Triple-Output TFT LCD Power Supply  
with Fault Protection  
General Description  
Features  
The MAX1889 provides the three regulated output volt-  
ages required for active matrix, thin-film transistor liquid  
crystal displays (TFT LCDs). It combines a high-perfor-  
mance step-up regulator with two linear-regulator con-  
trollers and multiple levels of protection circuitry for a  
complete power-supply system.  
o High-Performance Step-Up Regulator  
Fast Transient Response  
Current-Mode Control Architecture  
Built-In High-Efficiency N-Channel Power  
MOSFET  
Current-Limit Comparator  
>85% Efficiency  
Selectable Switching Frequency  
(500kHz/1MHz)  
Internal Soft-Start  
The main DC-DC converter is a high-frequency  
(500kHz/1MHz), current-mode step-up regulator with  
an integrated N-channel power MOSFET that allows the  
use of ultra-small inductors and ceramic capacitors.  
With its high closed-loop bandwidth performance, the  
MAX1889 provides fast transient response to pulsed  
loads while operating with efficiencies over 85%. The  
positive and negative linear-regulator controllers post-  
regulate charge-pump outputs for TFT gate-on and  
gate-off supplies.  
o Positive Linear-Regulator Controller  
o Negative Linear-Regulator Controller  
o Triple-Level Protection Against Smoke or Fire  
Input Switch Replaces Input Fuse  
Output Overload Detection with Timer Latch  
Thermal Shutdown  
The MAX1889 has a unique input switch control that  
can replace the typical input fuse by disconnecting the  
load from the input supply when a fault is detected.  
The fault detector monitors all three regulated output  
voltages and can monitor current from the input supply  
as well. Additionally, the MAX1889 enters thermal shut-  
down when its overtemperature threshold is reached.  
o 2.7V to 5.5V Input Operating Range  
o Ultra-Small External Components  
o 1µA Shutdown Current (max)  
o 1mA Quiescent Current (max)  
o Ultra-Thin 16-Pin QFN Package  
(0.8mm Maximum Thickness)  
The MAX1889 undervoltage lockout is set at 2.5V (max)  
to allow the input supply to droop under pulsed load  
conditions while avoiding any unexpected behavior  
when its input voltage dips momentarily. Also, the built-  
in soft-start and cycle-by-cycle current limiting prevent  
input surge currents during power-up.

Note 1: Quiescent current does not include switching losses.  
Note 2: FB regulation voltage is tested with no slope compensation ramp. Slope compensation needs to be included when selecting  
resisitors for setting the output voltage (see Main Step-Up Regulator and Output Voltage Selection sections).  
Note 3: Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.  
Note 4: Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.

can be set from V to 13V with an external resistive volt-

of the main step-up converter and current-mode control  
provide fast transient response and allow the use of low-  
profile inductors and ceramic capacitors. The internal  
power MOSFET minimizes the external component count  
while achieving high efficiency by incorporating a loss-  
less current-sensing technology.

ply voltages of more than +30V and -15V. The positive  
and negative linear-regulator controllers postregulate  
the charge-pump supply voltages and allow users to  
program power-up sequencing as well.

The unique input switch control of the MAX1889 senses  
the current drawn from the input power supply by moni-  
toring the voltage drop across the input P-channel  
MOSFET and latches off if an overcurrent condition  
lasts for more than the fault timer period. In addition, all  
three outputs are monitored for fault conditions that last  
longer than the fault latch timer. If the junction tempera-  
ture of the IC exceeds +160°C, the device goes into a  
latched shutdown state.

