    General DescriptionThe MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712/MAX8761 offer com-plete linear-regulator power-supply solutions for thin-filmtransistor (TFT) liquid-crystal-display (LCD) panels usedin LCD monitors and LCD TVs. All four devices include ahigh-performance AVDD linear regulator, a positive

    charge-pump regulator, a negative charge-pump regula-tor, and built-in power-up sequence control. TheMAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8761 also include a high-cur-rent operational amplifier. Additionally, the MAX8710/MAX8761 provide logic-controlled high-voltage switchesto control the positive charge-pump output.

    The linear regulator directly steps down the input voltageto generate the supply voltage for the source-driver ICs(AVDD ). The two built-in charge-pump regulatorsare used to generate the TFT gate-on and gate-off sup-

    plies. The high-current operational amplifier is typicallyused to drive the LCD backplane (VCOM) and featureshigh output current (150mA), fast slew rate (12V/s), andwide bandwidth (12MHz). Its rail-to-rail inputs and outputmaximize flexibility.

    The MAX8710/MAX8761 are available in a 24-pin thinQFN package, the MAX8711 is available in a 16-pin thinQFN package, and the MAX8712 is available in a 12-pinthin QFN package. All three packages are 4mm x 4mmwith a maximum thickness of 0.8mm for ultra-thin LCD

    panel design. The MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712 oper-ate over the -40C to +100C temperature range and theMAX8761 operates over the -40C to +85C range.

    The linear regulator is enabled whenever REF is in regula-tion and SHDN is logic high. Each time it is enabled, thelinear regulator goes through a soft-start routine by ramp-ing up its internal reference voltage from 0 to 2.5V in 128steps. The soft-start period is 2.73ms (typ), and FBL faultdetection is disabled during this period. This soft-startfeature effectively limits the inrush current during startup.

    The linear-regulator current-limit circuitry monitors thecurrent flowing through the internal pass transistor. Theinternal current limit is approximately 800mA (1.1A forthe MAX8761). The linear-regulator output declines whenit is not able to supply the load current. If the FBL voltagedrops below 0.75V, the current limit folds back toapproximately 180mA (250mA for the MAX8761).

    The MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712/MAX8761 monitor theFBL voltage for undervoltage conditions. If VFBL is contin-uously below 2V (typ) for approximately 44ms, the devicelatches off. The foldback current-limit circuit, in conjunc-tion with the output undervoltage fault latch and thermal-overload protection, protects the output load and theinternal pass transistor against short circuits or overloads.

    Positive Charge-Pump RegulatorThe positive charge-pump regulator is typically used togenerate the positive supply rail for the TFT LCD gate-dri-

    ver ICs. The output voltage is set with an external resistivevoltage-divider from its output to GND with the midpointconnected to FBP. The number of charge-pump stagesand the setting of the feedback divider determine the out-put voltage of the positive charge-pump regulator. Thecharge-pump driver includes a high-side p-channelMOSFET (P1) and a low-side n-channel MOSFET (N1) to

    control the power transfer as shown in Figure 5. TheMOSFETs switch at a constant frequency of 1.5MHz.

    During the first half-cycle, N1 turns on and allows VINPUT(VSUPCP, MAX8710/MAX8761 or VOUTL, MAX8711/MAX8712) to charge up the flying capacitor CX(POS)through diode D1. The amount of charge transferredfrom VINPUT to CX(POS) is determined by the on-resis-tance of N1, which varies according to the output of thefeedback error amplifier. The error amplifier comparesthe feedback signal (FBP) with a 2.5V internal reference

    and amplifies the difference. If the feedback signal isbelow the reference, the error-amplifier output increasesthe supply voltage of N1s gate driver, lowering the on-resistance. Similarly, if the feedback signal is above thereference, the error-amplifier output reduces the driversupply voltage, increasing the on-resistance. During thesecond half-cycle, N1 turns off and P1 turns on, levelshifting CX(POS) by VINPUT volts. This connects CX(POS)

    61

    Low-Cost, Linear-Regulator

    LCD Panel Power Suppliesin parallel with the reservoir capacitor COUT(POS). If thevoltage across COUT(POS) plus a diode drop (VPOS +VDIODE) is smaller than the level-shifted flying-capacitorvoltage (VCX(POS) + VINPUT), charge flows from CX(POS)to COUT(POS) until diode D2 turns off.

