Complete Bias and White LED Power Supplies for Small TFT Displays
General Description
The MAX1578/MAX1579 provide four regulated outputs to meet all the voltage requirements for small activematrix 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 converter for driving up to 8 series white LEDs for backlighting. 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 needed. A high-efficiency, fractional (1.
