ECB and LCD Display Bias Supply with Accurate
Output Voltage and Temperature Compensation
General Description
The MAX1729 micropower step-up/step-down DC-DC
converter is ideally suited for electrically controlled bire-
fringence (ECB) and liquid-crystal-display (LCD) bias-
supply generation. It provides step-up/step-down
voltage conversion and reduces output ripple by using
a step-up DC-DC converter followed by a linear regula-
tor. This architecture permits a physically smaller induc-
tor than those used in competing SEPIC and flyback
topologies. This device features low quiescent current
(67µA typical). A logic-controlled shutdown mode fur-
ther reduces quiescent current to 0.4µA typical.
The MAX1729 features an input that dynamically
adjusts the output voltage to control display color or
contrast. It offers two feedback modes: internal and
external. Internal feedback mode allows output volt-
ages between 2.5V and 16V, and is specifically
designed to hold temperature drift to ±11ppm/°C.
External feedback mode allows the MAX1729 output
voltage range to be tailored for various displays.
An on-chip temperature sensor with a positive tempera-
ture coefficient provides compensation for LCD/ECB
display temperature characteristics. In internal feed-
back mode, the buffered temperature sensor output is
read and used to adjust the output voltage via a digital
control signal. External feedback mode features an
additional compensation method in which the tempera-
ture output is summed directly into the feedback net-
work to provide first-order negative temperature
compensation of the output voltage. The MAX1729 is
available in the space-saving 10-pin µMAX package.