Standard Application Circuit  
The standard application circuit (Figure 1) of the  
MAX1889 generates +9V, +20V, and -7V outputs for  
TFT LCD displays. The input voltage is from 2.7V to  
5.5V. Table 1 lists the recommended component  
options and Table 2 lists the component suppliers.  
Main Step-Up Regulator  
The main step-up regulator switches at 1MHz (or 500kHz)  
and employs a current-mode control architecture to  
maximize loop bandwidth to provide fast-transient  
response to pulsed loads found in source drivers for TFT  
LCD panels. Also, the high switching frequency allows  
the use of low-profile inductors and capacitors to  
minimize the thickness of LCD panel designs. The  
integrated high-efficiency MOSFET and the ICs built-in  
soft-start function reduce the number of external com-  
ponents required while controlling inrush current.

Triple-Output TFT LCD Power Supply  
with Fault Protection  
Depending on the input-to-output voltage ratio, the reg-  
ulator controls the output voltage and the power deliv-  
ered to the output by modulating the duty cycle (D) of  
the power MOSFET in each switching cycle. The duty  
cycle of the MOSFET is approximated by:  
inductor. The inductor current ramps up linearly, storing  
energy in a magnetic field. Once the sum of the feed-  
back voltage error-amplifier output, slope-compensa-  
tion, and current-feedback signals trip the multi-input  
PWM comparator, the MOSFET turns off, and the flip-  
flop resets. Since the inductor current is continuous, a  
transverse potential develops across the inductor that  
turns on the diode (D1). The voltage across the inductor  
becomes the difference between the output voltage and  
the input voltage. This discharge condition forces the  
current through the inductor to ramp back down, trans-  
ferring the energy to the output capacitor and the load.  
The MOSFET remains off for the rest of the clock cycle.

put (Figure 1). The regulator controller is designed to  
be stable with an output capacitor of 0.1µF or more.  
Positive Linear-Regulator Controller  
The positive linear regulator provides the positive high  
voltage for the TFT LCD gate drivers. The high voltage  
can be produced using a charge-pump circuit as shown  
in Figure 1. Use as many stages as necessary to obtain  
the required output voltage (see the Selecting the  
Number of Charge-Pump Stages section). The positive  
linear-regulator controller is an analog gain block with an  
open-drain N-channel output. It drives an external PNP  
pass transistor with a 3kbase-to-emitter resistor to  
post-regulate the charge-pump output (Figure 1). The  
regulator controller is designed to be stable with an out-  
put capacitor of 0.1µF or more.  
The negative linear regulator is enabled as soon as the  
main step-up regulator is enabled. To enable the regula-  
tor using an external control signal, apply the logic-control  
input through an open-drain output or an N-channel MOS-  
FET (Figure 1). Additional delay can be added with exter-  
nal circuitry (see the Applications Information section).  
Note that the voltage rating of the DRVN output is  
V
- 28V. If higher voltages are present, an external  
IN  
cascode PNP transistor should be used with the emitter  
connected to DRVN, the base to GND, and the collec-  
tor to the base of the NPN.  
To enable the regulator using an external control signal,  
apply the logic-control input in series with a signal  
diode (Figure 1). Additional delay can be added with  
external circuitry.  
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)  
The UVLO comparator of the MAX1889 compares the  
input voltage at the IN pin with the UVLO threshold (2.7V  
rising, 2.35V falling, typ) to ensure that the input voltage is  
high enough for reliable operation. The 350mV (typ) hys-  
teresis prevents supply transients from causing a restart.  
Once the input voltage exceeds the UVLO threshold, the  
controller enables the reference block. Once the refer-  
ence is above 1.05V, an internal 12µA current source  
pulls the GATE pin low and turns on an external P-chan-  
nel MOSFET switch (P1, Figure 1) that connects the input  
supply to the regulator. When the input voltage falls below  
the UVLO threshold, the controller sets the fault latch and  
pulls GATE high with an internal 100switch to turn off  
P1 quickly (Figure 4).  
Note that the voltage rating of the DRVP output is 28V.  
If higher voltages are present, an external cascode  
NPN transistor should be used with the emitter con-  
nected to DRVP, the base to V  
the base of the PNP.  
, and the collector to  
MAIN  
Negative Linear-Regulator Controller  
The negative linear regulator provides the negative volt-  
age required to supply gate drivers in TFT LCD panels.  
The negative voltage can be produced using a charge  
pump circuit as shown in Figure 1. Use as many stages  
as necessary to obtain the required output voltage (see  
the Selecting the Number of Charge-Pump Stages sec-  
tion). The negative linear-regulator controller is an ana-  
log gain block with an open-drain P-channel output. It  
drives an external NPN pass transistor with a 3kbase-  
to-emitter resistor to postregulate the charge-pump out-  
Reference Voltage (REF)  
The reference output is nominally 1.25V, and can  
source at least 50µA (see the Typical Operating  
Characteristics). Bypass REF with a 0.22µF ceramic  
capacitor connected between REF and GND.  
Oscillator Frequency (FREQ)  
The internal oscillator frequency is pin programmable.  
IN  
Connect FREQ to ground for 500kHz operation and to V  
IN  
for 1MHz operation. Note that the soft-start period scales  
with the oscillator frequency (see the Soft-Start section).  
GATE  
Shutdown (SHDN)  
A logic-low signal on the SHDN pin disables all device  
functions including the reference. When shut down, the  
supply current drops to 0.1µA (typ) to maximize battery  
life. The output capacitance, feedback resistors, and load  
current determine the rate at which each output voltage  
decays. A logic-high signal on the SHDN pin activates the  
MAX1889 (see the Power-Up Sequencing section). Do not  
leave the pin floating. If unused, connect SHDN to IN.  
Toggling SHDN or cycling IN clears the fault latch.