    The positive charge-pump regulators startup can bedelayed by connecting an external capacitor from DLP

    to GND. An internal constant current source beginscharging the DLP capacitor when SHDN is logic highand REF reaches regulation. When the DLP voltageexceeds VREF/ 2, the positive charge-pump regulatoris enabled. Each time it is enabled, the positive charge-pump regulator goes through a soft-start routine byramping up its internal reference voltage from 0 to 2.5Vin 128 steps. The soft-start period is 2.73ms (typ), andFBP fault detection is disabled during this period. Thesoft-start feature effectively limits the inrush current dur-

    ing startup. The MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712/MAX8761 also monitor the FBP voltage for undervolt-age conditions. If VFBP is continuously below 2V (typ)for approximately 44ms, the device latches off.

    Negative Charge-Pump RegulatorThe negative charge-pump regulator is typically used togenerate the negative supply rail for the TFT LCD gate-driver ICs. The output voltage is set with an external resis-tive voltage-divider from its output to REF with the mid-

    point connected to FBN. The number of charge-pumpstages and the setting of the feedback divider determinethe output of the negative charge-pump regulator. Thecharge-pump driver includes a high-side p-channelMOSFET (P2) and a low-side n-channel MOSFET (N2) tocontrol the power transfer as shown in Figure 5. TheMOSFETs switch a constant frequency of 1.5MHz.

    During the first half-cycle, P2 turns on and allowsVINPUT to charge up the flying capacitor CX(NEG)through diode D3. During the second half-cycle, P2 turns

    off and N2 turns on, level shifting CX(NEG) by VINPUTvolts. This connects CX(NEG) in parallel with reservoircapacitor COUT(NEG). If the voltage across COUT(NEG)minus a diode drop is greater than the voltage acrossCX(NEG), charge flows from COUT(NEG) to CX(NEG) untildiode D4 turns off. The amount of charge transferred tothe output is controlled by the on-resistance of N2, which

    the error-amplifier output reduces the driver supplyvoltage, increasing the on-resistance.

    The negative charge-pump regulator is enabled whenSHDN is logic high and REF reaches regulation. Eachtime it is enabled, the negative charge-pump regulatorgoes through a soft-start routine by ramping down itsinternal reference voltage from 5V to 250mV in 128

    steps. The soft-start period is 2.73ms (typ), and FBNfault detection is disabled during this period. The soft-start feature effectively limits the inrush current duringstartup. The MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712/MAX8761also monitor the FBN voltage for undervoltage condi-tions. If VFBN is continuously above 700mV (typ) forapproximately 44ms, the device latches off.

    Operational Amplifier(MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8761)

    The MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8761s operational ampli-fier features high output current (150mA), fast slew rate(7.5V/s), and wide bandwidth (12MHz). The opera-tional amplifier is enabled when REF is in regulationand SHDN is logic high. The output of the amplifier(OUTB) is internally pulled to ground through a 1kresistor in shutdown.

    The amplifier is typically used to drive the backplane(VCOM) of TFT LCD panels. The LCD backplaneconsists of a distributed series capacitance and resis-

    tance, a load that can be easily driven by this opera-tional amplifier. However, if the operational amplifier isused in an application with a pure capacitive load,steps must be taken to ensure stable operation. As theoperational amplifiers capacitive load increases, theamplifiers bandwidth decreases, and its gain peakingincreases. To ensure stable operation, a 5 to 50resistor can be placed between OUTB and the capaci-tive load to reduce gain peaking.

    The operational amplifier limits short-circuit current toapproximately 150mA if the output is directly shortedto SUPB or to GND. If the short-circuit conditionpersists, the junction temperature of the IC rises until ittrips the ICs thermal-overload protection.

    Low-Cost, Linear-Regulator

    LCD Panel Power SuppliesPower-Up Sequence and Shutdown ControlWhen the MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712/MAX8761 arepowered up, REF rises with the voltage on IN. After REFreaches regulation and if SHDN is logic high, the linearregulator, operational amplifier, and negative charge-pump regulator are enabled and begin their respectivesoft-start routines. After the soft-start routines are com-

    pleted, the fault-protection circuits for the linear regulatorand the negative charge-pump regulator are activated.

