General Description

The MAX1578/MAX1579 provide four regulated outputs

to meet all the voltage requirements for small active-

matrix TFT-LCD displays in handheld devices where

minimum external components and high efficiency are

required. Each device consists of three advanced

charge pumps for LCD bias power and a step-up con-

verter for driving up to 8 series white LEDs for back-

lighting. The input voltage range is from 2.7V to 5.5V.

The charge pumps provide fixed +5V, +15V, and -10V

for the LCD bias circuits. No external diodes are need-

ed. A high-efficiency, fractional (1.5x/2x) charge pump

followed by a low-dropout linear regulator provides +5V

to power the source driver. Automatic mode changing

achieves the highest conversion efficiency. Two multi-

stage, high-voltage charge pumps generate +15V and

-10V to provide V

and V

OFF

, respectively. Utilizing a

unique clocking scheme and internal drivers, these

charge pumps eliminate parasitic charge-current glitch-

es and reduce maximum input current, resulting in low

electromagnetic emissions. The outputs are sequenced

during startup and shutdown. In shutdown, the outputs

are discharged to zero.

The high-efficiency inductor step-up converter drives

up to 8 white LEDs in series with a constant current to

provide backlighting. The series connection allows the

LED currents to be identical for uniform brightness and

minimizes the number of traces to the LEDs. The

MAX1578 regulates constant LED current over the

entire temperature range. The MAX1579 features a tem-

perature derating function to avoid overdriving the

white LEDs during high ambient temperatures, enabling

higher drive current below +42°C.

The MAX1578/MAX1579 are available in space-saving

24-lead 4mm x 4mm thin QFN packages.
