The MAX8740 is a high-performance, step-up DC-DC
converter that provides a regulated supply voltage for
active-matrix, thin-film transistor (TFT), liquid-crystal
displays (LCDs). The MAX8740 incorporates currentmode,
fixed-frequency, pulse-width modulation (PWM)
circuitry with a built-in n-channel power MOSFET to
achieve high efficiency and fast transient response.
Users can select 640kHz or 1.2MHz operation using a
logic input pin (FREQ). The high switching frequencies
allow the use of ultra-small inductors and low-ESR
ceramic capacitors. The current-mode architecture provides
fast transient response to pulsed loads. A compensation
pin (COMP) gives users flexibility in adjusting
loop dynamics. The 30V internal MOSFET can generate
output voltages up to 28V from a 2.6V and 5.5V input
voltage range. Soft-start slowly ramps the input current
and is programmed with an external capacitor.
The MAX8740 is available in a 10-pin thin DFN package.