    When the linear regulator is enabled, the positivecharge-pump-regulator delay block is enabled. Aninternal current source starts charging the DLP capaci-tor. The voltage on DLP linearly rises because of theconstant charging current. When VDLP goes aboveVREF/ 2, the switch control block is enabled, and thepositive charge-pump regulator begins its soft-start.After the positive charge-pump regulators soft-start is

    completed, the fault protection of the positive charge-pump regulator is also enabled.

    The MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712/MAX8761 enter intoshutdown when SHDN is pulled low or REF falls below4.5V. In shutdown, OUTL and OUTB are internallypulled to ground with 1k resistors, FBN and FBP areinternally pulled to ground with 10 resistors, and DLPis pulled to GND through a 10 resistor, dischargingCDLP . In the MAX8710 only, GON is pulled to GNDthrough a 1k

    resistor. REF remains on in shutdown.

    Pulling SHDN high when REF is above 4.5V reactivatesthe IC. Output fault protection and thermal-overloadprotection can also turn off the ICs outputs. See therespective sections for details.

    Output Fault ProtectionDuring steady-state operation, if the output of the linearregulator or any of the charge-pump regulator outputsdoes not exceed its respective fault-detection thresh-old, the MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712/MAX8761 acti-

    vate an internal fault timer. If any condition or thecombination of conditions indicates a continuous fault forthe fault-timer duration (44ms typ), the MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712/MAX8761 set the fault latch, shuttingdown all the outputs except the reference. Once the faultcondition is removed, cycle the input voltage or toggleSHDN to clear the fault latch and reactivate the device.

    Thermal-Overload ProtectionThe thermal-overload protection prevents excessivepower dissipation from overheating the IC. When thejunction temperature exceeds +160C, a thermal sensorimmediately activates the fault protection, which shutsdown all the outputs except the reference, allowing thedevice to cool down. Once the device cools down by

    approximately 15C, the IC restarts automatically.Switch Control (MAX8710/MAX8761)

    The MAX8710/MAX8761s' switch-control block (Figures6 and 7) consists of a high-voltage p-channel MOSFETQ1 between SRC and GON, and a common-source-con-nected p-channel MOSFET pair Q2 between GON andDRN. The MAX8710 switch control block is enabledwhen VDLP goes above VREF/ 2 and for MAX8761 VDLPhas no control on switch control block. Both theMAX8710 and MAX8761 have two different modes ofoperation.

    Activate the first mode by connecting MODE to REF.When CTL is logic high, Q1 turns on and Q2 turns off,connecting GON to SRC. When CTL is logic low, Q1turns off and Q2 turns on, connecting GON to DRN.GON can then be discharged through a resistor con-nected between DRN and GND or OUTL. Q2 turns offand stops discharging GON when VGON reaches 10times the voltage on THR.

    When VMODE is less than 0.9 x VREF, the switch-controlblock works in the second mode. The rising edge of VCTLturns on Q1 and turns off Q2, connecting GON to SRC.An internal n-channel MOSFET Q5 between MODE andGND is also turned on to discharge an external capacitorbetween MODE and GND. The falling edge of VCTL turnsoff Q5, and an internal 50A current source starts charg-ing the MODE capacitor. Once VMODE exceeds 0.5 xVREF, the switch-control block turns off Q1 and turns onQ2, connecting GON to DRN. GON can then be dis-

    charged through a resistor connected between DRN andGND or OUTL. Q2 turns off and stops discharging GONwhen VGON reaches 10 times the voltage on THR.

    LCD Panel Power SuppliesDesign Procedure

    Linear Regulator

    Output-Voltage SelectionAdjust the linear-regulator output voltage by connectinga resistive voltage-divider from the linear-regulator out-put AVDD to GND with the center tap connected to FBL

    (Figure 1). Select the lower resistor of divider R2 in the10k to 50k range. Calculate upper resistor R1 withthe following equation:

    where VFBL = 2.5V (typ) is the regulation point of thelinear regulator.

