TFT LCD DC-to-DC Converter with Operational Amplifiers
General DescriptionThe MAX1542/MAX1543 include a high-performance
boost regulator and two high-current operational ampli-
fiers for active matrix, thin-film transistor (TFT), liquid-
crystal displays (LCDs). Also included is a logic-
controlled, high-voltage switch with adjustable delay.
The MAX1543 includes an additional high-voltage load
switch and features pin-selectable boost regulator
switching frequency.
The step-up DC-to-DC converter is a high-frequency
640kHz (MAX1543)/1.2MHz (MAX1542/MAX1543) cur-
rent-mode regulator with a built-in power MOSFET that
allows the use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic
capacitors. It provides fast transient response to pulsed
loads while producing efficiencies over 85%.
The two easy-to-use, high-performance operational
amplifiers can drive the LCD backplane (VCOM) and/or
the gamma correction divider string. The devices fea-
ture high short-circuit current (150mA), fast slew rate
(7.5V/µs), wide bandwidth (12MHz), and Rail-to-Rail®
inputs and outputs.
The MAX1542/MAX1543 are available in 20-pin thin
QFN packages with a maximum thickness of 0.8mm for
ultra-thin LCD panel design.

PIN
MAX1542MAX1543NAMEFUNCTION14INSupply Voltage. IN can range from 2.6V to 5.5V.15FREQ
Oscillator Frequency Select Input. Pull FREQ low or leave it unconnected for 640kHz
operation. Connect FREQ high for 1.2MHz operation. This input has a 5µA pulldown
current.16FB
Step-Up Converter Feedback Input. Regulates to 1.24V (nominal). Connect a resistor-
divider from the output (VMAIN) to FB to analog ground (AGND). Place the resistor-divider
within 5mm of FB.17COMPStep-Up Regulator Error Amplifier Compensation Point. Connect a series RC from COMP
to AGND. See the Loop Compensation section for component selection guidelines.18DEL
High-Voltage Switch Delay Input. Connect a capacitor from DEL to AGND to set the high-
voltage switch startup delay. A 5µA current source charges CDEL.
For the MAX1542, the high-voltage switch between SRC and COM is disabled until VDEL
exceeds 1.24V. Following the delay period, CTL controls the state of the high-voltage
switch.
For the MAX1543, the switches between SRC, COM, and DRN are disabled and a 1kΩ
pulldown between COM and PGND is enabled until VDEL exceeds 1.24V. Following the
delay period, the 1kΩ pulldown is released and CTL controls the state of the high-voltage
switches (see the Delay Control Circuit section).19CTL
High-Voltage Switch Control Input. When CTL is high, the high-voltage switch between
COM and SRC is on and the high-voltage switches between COM and DRN (MAX1543)
are off. When CTL is low, the high-voltage switch between COM and SRC is off and the
high-voltage switches between COM and DRN (MAX1543) are on. CTL is inhibited by the
undervoltage lockout and when VDEL is less than 1.24V.20DRNSwitch Input. Drain of the internal high-voltage back-to-back P-channel MOSFETs
connected to COM.

erate an +8V source driver supply and approximately
+22V and -7V gate driver supplies for TFT displays. The
input voltage is from +2.6V to +5.5V. Table 1 lists rec-
ommended components and Table 2 lists contact infor-
mation for component suppliers.
Detailed DescriptionThe MAX1542/MAX1543 include a high-performance
step-up regulator, two high-current operational ampli-
fiers, and startup timing and level-shifting functionality
useful for active matrix TFT LCDs. Figure 3 shows the
MAX1542/MAX1543 functional diagram.
Main Step-Up ConverterThe MAX1542/MAX1543 main step-up converter
switches at 1.2MHz or 640kHz (MAX1543 only) (see the
Oscillator Frequency(FREQ)section). The devices
employ a current-mode, fixed-frequency, pulse-width
modulation (PWM) architecture to maximize loop band-
width providing fast transient response to pulsed loads
found in source drivers for TFT LCD panels. The high-
switching frequency also allows the use of low-profile
inductors and capacitors to minimize the thickness of
LCD panel designs. The integrated high-efficiency
MOSFET and the IC’s built-in digital soft-start function
reduce the number of external components required
while controlling inrush current. The output voltage of
the main step-up converter (VMAIN) can be set from VIN
to 13V with an external resistive voltage-divider at FB.