Input Overcurrent Protection  
The high-side overcurrent comparator of the MAX1889  
provides input overcurrent protection when it is used  
together with the external P-channel MOSFET switch P1  
(Figure 1). Connect resistive voltage-dividers from the  
source and drain of P1 to GND to set the overcurrent  
threshold. The center taps of the dividers are connected  
to the overcurrent comparator inputs (OCN and OCP)  
See the Setting the Input Overcurrent Threshold section  
for information on calculating resistor values. An overcur-  
rent event activates the fault-protection circuitry.  
Once SHDN is high, the MAX1889 enables the UVLO  
circuitry and compares the input voltage with the UVLO  
rising threshold (2.7V, typ). If the input voltage exceeds  
the UVLO rising threshold, the reference is enabled.  
When the reference voltage ramps up above 1.05V  
(typ), the MAX1889 enables the oscillator and turns on  
the external P-channel MOSFET P1 (Figure 1) by  
pulling GATE low. GATE is pulled down with a 12µA  
current source. Add a capacitor from the gate of P1 to  
its drain to slow down the turn-on rate of the MOSFET,  
and reduce inrush current. Once GATE reaches around  
0.6V, an internal N-channel MOSFET turns on and pulls  
GATE to ground in order to maximize the enhancement  
of the external P-channel MOSFET. As P1 fully turns on,  
the main step-up regulator powers up with soft-start  
(see the Soft-Start section). The negative linear regula-  
tor is enabled at the same time as the main step-up  
regulator. The positive linear regulator is enabled after  
the soft-start routine is completed. The fault detection  
timer begins after the main step-up regulator has fin-  
ished its soft-start period.  
Fault Protection  
Once the soft-start routine is completed, if the output of  
the main regulator or either linear regulator is below its  
respective fault-detection threshold, or the input overcur-  
rent comparator pulls high, the MAX1889 activates the  
fault timer. If the fault condition still exists after the 64ms  
fault-timer duration, the MAX1889 sets the fault latch,  
which shuts down all the outputs except the reference,  
which remains active. After removing the fault condition,  
toggle SHDN (below 0.4V) or cycle the input voltage  
(below 2.2V) to clear the fault latch and reactivate the  
device.  
Soft-Start  
The soft-start of the main step-up regulator (Figure 3) is  
achieved by ramping up the reference voltage of the  
multi-input PWM comparator in 4096 oscillator clock  
cycles. The 4096 clock cycles correspond to 4.096ms  
for 1MHz operation and 8.192ms for 500kHz operation.  
The reference of the PWM comparator comes from a  
5-bit DAC that generates 32 steps when the reference  
ramps up from 0V to its final value. This soft-start  
method allows a gradual increase of the output voltage  
to reduce the input surge current (see the startup  
waveforms in the Typical Operating Characteristics).  
The average input current is given as:  
Thermal Shutdown  
The thermal shutdown feature limits total power dissipa-  
tion in the MAX1889. When the junction temperature  
(T ) exceeds +160°C, a thermal sensor sets the fault  
J
latch (Figure 2), which shuts down all the outputs  
except the reference, allowing the device to cool down.  
Once the device cools down by 15°C, toggle SHDN  
(below 0.4V) or cycle the input voltage (below 2.2V) to  
clear the fault latch and reactivate the device.

