Maxim Integrated Products introduces 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.