    Input-Capacitor SelectionThe linear regulators output stage consists of a pnp passtransistor. Rapid movements of the input voltage must beavoided since the movement can be coupled into thebase of the transistor through the base-to-emitter junctioncapacitance. The input capacitor reduces the currentpeaks drawn from the input supply and slows down theinput voltage movement. One 10F ceramic capacitor isused in the Typical Operating Circuits(Figures 1, 2, and3) because of the high source impedance seen in typical

    lab setups. Actual applications usually have much lowersource impedance, since the linear regulator typicallyruns directly from the output of another regulated supplyand can operate with less input capacitance.

    Output-Capacitor SelectionThe output capacitor and its equivalent series resistance(ESR) affect the linear regulators stability and transientresponse. The MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712 can deliverat least 300mA continuously and are stable with a 4.7F

    output capacitor. The MAX8761 can deliver at least500mA of output current and is stable with a 10F outputcapacitor.

    The typical load on the linear regulator for source-driverapplications is a large pulsed load, with a peak currentof approximately 1A and pulse width of approximately2s. The shape of the pulse is close to a triangle, so it

    where IPULSE is the height of the pulse load, and tPULSEis the pulse width. Higher capacitance and lower ESRresult in less voltage dip. The ESR dip can be ignoredwhen using ceramic output capacitors. Calculate theminimum required capacitance for the maximum alloweddip using:

    The above equations are worst case and assume thatthe linear regulator does not react to correct the outputvoltage during the load pulse. In fact, the regulator isfast enough to partially correct the output voltage, sothe actual dip may be smaller, or a smaller capacitormay be acceptable. For the typical load pulsedescribed above, assuming the voltage dip must belimited to 150mV, the minimum output capacitor is:

    Because the regulator is able to limit the dip some-what, the circuit of Figure 1 uses a 4.7F/10F(MAX8710/MAX8761) output capacitor. The voltagerating and temperature characteristics of the outputcapacitor must also be considered.

    Feed-Forward CompensationThe output capacitance and equivalent load resistance

    determine the dominant pole. An internal parasiticcapacitance of the regulator creates a second pole.This pole typically occurs at 100kHz, but can varybetween 60kHz and 140kHz depending on the processvariation. Since the pole occurs after the loop gaincrossover, it does not affect the loop stability. However,canceling this pole with an additional zero can improve

    where R1 is the upper resistor of the feedback dividerand fu is the unity gain frequency. The unity gain fre-quency (fu) for the MAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712 is

    approximately 80kHz; for MAX8761, fu is approximately160kHz. The value of R1 was calculated in the Output-Voltage Selection section to set VOUTL. Use the valuefor unity gain frequency (fu), the ratio between VOUTLand VFBL, and R1 to calculate the value of C1.

    Charge-Pump Regulators

    Number of Charge-Pump StagesFor highest efficiency, always choose the lowest num-ber of charge-pump stages that meets the output

    requirement.The number of positive charge-pump stages is given by:

    where nPOS is the number of positive charge-pumpstages, VP is the positive charge-pump regulator output,VINPUT is the supply voltage for the charge-pump regula-tors (V

    SUPCP, MAX8710/MAX8761 or V

    OUTL, MAX8711/

    MAX8712), VDIODE is the forward-voltage drop of thecharge-pump diode, and VSWITCH is the voltage drop ofthe internal switches. Use VSWITCH = 0.3V.

    The number of negative charge-pump stages is given by:

    where nNEG is the number of negative charge-pump

    stages and VGOFF is the negative charge-pump regula-tor output.

    The above equations are derived based on theassumption that the first stage of the positive chargepump is connected to VMAIN and the first stage of thenegative charge pump is connected to ground.Sometimes fractional stages are more desirable for bet

    Output-Voltage SelectionAdjust the positive charge-pump-regulator output volt-age by connecting a resistive voltage-divider from theregulator output VP to GND with the center tap connect-ed to FBP (Figure 1). Select the lower resistor of dividerR4 in the range of 10k to 50k. Calculate upper resistorR3 with the following equation:

    where VFBP = 2.5V (typ) is the regulation point of thepositive charge-pump regulator.

