Step-Up Regulator, Internal Charge Pumps, Switch
Control, and Operational Amplifier for TFT LCDs
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
110mΩ (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.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