Inductor Selection  
The minimum inductance value, peak current rating,  
series resistance, and size are factors to consider when  
selecting the inductor. These factors influence the con-  
verters efficiency, maximum output load capability,  
transient response time, and output voltage ripple. For  
most applications, values between 3.3µH and 20µH  
work best with the MAX1889s switching frequencies.  
The power loss due to the inductors series resistance  
(P ) can be approximated by the following equation:

the inductors series resistance. For best performance,  
select inductors with resistance less than the internal  
N-channel MOSFETs on-resistance (0.25typ). To  
minimize radiated noise in sensitive applications, use a  
shielded inductor.  
The maximum load current, input voltage, output volt-  
age, and switching frequency determine the inductor  
value. For a given load current, higher inductor value  
results in lower peak current and, thus, less output rip-  
ple, but degrades the transient response and possibly  
increases the size of the inductor. The equations pro-  
vided here include a constant defined as LIR, which is  
the ratio of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple to  
the average DC inductor current. For a good compro-  
mise between the size of the inductor, power loss, and  
output voltage ripple, select an LIR of 0.3 to 0.5. The  
inductance value is then given by:  
Output Capacitor  
The output capacitor affects the circuit stability and out-  
put voltage ripple. A 10µF ceramic capacitor works well  
in most applications. Depending on the output capaci-  
tor chosen, feedback compensation may be required  
or desirable to increase the loop-phase margin or  
increase the loop bandwidth for transient response  
(see the Feedback Compensation section).

The total output voltage ripple has two components: the  
capacitive ripple caused by the charging and discharg-  
ing of the output capacitance, and the ohm ripple due to  
the capacitors equivalent series resistance (ESR):

Step-Up Regulator Compensation  
The loop stability of a current-mode step-up regulator  
can be analyzed using a small-signal model. In continu-  
ous conduction mode (CCM), the loop-gain transfer  
function consists of a dominant pole, a high-frequency  
pole, a right-half-plane (RHP) zero, and an ESR zero. In  
the case of ceramic output capacitors, the ESR zero is at  
a very high frequency.

Under fault conditions, the inductor current can reach the

However, soft saturation inductors and the controllers fast  
current-limit circuitry protect the device from failure during  
such a fault condition.  
The inductors DC resistance can significantly affect  
efficiency due to conduction losses in the inductor.

Therefore, the dominant pole and the RHP zero deter-

quency of the dominant pole is:

However, adding lead or lag compensation (Figure 5)  
can be useful to adjust the trade-off between stability  
and transient response. If greater phase margin is need-  
ed for stability, and lower bandwidth is acceptable, add  
a pole-zero pair by connecting an RC network from the  
FB pin to ground (lag compensation). Conversely, if  
higher bandwidth is required for faster transient  
response, and lower phase margin is acceptable, add a  
The compensation resistors R3 and R4 change the AC  
gain affecting the loop bandwidth and phase margin at  
crossover. Reducing the bandwidth too much (FB com-  
pensation) harms the transient response, while increas-  
ing it too much harms phase margin and stability. As a  
rule, start with R3 (or R4) approximately equal to half of  
R1 (or R2). In a typical application, the compensation  
capacitors C1 and C2 can be in the range between  
100pF to 1000pF. Then, check the stability by monitoring  
the transient response waveform when a pulsed load is  
applied to the output.

