General Description
The MAX8727 is a high-performance step-up DC-DC
converter that provides a regulated supply voltage for
active-matrix thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal dis-
plays (LCDs). The MAX8727 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 24V from an input voltage
between 2.6V and 5.5V. Soft-start slowly ramps the input
current and is programmed with an external capacitor.
The MAX8727 is available in a 10-pin thin DFN package.
