General Description
The MAX8758 includes a high-performance step-up regu-
lator, a high-speed operational amplifier, and a logic-
controlled, high-voltage switch-control block with pro-
grammable delay. The device is optimized for thin-film
transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal display (LCD) applications.
The step-up DC-DC regulator provides the regulated sup-
ply voltage for the panel source driver ICs. The converter
is a high-frequency (640kHz/1.2MHz), current-mode regu-
lator with an integrated 14V n-channel power MOSFET.
The high-switching frequency allows the use of ultra-small
inductors and ceramic capacitors. The current-mode con-
trol architecture provides fast transient response to pulsed
loads. The regulator achieves efficiencies over 85% by
bootstrapping the supply rail of the internal gate driver
from the step-up regulator output. The step-up regulator
features undervoltage lockout (UVLO), soft-start, and
internal current limit. The high-current operational amplifier
is designed to drive the LCD backplane (VCOM). The
amplifier features high output current (±150mA), fast slew
rate (7.5V/μs), wide bandwidth (12MHz), and rail-to-rail
inputs and outputs.
The MAX8758 is available in a 24-pin, 4mm x 4mm, thin
QFN package with a maximum thickness of 0.8mm for
ultra-thin LCD panels. The device operates over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