Using Compensation for Improved Soft-Start  
The digital soft-start of the main step-up regulator limits  
the average input current during startup. In order to  
smooth out each step of the digital soft-start, add a low-  
frequency lead compensation network (Figure 5). The  
network effectively spreads out the switching pulses  
and lowers the peak inductor currents.

The smoothing network is active only during soft-start  
when the output voltage rises. Positive changes in the  
output are instantaneously coupled to the FB pin  
through D1 and feed-forward capacitor C2. This  
arrangement generates a smoothly rising output volt-  
age. When the output voltage reaches regulation, C2  
charges up through R3 and D1 turns off. In most appli-  
cations, the lead compensation is not needed and can  
be disabled by making R3 large. With R3 > R2, the  
pole and the zero in the compensation network are very  
close to one another and cancel out.

Select the input P-channel MOSFET based on the cur-

should be higher than the maximum input voltage.  
Because the MOSFET conducts the full input current,  
the on-resistance should be low enough for higher effi-  
ciency. Use a low-threshold MOSFET to ensure that the  
switch is fully enhanced at lowest input voltages.

Pass Transistor Selection  
The pass transistor must meet specifications for current  
gain (β), input capacitance, collector-emitter saturation  
voltage, and power dissipation.  
Charge-Pump Output Capacitor

peak transient voltage. With ceramic capacitors, the

During startup, the LDO outputs are below their respec-

tive setpoints, and the base drive to the pass transis-

the charge-pump outputs to collapse. If the charge-  
pump loading is objectionable, base resistors can be  
added between the drive outputs (DRVN and DRVP)  
and the pass transistors (Figure 7). These resistors limit  
the maximum drive current and prevent discharging the

rent gain increases the linear regulators DC loop gain  
(see the Stability Requirements section), so excessive  
gain destabilizes the output. Therefore, transistors with  
current gain over 100 at the maximum output current  
are not recommended. The transistors input capaci-  
tance and input resistance also create a second pole,  
which could be low enough to make the output unsta-  
ble when heavily loaded.

The transistors saturation voltage at the maximum output

differential that the linear regulator supports.  
Alternatively, the packages power dissipation could limit  
the usable maximum input-to-output voltage differential.  
The maximum power dissipation capability of the transis-  
tors package and mounting must exceed the actual  
power dissipation in the device. The power dissipation

resulting RC time constant should be between 5µs to

Stability Requirements  
The MAX1889 linear-regulator controllers use an inter-  
nal transconductance amplifier to drive an external  
pass transistor. The transconductance amplifier, the  
pass transistor, the base-emitter resistor, and the out-  
put capacitor determine the loop stability. If the output  
capacitor and pass transistor are not properly selected,  
the linear regulator can be unstable.

