General Description
The MAX8784 generates supply rails for the thin-film
transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal display (LCD) panels in TVs
and monitors. It includes a step-up regulator, a regulated
positive and a negative charge-pump, three high-current
operational amplifiers, and Dual Mode™, logic-con-
trolled, high-voltage switch control block. HVS mode
automatically increases the output voltages of the boost
regulator and the positive charge-pump to stress test
display panels during production. The MAX8784 can
operate from input voltages of 4V to 5.5V and is opti-
mized for LCD TV panel and LCD monitor applications.
The step-up DC-DC regulator provides a regulated sup-
ply voltage for TFT source drivers. The step-up regulator
is a high-frequency (1.2MHz), high-efficiency, current-
mode regulator. The step-up regulator has a built-in
110m (typ) power MOSFET. The high-switching fre-
quency allows the use of ultra-small inductors and
ceramic capacitors. The current-mode architecture pro-
vides fast transient response and easy compensation.
The step-up regulator features output undervoltage pro-
tection, soft-start, internal current limit, and adjustable
output voltage by an external resistive divider.
The three operational amplifiers drive the LCD back-
plane and the gamma-correction-divider string. Each
operational amplifier has a fast slew rate (45V/µs), a
wide bandwidth (20MHz), and a high-output short-cir-
cuit current (200mA). Each op amp has rail-to-rail input
and rail-to-rail output operation.
The positive charge-pump regulator and the negative
charge-pump regulator provide regulated supply volt-
ages for the TFT gate drivers. The positive charge
pump is a two-stage charge pump, which requires no
external diodes. The output voltages of both charge
pumps are resistor adjustable. The logic-controlled
high-voltage switch allows the manipulation of the posi-
tive TFT gate-driver supply.
The MAX8784 is available in a small (5mm x 5mm), low-
profile (0.8mm), 40-pin TQFN package and operates
over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
