Digitally Adjustable LCD Bias Supply
_______________General Description
The MAX749 generates negative LCD-bias contrast
voltages from 2V to 6V inputs. Full-scale output voltage
can be scaled to -100V or greater, and is digitally
adjustable in 64 equal steps by an internal digital-to-
analog converter (DAC). Only seven small surface-
mount components are required to build a complete
supply. The output voltage can also be adjusted using
a PWM signal or a potentiometer.
A unique current-limited control scheme reduces supply
current and maximizes efficiency, while a high switching
frequency (up to 500kHz) minimizes the size of external
components. Quiescent current is only 60µA max and is
reduced to under 15µA in shutdown mode. While shut
down, the MAX749 retains the voltage set point, simpli-
fying software control. The MAX749 drives either an
external P-channel MOSFET or a PNP transistor.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note 1: The device is in regulation when V
FB
= 0V (see Figures 3 - 6).
Note 2: These tests performed at V+ = 3.3V. Operation over supply range is guaranteed by supply rejection test of full-count current.