    Adjust the negative charge-pump-regulator output volt-age by connecting a resistive voltage-divider from thenegative charge-pump output VGOFF to REF with thecenter tap connected to FBN (Figure 1). Select R6 inthe 20k to 100k range. Calculate R5 with the follow-ing equation:

    where VREF = 5V and VFBN = 250mV is the regulationpoint of the negative charge-pump regulator.

    Flying CapacitorIncreasing the flying-capacitor (CX) value lowers theeffective source impedance and increases the output-current capability of the charge pump. Increasing thecapacitance indefinitely has a negligible effect on out-put-current capability because the internal switch resis-tance and the diode impedance place a lower limit onthe source impedance. A 0.1F ceramic capacitorworks well in most low-current applications. The flyingcapacitors voltage rating must exceed the following:

    VCX > n x VINPUTwhere n is the stage number in which the flying capaci-tor is used, and VINPUT is the supply voltage for thecharge-pump regulators (VSUPCP, MAX8710/MAX8761or VOUTL, MAX8711/MAX8712).

    LCD Panel Power SuppliesCharge-Pump Output Capacitor

    Increasing the output capacitance or decreasing theESR reduces the output ripple voltage and the peak-to-peak transient voltage. With ceramic capacitors, theoutput voltage ripple is dominated by the capacitancevalue. Use the following equation to approximate therequired capacitor value:

    where COUT_CP is the output capacitor of the chargepump, ILOAD_CP is the load current of the chargepump, and VRIPPLE_CP is the desired peak-to-peakvalue of the output ripple.

    Charge-Pump Rectifier Diode

    Use low-cost silicon switching diodes with a current rat-ing equal to or greater than two times the averagecharge-pump input current. If it helps avoid an extrastage, some or all of the diodes can be replaced withSchottky diodes with an equivalent current rating.

    Applications Information

    External Transistor for Higher Currentor Power Dissipation

    The load current and the voltage difference between

    the input and output determine the linear regulatorspower dissipation as shown in the following equation:

    PDISSIPATION = (VINL - VOUTL) x IOUTL

    For some applications, the input voltage to the linearregulator is from a 19V adapter. To make a 10V output,the voltage across the pass transistor is 9V. In this case,the regulators power dissipation may exceed the dissi-pation limit that the package can handle. In some otherapplications, the load current may be much higher than

    the regulators guaranteed 300mA output current for theMAX8710/MAX8711/MAX8712 and 500mA for theMAX8761.

    The solution for such applications is to connect an exter-nal pnp transistor with the internal pnp transistor in aDarlington configuration as shown in Figure 8. Theexternal pass transistor must be able to handle most of

    LCD Panel Power SuppliesPC Board Layout Guidelines

    Careful PC board layout is important for proper opera-tion. Use the following guidelines for good PC boardlayout:

    1) Create a power ground island consisting of the lin-ear-regulator input and output-capacitor groundconnections, the GND pin, and the capacitorground connections for the charge-pump regula-tors. Connect all these together with short, widetraces or a small ground plane. Maximizing thewidth of the power ground traces improves efficien-cy. Create an analog ground island consisting of allthe feedback-divider ground connections, the oper-ational-amplifier divider ground connection, the REFcapacitor ground connection, the MODE capacitorground connection, the DLP capacitor ground con-nection, and the devices exposed backside pad.Connect the analog ground island and the powerground island by connecting the GND pin directly tothe exposed backside pad. Make no other connec-tions between these separate ground islands.

    2) Place all feedback voltage-divider resistors as closeto their respective feedback pins as possible. Thedividers center trace should be kept short. Placingthe resistors far away causes their FB traces tobecome antennas that can pick up noise from the

    switching nodes of the charge pumps. Avoid runningany feedback trace near these switching nodes.

    3) Place IN, INL, SUPB, SUPCP, and REF pin bypasscapacitors close to the IC. The ground connectionof the IN bypass capacitor should be connecteddirectly to the GND pin with a wide trace.

    4) Minimize the length and maximize the width of thetraces between the output capacitors and the loadfor best transient responses.

    5) Minimize the size of the switching nodes (DRVP andDRVN). Keep the switching nodes away from feed-back nodes (FBL, FBP, and FBN) and the analogground. Use DC traces as a shield if necessary.

    Refer to the MAX8710 evaluation kit for an example ofproper board layout.
