MAX16923
Automotive 4-Output Display Power Solution
with Watchdog
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX16923 is a 4-channel power-management IC de-
signed to accommodate the main rails used in modern
automotive TFT displays. The MAX16923 and the
MAX20069 TFT power supply and LED backlight driver
combine to provide a two-chip solution to all automotive
display power supply requirements.
● High Integration
• Complete Display Power Solution from Automotive
Battery
• One High-Voltage 2.1A Buck Converter (5V or
3.3V)
• One High-Voltage 100mA Low-I Linear Regulator
Q
(3.3V)
The MAX16923 integrates a high-voltage buck converter
that transforms battery voltages into a 5V or 3.3V interme-
diate rail. In addition, a high-voltage, always-on, low qui-
escent current linear regulator supplies power at 3.3V.
• One Low-Voltage 1.6A Buck Converter (3.3V, 1.8V,
1.2V, or 1.1V)
• One Low-Voltage Linear Regulator (3.3V, 1.8V,
1.5V, or 1.0V)
The low-voltage section consists of a fully-integrated DC/
DC converter and an LDO running off the intermediate rail.
Section output power is available in several low-voltage
combinations (see the Ordering Information table). In ad-
dition, an integrated watchdog timer guards against run-
away code.
• MAX16923GTPB: 75mA
• MAX16923GTPC/MAX16923GTPE: 175mA
• All other variants: 180mA
• Power-Good Outputs
● Integrated Watchdog Timer
● Robust and Low EMI
A single START control pin initiates the start-up sequence,
thereby simplifying device control. The MAX16923's ex-
ternal pMOSFET control block allows battery voltage to
be switched to a downstream device, such as a backlight
boost converter.
● • Programmable Switching Frequency
• Internal Spread Spectrum Oscillator
• Slew-Rate Controlled Switching
• Thermal Shutdown Protection
● Compact TQFN20 4mm x 4mm Package
The MAX16923 is available in a TQFN package and oper-
ates in the -40°C to 105°C temperature range.
Ordering Information appears at end of datasheet.
