MAX17113

The MAX17113 multiple-output power-supply controller generates all the supply rails for thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal display (LCD) panels in TVs and monitors operating from a regulated 12V input. It includes a step-down and a step-up regulator, a positive and a negative charge pump, a Dual Mode™ logic-controlled high-voltage switch control block, and an adjustable-timing power-good output. The MAX17113 can operate from 8V to 16.5V input voltages and is optimized for LCD TV panel and LCD monitor applications running directly from 12V supplies.

The step-up and step-down regulators feature internal power MOSFETs and high-frequency operation allowing the use of small inductors and capacitors, resulting in a compact solution. Both switching regulators use fixed-frequency current-mode control architectures, providing fast load-transient response and easy compensation. A current-limit function for internal switches and output-fault shutdown protect the step-up and step-down power supplies against fault conditions. The MAX17113 provides soft-start functions to limit inrush current during startup. The MAX17113 provides adjustable power-up timing.

The positive and negative charge-pump regulators provide TFT gate-driver supply voltages. Both output voltages can be adjusted with external resistive voltage-dividers. The switch control block allows the manipulation of the positive TFT gate-driver voltage.

A series p-channel MOSFET is integrated to sequence power to AV_DD after the MAX17113 has proceeded through normal startup, and provides True Shutdown™.

The MAX17113 is available in a small (5mm x 5mm), low-profile (0.8mm), 40-pin thin QFN package and operates over a -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
