Triple-Output TFT LCD Power Supply
with Fault Protection
General Description
The MAX1889 provides the three regulated output volt-
ages required for active matrix, thin-film transistor liquid
crystal displays (TFT LCDs). It combines a high-perfor-
mance step-up regulator with two linear-regulator con-
trollers and multiple levels of protection circuitry for a
complete power-supply system.
The main DC-DC converter is a high-frequency
(500kHz/1MHz), current-mode step-up regulator with
an integrated N-channel power MOSFET that allows the
use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic capacitors.
With its high closed-loop bandwidth performance, the
MAX1889 provides fast transient response to pulsed
loads while operating with efficiencies over 85%. The
positive and negative linear-regulator controllers post-
regulate charge-pump outputs for TFT gate-on and
gate-off supplies.
The MAX1889 has a unique input switch control that
can replace the typical input fuse by disconnecting the
load from the input supply when a fault is detected.
The fault detector monitors all three regulated output
voltages and can monitor current from the input supply
as well. Additionally, the MAX1889 enters thermal shut-
down when its overtemperature threshold is reached.
The MAX1889 undervoltage lockout is set at 2.5V (max)
to allow the input supply to droop under pulsed load
conditions while avoiding any unexpected behavior
when its input voltage dips momentarily. Also, the built-
in soft-start and cycle-by-cycle current limiting prevent
input surge currents during power-up.
The MAX1889 is available in a 16-pin thin QFN pack-
age with a maximum thickness of 0.8mm for ultra-thin
LCD panel design.

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.

Note 1:
Quiescent current does not include switching losses.
Note 2:
FB regulation voltage is tested with no slope compensation ramp. Slope compensation needs to be included when selecting
resisitors for setting the output voltage (see
Main Step-Up Regulator

Output Voltage Selection
sections).
Note 3:
Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
Note 4:
Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.
