Multi-Output DC-DC Power Supply with
VCOM Amplifier and Temperature Sensor for
E-Paper Applications
General Description
The MAX17135 is a complete power-management IC for
E-paper displays that provides source- and gate-driver
power supplies, a high-speed VCOM amplifier, and a
temperature sensor.
The source-driver power supplies consist of a boost
converter and an inverting buck-boost converter that
generates +15V (up to +17V) and -15V (up to -17V),
respectively. Both source-driver power supplies can
deliver up to 200mA. The positive source-driver supply
regulation voltage (V
POS
) can be set either by using
an I
2
C interface or by connecting an external resistor-
divider. The negative source-driver supply voltage
(V
NEG
) is always tightly regulated to -V
POS
within
Q50mV.
The gate-driver power supplies consist of regulated
charge pumps that generate +22V (up to +40V) and
-20V (up to -40V) and can deliver up to 20mA each.
The IC features a VCOM amplifier output whose output
voltage is controlled by an internal 8-bit digital-to-analog
converter (DAC). The DAC is programmable through an
I
2
C interface and allows small-voltage-step sizes per
DAC step.
The IC includes a temperature sensor that provides
the ability to read the internal IC temperature and an
external panel temperature with the use of an external
temperature-sensing diode. Temperature output data is
supplied through I
2
C.
The device is available in a space-saving, 32-pin TQFN
package and is specified over the -40NC to +85NC
extended 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.
