EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX8739
TFT, LCD, DC-DC Converter with
Operational Amplifiers
General Description
The MAX8739 includes a high-performance, step-up
regulator and two high-current operational amplifiers
for active-matrix thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal
displays (LCDs). The input supply voltage range of
the MAX8739 is from 1.8V to 5.5V. The device also
includes 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 con-
verter is a high-frequency (600kHz/1.2MHz) current-mode
regulator with an integrated 14V n-channel MOSFET
that allows the use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic
capacitors. It provides fast transient response to pulsed
loads while achieving efficiencies over 85%.
The two high-performance operational amplifiers are
designed to drive the LCD backplane (VCOM) and/or the
gamma-correction-divider string. The devices feature high
output current (±150mA), fast slew rate (7.5V/µs), wide
bandwidth (12MHz), and rail-to-rail inputs and outputs.
The MAX8739 is available in a 20-pin, 5mm x 5mm TQFN
package with a maximum thickness of 0.8mm for ultra-
thin LCD panels.

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.
