The MAX1530 and MAX1531 generate all supply rails for thin-film transistor liquid-crystal display monitors.

The MAX1530 and MAX1531 generate all supply rails for thin-film transistor liquid-crystal display monitors Both devices include a high-efficiency, fixed-frequency, step-down regulator

The low-cost, all N-channel, synchronous topology enables operation with 93% efficiency.

High-frequency operation allows the use of small inductor and capacitors, resulting in a compact solution.

The MAX1530 includes three linear-regulator controllers and the MAX1531 includes five linear regulator controllers for supplying logic and LCD bias voltages.

A programmable startup sequence provides easy control of the regulators.

The MAX1530/MAX1531 include soft-start functions to limit inrush current during startup.

An internal current-limit function protects the power supplies against fault conditions.

The MAX1530/MAX1531's current-mode control architecture provides fast load-transient response and easy compensation.

An internal linear regulator provides mosfet gate drive and powers small external loads.

The MAX1530/MAX1531 operate from inputs as high as 28V and are ideal for LCD monitor and TV applications running directly from AC/DC wall adapters.

Both devices are available in small (5 x 5mm), ultrathin (0.8mm), 32-pin QFN packages and are specified over the -40 to +85C temperature range.

Prices start at $1.90 for the MAX1530 and $2.20 for the MAX1531 (1000-up, FOB USA).

An evaluation kit is available to speed designs.
