TFT LCD DC-to-DC Converter with Operational Amplifiers
TFT LCD DC-DC Converters Include a High-Performance Boost Regulator and Two High-Current Operational Amplifiers for Active-Matrix, Thin-Film Transistor (TFT), Liquid-Crystal Displays (LCDs)
The MAX1542/MAX1543 include a high-performance boost regulator and two high-current operational amplifiers for active matrix, thin-film transistor (TFT), liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). Also included is a logic- controlled, high-voltage switch with adjustable delay. The MAX1543 includes an additional high-voltage load switch and features pin-selectable boost regulator switching frequency.
The step-up DC-to-DC converter is a high-frequency 640kHz (MAX1543)/1.2MHz (MAX1542/MAX1543) current-mode regulator with a built-in power MOSFET that allows the use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic capacitors. It provides fast transient response to pulsed loads while producing efficiencies over 85%.
The two easy-to-use, high-performance operational amplifiers can drive the LCD backplane (VCOM) and/or the gamma correction divider string. The devices feature high short-circuit current (150mA), fast slew rate (7.5V/µs), wide bandwidth (12MHz), and rail-to-rail inputs and outputs.
The MAX1542/MAX1543 are available in 20-pin thin QFN packages with a maximum thickness of 0.8mm for ultra-thin LCD panel design.
