General Description

The MAX1779 triple-output DC-DC converter provides
highly efficient regulated voltages required by small
active matrix, thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal dis-
plays (LCDs). One high-power DC-DC converter and
two low-power charge pumps convert the +2.7V to
+5.5V input supply voltage into three independent out-
put voltages.

The primary high-power DC-DC converter generates a
boosted output voltage (V

MAIN

) up to 13V that is regu-

lated within ±1%. The low-power BiCMOS control cir-
cuitry and the low on-resistance (1

Ω) of the integrated

power MOSFET allows efficiency up to 91%. The
250kHz current-mode pulse-width modulation (PWM)
architecture provides fast transient response and
allows the use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic
capacitors.

The dual charge pumps independently regulate one
positive output (V

POS

) and one negative output (V

NEG

).

These low-power outputs use external diode and
capacitor stages (as many stages as required) to regu-
late output voltages up to +40V and down to -40V. A
proprietary regulation algorithm minimizes output rip-
ple, as well as capacitor sizes for both charge pumps.

The MAX1779 is available in the ultra-thin TSSOP pack-
age (1.1mm max height).