4) If the second and third poles occur well after unity-

bias resistor is typically 3k, providing 0.23mA of cur-

OUT ESR  
For most applications where ceramic capacitors are  
used, the ESR zero always occurs after the crossover.  
The output capacitor and the load resistance create the  
dominant pole in the system. The pass transistors input  
capacitance creates a second pole in the system.  
Additionally, the output capacitors ESR generates a zero.  
A capacitor connected between the output and the  
feedback node improves the transient response,  
reduces the noise coupled into the feedback loop, and  
maintains the correct regulation point (Figure 8).  
To achieve stable operation, use the following equations  
to verify that the linear regulator is properly compensated:  
1) First, determine the dominant pole set by the linear  
Output Capacitor Selection  
Typically, more output capacitance provides the best  
solution, since this also reduces the output voltage drop  
immediately after a load transient. Connect at least a  
0.1µF capacitor between the linear regulators output and  
ground, as close to the external pass transistor as possi-  
ble. Depending on the selected pass transistor, larger  
capacitor values may be required for stability (see the  
Stability Requirements section). Furthermore, the output  
capacitors ESR affects stability. Use output capacitors  
with an ESR less than 200mto ensure stability and opti-  
mum transient response. Once the minimum capacitor  
value for stability is determined, verify that the linear regu-  
lators output does not contain excessive noise. Although  
adequate for stability, small capacitor values can provide  
too much bandwidth, making the linear regulator sensitive  
to noise. Larger capacitor values reduce the bandwidth,  
thereby reducing the regulators noise sensitivity. If noise  
on the ground reference causes the design to be margin-  
ally stable for the negative linear regulator, bypass the  
negative output back to its reference voltage. This tech-  
nique reduces the differential noise on the output.

Applications Information  
the IN pin bypass capacitor and the linear regulator  
output capacitors, should be star-connected to the  
backside of the device with wide traces. Make no  
other connections between these separate ground  
planes.  
PC Board Layout  
Careful PC board layout is extremely important for  
proper operation. Use the following guidelines for good  
PC board layout:  
1) Minimize the area of high-current loops by placing  
the input capacitors, inductor, output diode, and  
output capacitors less than 0.2in (5mm) from the LX  
and PGND pins. Connect these components with  
traces as wide as possible. Avoid using vias in the  
high-current paths. If vias are unavoidable, use  
many vias in parallel to reduce resistance and  
inductance.  
3) Place IN pin and REF pin bypass capacitors as  
close to the device as possible.  
4) Place all feedback voltage-divider resistors as close  
to their respective feedback pins as possible. The  
dividers center trace should be kept short. Placing  
the resistors far away causes their FB traces to  
become antennas that can pick up switching noise.  
Care should be taken to avoid running any feedback  
trace near LX or the switching nodes in the charge  
pumps.  
2) Create islands for the analog ground (GND), power  
ground (PGND), and linear regulator ground. Star-  
connect them to the backside pad of the device.  
The REF bypass capacitor and both feedback  
dividers should be connected to the analog ground  
island (GND). The step-up regulators input and out-  
put capacitors, and the charge-pump components  
should be a wide power ground plane. The power  
ground plane should be connected to the power  
ground pin (PGND) with a wide trace. Maximizing  
the width of the power ground traces improves effi-  
ciency and reduces output voltage ripple and noise  
5) Minimize the length and maximize the width of the  
traces between the output capacitors and the load  
for best transient responses.  
6) Minimize the size of LX node while keeping it wide  
and short. Keep the LX node away from feedback  
nodes (FB, FBP, and FBN) and analog ground. Use  
DC traces as shield if necessary.  
Refer to the MAX1889 evaluation kit for an example of  
proper board layout.

Operation with Output Voltage >13V  
The maximum output voltage of the step-up regulator is  
13V, which is limited by the absolute maximum rating of  
the internal power MOSFET. To achieve higher output  
voltage, an external N-channel MOSFET can be cas-  
coded with the internal FET (Figure 9). Since the gate of  
the external FET is biased from the input supply, use a  
logic-level FET to ensure that the FET is fully enhanced  
at the minimum input voltage. The current rating of the  
FET needs to be higher than the internal current limit.

Changing Power-Up Sequence  
The power-up sequencing of the linear regulators can be  
controlled using external delays. Figure 10 shows an  
application where the negative linear-regulator output  
powers up with a certain delay after the positive linear  
regulator reaches regulation. The resistors R1, R2, and  
the capacitor C form an RC network that provides the  
power-up delay. The time constant of this RC network is:
