Low-Power Triple-Output TFT LCD DC-DC
Converter
General Description
The MAX1779 triple-output DC-DC converter provides
highly efficient regulated voltages required by small
active matrix, thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal dis-
plays (LCDs). One high-power DC-DC converter and
two low-power charge pumps convert the +2.7V to
+5.5V input supply voltage into three independent out-
put voltages.
The primary high-power DC-DC converter generates a
boosted output voltage (V
MAIN
) up to 13V that is regu-
lated within ±1%. The low-power BiCMOS control cir-
cuitry and the low on-resistance (1Ω) of the integrated
power MOSFET allows efficiency up to 91%. The
250kHz current-mode pulse-width modulation (PWM)
architecture provides fast transient response and
allows the use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic
capacitors.
The dual charge pumps independently regulate one
positive output (V
POS
) and one negative output (V
NEG
).
These low-power outputs use external diode and
capacitor stages (as many stages as required) to regu-
late output voltages up to +40V and down to -40V. A
proprietary regulation algorithm minimizes output rip-
ple, as well as capacitor sizes for both charge pumps.
The MAX1779 is available in the ultra-thin TSSOP pack-
age (1.1mm max height).

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.
