Internal-Switch Boost Regulator with Integrated  
7-Channel Scan Driver, Op Amp, and LDO  
S High-Performance Operational Amplifier  
General Description  
The MAX17117 includes a high-performance step-up  
regulator, a 350mA low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator,  
a high-speed operational amplifier, and a high-voltage  
level-shifting scan driver with gate-shading control. The  
device is optimized for thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-  
crystal display (LCD) applications.  
200mA Output Short-Circuit Current  
40V/µs Slew Rate  
16MHz, -3dB Bandwidth  
Low-Dropout Linear Regulator  
High-Accuracy Output Voltage (1.0%)  
S High-Voltage Drivers with Scan Logic  
+35V to -15V Outputs  
40V Maximum Voltage Swing  
Gate-Shading Control  
The step-up DC-DC converter provides the regulated  
supply voltage for panel source-driver ICs. The high  
1.2MHz switching frequency allows the use of ultra-small  
inductors and ceramic capacitors. The current-mode  
control architecture provides a fast-transient response to  
pulsed loads typical of source driver loads. The step-up  
regulator features an adjustable soft-start and an adjust-  
able cycle-by-cycle current limit.

The high-current operational amplifier is designed to  
drive the LCD backplane (VCOM). The amplifier features  
high output current (Q200mA typ), fast slew rate (40V/Fs  
typ), wide bandwidth (16MHz typ), and rail-to-rail inputs  
and outputs.

The high-voltage, level-shifting scan driver with gate-  
shading control is designed to drive the TFT panel gate  
drivers. Its seven outputs swing 40V (maximum) between  
+35V (maximum) and -15V (minimum) and can swiftly  
drive capacitive loads.

Step-Up Regulator  
The step-up regulator employs a peak current-mode  
control architecture with a fixed 1.2MHz switching fre-  
quency that maximizes loop bandwidth and provides  
a fast-transient response to pulsed loads found in  
source drivers of TFT LCD panels. The high switching  
frequency allows the use of low-profile inductors and  
ceramic capacitors to minimize the thickness of LCD  
panel designs. The integrated high-efficiency MOSFET  
reduces the number of external components required.

Internal-Switch Boost Regulator with Integrated  
7-Channel Scan Driver, Op Amp, and LDO  
The regulator controls the output voltage and the power  
delivered to the output by modulating the duty cycle (D)  
of the internal power MOSFET in each switching cycle.  
The duty cycle of the MOSFET is approximated by:  
its magnetic field. Once the sum of the current-feedback  
signal and the slope compensation exceed the COMP  
voltage, the controller resets the flip-flop and turns off  
the MOSFET. Since the inductor current is continuous,  
a transverse potential develops across the inductor that  
turns on the diode (D1). The voltage across the inductor  
then becomes the difference between the output voltage  
and the input voltage. This discharge condition forces  
the current through the inductor to ramp back down,  
transferring the energy stored in the magnetic field to the  
output capacitor and the load. The MOSFET remains off  
for the rest of the clock cycle.

MAIN

Figure 3 shows the step-up regulator block diagram.  
An error amplifier compares the signal at FB to 1.24V  
and changes the COMP output. The voltage at COMP  
determines the current trip point each time the internal  
MOSFET turns on. As the load varies, the error amplifier  
sources or sinks current to the COMP output accord-  
ingly to produce the inductor peak current necessary to  
service the load. To maintain stability at high duty cycles,  
a slope compensation signal is summed with the current-  
sense signal.  
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)  
The UVLO circuit compares the input voltage at IN with  
the UVLO threshold (2.0V typ) to ensure that the input  
voltage is high enough for reliable operation. The 150mV  
(typ) hysteresis prevents supply transients from caus-  
ing a restart. Once the input voltage exceeds the UVLO  
rising threshold, startup begins. When the input voltage  
falls below the UVLO falling threshold, the controller  
turns off the main step-up regulator.  
On the rising edge of the internal clock, the controller sets  
a flip-flop, turning on the n-channel MOSFET and apply-  
ing the input voltage across the inductor. The current  
through the inductor ramps up linearly, storing energy in

