Level-Shifter Solution for LCD TVs with Gate-in-Panel Technology from Maxim
Maxim has introduced the MAX17108, a high-performance level-shifter solution that enables the implementation of GIP technology in LCD panels. Developed using Maxim's proprietary, high-voltage BiCMOS process, this device integrates a 10-channel, level-shifting scan driver that can swing from -12V to +38V and swiftly drive capacitive loads; a high-speed operational amplifier to drive the LCD backplane (VCOM); and a linear regulator to provide the internal bias for the step-up controller.
Optimized for GIP-based LCD TVs and monitors, the operational amplifier features rail-to-rail outputs, a ±200mA output short-circuit current, a 100V/microsecond slew rate, and a 20MHz bandwidth.The MAX17108 is available in a 5mm x 5mm, 28-pin TQFN package and is fully specified over the -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius extended temperature range. Prices start at $2.00 (1000-up, FOB USA).
