General Description
The MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712 offer complete lin-
ear-regulator power-supply solutions for thin-film tran-
sistor (TFT) liquid-crystal-display (LCD) panels used in
LCD monitors and LCD TVs. All three devices include a
high-performance AVDD linear regulator, a positive
charge-pump regulator, a negative charge-pump regu-
lator, and built-in power-up sequence control. The
MAX8710 and MAX8711 also include a high-current
operational amplifier. Additionally, the MAX8710 pro-
vides logic-controlled high-voltage switches to control
the positive charge-pump output.
The linear regulator directly steps down the input volt-
age to generate the supply voltage for the source-driver
ICs (AVDD). The two built-in charge-pump regulators
are used to generate the TFT gate-on and gate-off sup-
plies. The high-current operational amplifier is typically
used to drive the LCD backplane (VCOM) and features
high output current (150mA), fast slew rate (12V/µs),
and wide bandwidth (12MHz). Its Rail-to-Rail
®
inputs
and output maximize flexibility.
The MAX8710 is available in a 24-pin thin QFN package,
the MAX8711 is available in a 16-pin thin QFN package,
and the MAX8712 is available in a 12-pin thin QFN pack-
age. All three packages are 4mm x 4mm with a maximum
thickness of 0.8mm for ultra-thin LCD panel design. They
operate over the -40°C to +100°C temperature range.
