TFT LCD DC-to-DC Converter with
Operational Amplifiers
General Description
Features
The MAX1542/MAX1543 include a high-performance
boost regulator and two high-current operational ampli-
fiers for active matrix, thin-film transistor (TFT), liquid-
crystal displays (LCDs). Also included is a logic-
controlled, high-voltage switch with adjustable delay.
The MAX1543 includes an additional high-voltage load
switch and features pin-selectable boost regulator
switching frequency.
o Ultra-High-Performance Step-Up Regulator
Fast Transient Response to Pulsed Load Using
Current-Mode Control Architecture
High-Accuracy Output Voltage (1.3%)
Built-In 14V, 1.2A, 0.2Ω N-Channel Power
MOSFET with Lossless Current-Sensing
High Efficiency (85%)
8-Step Current-Controlled Digital Soft-Start
The step-up DC-to-DC converter is a high-frequency
640kHz (MAX1543)/1.2MHz (MAX1542/MAX1543) cur-
rent-mode regulator with a built-in power MOSFET that
allows the use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic
capacitors. It provides fast transient response to pulsed
loads while producing efficiencies over 85%.
o Two High-Performance Operational Amplifiers
150mA Output Short-Circuit Current
7.5V/µs Slew Rate
12MHz -3dB Bandwidth
Rail-to-Rail Inputs/Outputs
Unity Gain Stable
The two easy-to-use, high-performance operational
