MAX8740ETB+T

General Description
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 current-
mode, 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 pro-
vides fast transient response to pulsed loads. A com-
pensation 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.

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.
