Triple-Output TFT LCD DC-DC Converter
General Description
The MAX1748 triple-output DC-DC converter in a low-
profile TSSOP package provides the regulated voltages
required by active matrix, thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid
crystal displays (LCDs). One high-power DC-DC con-
verter and two low-power charge pumps convert the
+3.3V to +5V input supply voltage into three independent
output 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 (0.35Ω) of the
integrated power MOSFET allows efficiency up to 93%.
The 1MHz current-mode 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 MAX1748 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.
