MAX1530/MAX1531
Multiple-Output Power-Supply
Controllers for LCD Monitors
General Description
The MAX1530/MAX1531 multiple-output power-supply
controllers generate all the supply rails for thin-film tran
sistor (TFT) liquid-crystal display (LCD) monitors. Both
devices include a high-efficiency, fixed-frequency, step-
down regulator. The low-cost, all N-channel, synchronous
topology enables operation with efficiency as high as 93%.
High-frequency operation allows the use of small induc-
tors and capacitors, resulting in a compact solution. The
MAX1530 includes three linear regulator controllers and
the MAX1531 includes five linear regulator controllers for
supplying logic and LCD bias voltages. A programmable
startup sequence enables easy control of the regulators.
The MAX1530/MAX1531 include soft-start functions to
limit inrush current during startup. An internal stepdown
converter current-limit function and a versatile overcurrent
shutdown protect the power supplies against fault condi-
tions. The MAX1530/MAX1531 use a currentmode control
architecture, providing fast load transient response and
easy compensation. An internal linear regulator provides
MOSFET gate drive and can be used to power small
external loads.
The MAX1530/MAX1531 can operate from inputs as
high as 28V and are well suited for LCD monitor and TV
applications running directly from AC/DC wall adapters.
Both devices are available in a small (5mm x 5mm), ultra-
thin (0.8mm), 32-pin QFN package and operate over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

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.
