I. Device Description
A. General
The MAX17120 includes three high-voltage, level-shifting scan drivers for TFT panel integrated gate logic. Each scan driver has two channels that
switch complementarily. The scan driver outputs swing from +40V to -30V and can swiftly drive capacitive loads. To save power, the scan driver's
complementary outputs share the charge of their capacitive load before they change states.
V. ........Quality Assurance Information
VI. .......Reliability Evaluation
IV. .......Die Information
The MAX17120 is available in a 32-pin, 5mm x 5mm, thin QFN package with a maximum thickness of 0.8mm for ultra-thin LCD panels.

VI. Reliability Evaluation
A. Accelerated Life Test
The results of the 135°C biased (static) life test are pending. Using these results, the Failure Rate ( ) is calculated as follows:
=
1
MTTF
=
1.83
(Chi square value for MTTF upper limit)
192 x 4340 x 48 x 2
(where 4340 = Temperature Acceleration factor assuming an activation energy of 0.8eV)
-9
= 22.9 x 10
= 22.9 F.I.T. (60% confidence level @ 25°C)
The following failure rate represents data collected from Maxim’s reliability monitor program. Maxim performs quarterly
1000 hour life test monitors on its processes. This data is published in the Product Reliability Report found at http://www.maxim-
ic.com/.
Current monitor data for the S4 Process results in a FIT Rate of 0.28 @ 25C and 4.85 @ 55C (0.8 eV, 60% UCL)
B. Moisture Resistance Tests
The industry standard 85°C/85%RH or HAST testing is monitored per device process once a quarter.
C. E.S.D. and Latch-Up Testing
The PF59 die type has been found to have all pins able to withstand a HBM transient pulse of:
HBM ESD: +/-2500V per JEDEC JESD22-A114
CDM ESD: +/-750V per JESD22-C101
MM ESD: +/-200V per JEDEC JESD22-A115
Latch-Up testing has shown that this device withstands a current of +/-100 mA, 1.5x VCCMax Overvoltage per JESD78.
