comprend deux phases de survolteur : une phase de survolteur primaire pour un rétroéclairage d'affichage typique, et une phase de survolteur secondaire ou flash qui fournit une fonctionnalité de flash par l'intermédiaire du rétroéclairage d'affichage lorsque cela est nécessaire. La phase de survolteur primaire peut être dimensionnée pour fournir une haute efficacité à faible charge, une inductance élevée, et une faible fréquence de commutation pour des opérations de rétroéclairage d'affichage normales. La phase de survolteur de flash peut être dimensionnée pour un courant élevé et une puissance de crête, une faible inductance, et une fréquence de commutation élevée, et pour des applications de courant pulsé. Par l'intermédiaire du survolteur multiphasé asymétrique, le module de gestion de puissance de rétroéclairage peut, par exemple, être utilisé pour fournir une fonction de flash d'appareil photo pour des appareils photo orientés vers l'avant.
