MAX1513/MAX1514
The MAX1513/MAX1514 provide complete power-sup-
ply solutions for active-matrix thin-film transistor (TFT)
liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). Both devices include a
high-performance step-up regulator controller, three lin-
ear-regulator controllers, and an adjustable delay block
for startup sequencing. The MAX1513 includes an
additional linear-regulator controller and a high-perfor-
mance buffer amplifier. The MAX1513/MAX1514 can
operate from 2.7V to 5.5V input supplies and provide
overload protection with timer delay latch on all the reg-
ulated outputs.
The step-up regulator controller drives an external N-
channel MOSFET to generate the regulated supply volt-
age for the panel source-driver ICs. Its current-mode
control architecture provides fast transient response to
pulsed loads. The high switching frequency (up to
1.5MHz) allows the use of ultra-small inductors and
ceramic capacitors while achieving efficiencies over 85%
using lossless current sensing. The internal soft-start lim-
its the input surge current during startup.
The gate-on and gate-off linear-regulator controllers of
the MAX1513/MAX1514 provide regulated TFT gate-on
and gate-off supplies. The gate-on supply is activated
after an adjustable delay following the step-up regulator.
The logic linear-regulator controller can be used to cre-
ate a low-voltage logic supply. The gamma linear-regula-
tor controller of the MAX1513 can be used to generate a
gamma-correction reference supply or another general-
purpose supply rail. The MAX1513’s high-performance
buffer amplifier can drive the LCD backplane (VCOM)
or the gamma-correction divider string.
The MAX1513/MAX1514 are available in 4mm
✕
4mm
20-pin thin QFN packages with a maximum thickness of
0.8mm, suitable for ultra-thin LCD panel design.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
