Internal-Switch Boost Regulator with Integrated Scan
Driver, VCOM Calibrator, and Op Amp for TFT LCDs
General Description
The MAX17100 includes a high-voltage step-up regula-
tor, three high-performance operational amplifiers, two
linear regulators, two high-voltage switch control blocks
for gate-driver supply modulation, a digital VCOM cali-
brator, and six independent scan drivers.
The DC-DC converter is a 1.2MHz current-mode step-
up regulator with a built-in power MOSFET and pro-
vides the regulated supply voltage for the panel source
driver ICs. The built-in power MOSFET allows output
voltages to be as high as 18V from inputs of 2.5V to 6V.
A built-in 7-bit digital soft-start function limits inrush cur-
rents during startup. The step-up regulator provides
fast transient response to pulsed loads while producing
efficiencies over 87%.
Three operational amplifiers, typically used as the
gamma correction divider string, are configured as
unity-gain buffers and feature high output short-circuit
current (200mA), fast slew rate (45V/µs), and wide
bandwidth (20MHz). Their rail-to-rail inputs and outputs
maximize application flexibility.
Two linear regulators provide regulated gate-on and
gate-off supplies for TFT panel. The two high-voltage
switch control blocks modulate the shape of the gate-
on supply with adjustable startup delay.
One operational amplifier is designed to drive the LCD
backplane (VCOM). It features high short-circuit current
of 200mA. The programmable VCOM calibrator adjusts
the VCOM output-voltage level through serial interface
by sinking a programmable current from the VCOM
resistor-divider. The calibrator includes nonvolatile
memory cells that store the desired VCOM voltage level.
The six independent high-voltage level-shifting scan
drivers are designed to drive the TFT panel gate lines.
The outputs swing from +35V (maximum) to -15V (mini-
mum) and can swiftly drive capacitive loads.
The MAX17100 is available in a lead-free, 48-pin, thin
QFN package with 0.4mm lead spacing. The package
is a 6mm x 6mm square with a maximum thickness of
0.8mm for ultra-thin LCD panel design.