Overvoltage Protection  
The MAX17117 monitors OPAS for an overvoltage con-  
dition. If the OPAS voltage is above 17V (typ), the  
MAX17117 disables the gate driver of the step-up regula-  
tor and prevents the internal MOSFET from switching. The  
OPAS overvoltage condition does not set the fault latch.  
Short-Circuit Current Limit  
The operational amplifier limits short-circuit current to  
approximately Q200mA (typ) if the output is directly  
shorted to OPAS or to AGND. If the short-circuit condi-  
tion persists, the junction temperature of the IC rises until  
it reaches the thermal-shutdown threshold (+170NC typ).  
Once the junction temperature reaches the thermal-shut-  
down threshold, an internal thermal sensor immediately  
shuts down all outputs until the input voltage is cycled  
off, then on again.  
Overcurrent Protection  
The step-up regulator features an adjustable cycle-  
by-cycle current limit. The inductor current is sensed  
through the LX switch during the LX switch on-time. If  
the peak inductor current rises above the current-limit  
Driving Pure Capacitive Loads  
The operational amplifier is typically used to drive the  
LCD backplane (VOUT) or the gamma-correction-divider  
string. The LCD backplane consists of a distributed  
series capacitance and resistance, a load that can be  
easily driven by the operational amplifier. However, if the  
operational amplifier is used in an application with a pure  
capacitive load, steps must be taken to ensure stable  
operation. As the operational amplifier’s capacitive load  
increases, the amplifier’s bandwidth decreases and gain  
peaking increases. A 5I to 50I small resistor placed  
between VOUT and the capacitive load reduces peak-  
ing, but also reduces the gain. An alternative method  
of reducing peaking is to place a series RC network  
(snubber) in parallel with the capacitive load. The RC  
network does not continuously load the output or reduce  
the gain. Typical values of the resistor are between 100I  
and 200Iand the typical value of the capacitor is 10pF.  
threshold set by R , the LX switch immediately turns  
ENA  
off until the next switching cycle, effectively limiting the  
peak-inductor current each cycle.  
Soft-Start  
The soft-start feature effectively limits the inrush current  
at startup by slowly raising the regulation voltage of the  
step-up converter’s feedback pin (V ) at a rate deter-  
FB  
mined by the selection of the soft-start capacitor (C ).  
SS  
At startup, once ENA is pulled high through R  
, an  
ENA  
internal 4FA (typ) current source begins to charge the  
soft-start capacitor (C ), slowly bringing up the volt-  
SS  
age at the soft-start pin (V ). V follows V for V <

to reach its full regulation voltage.  
MAIN  
Fault Protection  
During steady-state operation, the MAX17117 monitors  
the FB voltage. If the FB voltage falls below 1.1V (typ),  
the MAX17117 activates an internal fault timer. If there is  
a continuous fault more than 160ms (typ), the MAX17117  
sets the fault latch, turning off all outputs except LDOO.  
Once the fault condition is removed, cycle the input volt-  
age to clear the fault latch and reactivate the device. The  
fault-detection circuit is disabled during the soft-start time.  
High-Voltage Scan Driver  
The high-voltage, level-shifting scan driver with gate-  
shading control is designed to drive the TFT panel  
gate drivers. Its seven outputs swing 40V (maximum)  
between +35V (maximum) and -15V (minimum) and can  
swiftly drive capacitive loads. The driver outputs (STH,  
CKH_) swing between their power-supply rails (GHON  
and VGL), according to the input logic levels on their  
corresponding inputs (ST, CK_) except during a gate-  
shading period. During a gate-shading period, a CKH_  
output driver becomes high impedance and an internal  
switch connected between the CKH_ output’s capaci-  
tive load and either RO or RE closes (S1–S6) whenever  
the state of its corresponding CK_ input is logic-low.  
This allows part of an output’s GHON-to-VGL transition  
to be completed by partially discharging its capacitive  
load through an external resistor attached to either RO  
or RE for a duration set by the gate-shading period. See  
Figure 4.  
Operational Amplifier  
The MAX17117 has an operational amplifier that is  
typically used to drive the LCD backplane (VCOM) or  
the gamma-correction-divider string. The operational  
amplifier features Q200mA (typ) output short-circuit cur-  
rent, 40V/Fs (typ) slew rate, and 16MHz (typ) bandwidth.  
While the op amp is a rail-to-rail input and output design,  
its accuracy is significantly degraded for input voltages  
within 1V of its supply rails (OPAS and AGND).

Design Procedure  
Main Step-Up Regulator  
Inductor Selection  
The minimum inductance value, peak current rating, and  
series resistance are factors to consider when select-  
ing the inductor. These factors influence the converter’s  
efficiency, maximum output-load capability, transient-  
response time, and output-voltage ripple. Physical size  
and cost are also important factors to be considered.

