Step-Up, Step-Down Regulator, Gate-On Charge Pump,
and Boost-Buck Regulator for TV TFT LCD Display
General Description
The MAX17122 multiple-output power-supply IC gener-
ates all the supply rails for thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-
crystal display (LCD) TV panels. It can operate from 8V
to 16.5V input voltages and is optimized for LCD TV
panel applications running directly from 12V regulated
supplies. It includes a 22V internal-switch step-down
regulator for digital logic, a 22V internal switch step-
up regulator to power the TFT source drivers, and a
temperature-compensated 36V internal-switch boost-
buck regulator that produces a negative output that can
vary according to the temperature sensed by an exter-
nal NTC thermistor. All three of these regulators feature
high-efficiency and fixed-frequency operation. High-
frequency operation allows the use of small inductors
and capacitors, resulting in a compact solution.
The MAX17122 includes a positive charge-pump linear
regulator controller that uses an external pnp bipolar
junction transistor (BJT) to typically form a regulated
charge-pump doubler to supply the LCD positive gate-
driver supply voltage. A negative gate-driver supply is
derived linearly between the boost-buck regulator’s out-
put and ground, using an external npn BJT connected to
ground and a small bypass capacitor.
Other features include an external-capacitor-timed,
open-drain, power-good output that monitors the step-
down regulator’s feedback and a simple untimed output
that monitors the positive charge-pump linear regulator’s
feedback. A high-voltage stress function is available for
the step-up regulator output. The GATE output directly
drives an external p-channel MOSFET to provide True
ShutdownK of the step-up output.
The MAX17122 is available in a 6mm x 6mm, 40-pin thin
QFN lead-free package and operates over the -40NC to
+85NC temperature range.
