MAX1516A/MAX1517A/ MAX1518A
EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
TFT-LCD DC-DC Converters with Operational
Amplifiers
General Description
The MAX1516A/MAX1517A/MAX1518A include a highperformance step-up regulator, two linear-regulator controllers, and high-current operational
amplifiers for activematrix thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal displays (LCDs).
Also included is a logic-controlled, high-
voltage switch with adjustable delay.
The step-up DC-DC converter provides the regulated supply
voltage for the panel source driver ICs.
The converter is a high-frequency (1.
2MHz) current-mode regulator with an integrated 14V n-channel
MOSFET that allows the use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic capa...