The maximum output current, input voltage, output volt-  
age, and switching frequency determine the inductor  
value. Very high-inductance values minimize the current  
ripple and therefore reduce the peak current, which  
decreases core losses in the inductor and I2R losses in  
the entire power path. However, large inductor values  
also require more energy storage and more turns of wire,  
which increase physical size and can increase I2R loss-  
es in the inductor. Low-inductance values decrease the  
physical size but increase the current ripple and peak  
current. Finding the best inductor involves choosing the  
best compromise among circuit efficiency, inductor size,  
and cost.

The equations used here include a constant called LIR,  
which is the ratio of the inductor peak-to-peak ripple cur-  
rent to the average DC inductor current at the full-load  
current. The best trade-off between inductor size and  
circuit efficiency for step-up regulators generally has an  
LIR between 0.3 and 0.5. However, depending on the  
AC characteristics of the inductor core material and ratio  
of inductor resistance to other power-path resistances,  
the best LIR can shift up or down. If the inductor resis-  
tance is relatively high, more ripple can be accepted to  
reduce the number of turns required and increase the  
wire diameter. If the inductor resistance is relatively low,  
increasing inductance to lower the peak current can  
decrease losses throughout the power path. If extremely  
thin high-resistance inductors are used, as is common  
for LCD panel applications, the best LIR can increase to  
between 0.5 and 1.0.

The input capacitor (C3) reduces the current peaks

tion into the IC. A 10FF ceramic capacitor is used in the  
typical application circuit (Figure 1) because of the high  
source impedance seen in typical lab setups. Actual

Power Dissipation  
An IC’s maximum power dissipation depends on the  
thermal resistance from the die to the ambient environ-  
ment and the ambient temperature. The thermal resis-  
tance depends on the IC package, PCB copper area,  
other thermal mass, and airflow.

The MAX17117, with its exposed backside paddle sol-  
dered to 1in2 of PCB copper, can dissipate approximate-  
ly 1990mW into +70NC still air. More PCB copper, cooler  
ambient air, and more airflow increase the possible  
dissipation, while less copper or warmer air decreases  
the IC’s dissipation capability. The major components of  
power dissipation are the power dissipated in the step-  
up regulator and the power dissipated by the operational  
amplifiers.

CKH_ level shifters, and the LDO.  
Place R5 and R6 close to the IC such that the connec-  
tions between these components and the LDOADJ pin  
are kept as short as possible.  
Step-Up Regulator  
The largest portions of the power dissipated by the  
step-up regulator are the internal MOSFET, the induc-  
tor, and the output diode. If the step-up regulator with  
3.3V input and 285mA output has approximately 85%  
efficiency, approximately 5% of the power is lost in the  
internal MOSFET, approximately 3% in the inductor, and  
approximately 5% in the output diode. The remaining  
few percent are distributed among the input and out-  
put capacitors and the PCB traces. If the input power  
is approximately 2.85W, the power lost in the internal  
MOSFET is approximately 143mW.  
Connect a 1FF low ESR capacitor between LDOO and  
AGND to ensure stability and to provide good output-  
transient performance.

as possible to their respective feedback pins. The  
divider’s center trace should be kept short. Placing  
the resistors far away causes the feedback trace to  
become an antenna that can pick up switching noise.  
Care should be taken to avoid running the feedback  
trace near LX or the switching nodes in the charge  
pumps.

If the scan frequency is 50kHz, the load of the six CKH_

• Place the IN pin bypass capacitor as close as pos-  
sible to the device. The ground connections of the  
IN bypass capacitor should be connected directly to  
AGND at the backside pad of the IC.  
PCB Layout and Grounding  
Careful PCB layout is important for proper operation. Use  
the following guidelines for good PCB layout:  
• Minimize the length and maximize the width of the  
traces between the output capacitors and the load for  
best transient responses.  
• Minimize the area of high-current loops by placing the  
inductor, output diode, and output capacitors near the  
input capacitors and near LX and PGND. The high-  
current input loop goes from the positive terminal of  
the input capacitor to the inductor, to the IC’s LX pin,  
out of PGND, and to the input capacitor’s negative ter-  
minal. The high-current output loop is from the positive  
terminal of the input capacitor to the inductor, to the  
output diode (D1), to the positive terminal of the output  
capacitors, reconnecting between the output capaci-  
tor and input capacitor ground terminals. Connect  
these loop components with short, wide connections.  
Avoid using vias in the high-current paths. If vias are  
unavoidable, use many vias in parallel to reduce resis-  
tance and inductance.  
• Minimize the size of the LX node while keeping it wide  
and short. Keep the LX node away from the feedback  
node and analog ground. Use DC traces as a shield  
if necessary.  
Refer to the MAX17117 Evaluation Kit for an example of  
proper board layout.
