These converters operate from a 2.7V to 5.5V supply voltage and deliver up to 28V at the output. A unique control scheme provides the highest efficiency over a wide range of load conditions. The internal MOSFET switch reduces external component count and a high switching frequency (up to 800kHz) allows for tiny surface-mount components. Three current-limit options are available. The MAX8570 and MAX8572 use a 110mA current limit to reduce ripple and component size in low-current applications. For high-power requirements, the MAX8574 and MAX8575 use a 500mA current limit and supply up to 20mA at 20V. The MAX8571 and MAX8573 use a 250mA current limit for a compromise between ripple and power. Built-in safety features protect the internal switch and down-stream components from fault conditions. Additional features include a low quiescent current and a True ShutdownTM mode to save power. The MAX8570/ MAX8571/MAX8574 allow the user to set the output voltage between 3V and 28V, and the MAX8572/ MAX8573/MAX8575 have a preset 15V output. These step-up converters are ideal for small LCD panels with low current requirements, but can also be used in other applications. The MAX8571 evaluation kit is available to help reduce design time.

Negative Output Voltage for LCD Bias _______________________________________________________________________________________ C5 1F High-Efficiency LCD Boost with True Shutdown The MAX8570 family of compact, step-up DC-DC converters operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V supply. Consuming only 25A of supply current, these ICs include an internal MOSFET switch with a low on-resistance. A trueshutdown feature disconnects the battery from the load and reduces the supply current to 0.05A (typ). These DC-DC converters are available with either a fixed 15V output or are adjustable up to 28V. Three current-limit options are available: 110mA, 250mA, and 500mA. See the Selector Guide on page 1. Control Scheme The MAX8570 family features a minimum off-time current-limited control scheme operating in discontinuous mode. An internal p-channel MOSFET switch connects VCC to SW to provide power to the inductor when the converter is operating. When the converter is shut down, this switch disconnects the input supply from the inductor (see Figure 1). To boost the output voltage, an n-channel MOSFET switch turns on and allows current to ramp up in the inductor. Once this current reaches the current limit, the switch turns off and the inductor current flows through D1 to supply the output. The switching frequency varies depending on the load and input voltage and can be up to 800kHz. Setting the Output Voltage The output voltage of the MAX8570, MAX8571, and MAX8574 is adjustable from VCC to 28V by using a resistor voltage-divider (see Figure 2). Select R2 from 10k to 600k and calculate R1 with the following equation: V R1 = R2 OUT - 1 VFB where VFB = 1.226V and VOUT can range from VCC to 28V. For best accuracy, ensure that the bias current through the feedback resistors is at least 2A. The MAX8572, MAX8573, and MAX8575 have a fixed 15V output. When using these parts, connect OUT directly to the output (see Figure 3). Shutdown (SHDN) Drive SHDN low to enter shutdown. During shutdown the supply current drops to 0.05A (typ), the output is disconnected from the input, and LX enters a highimpedance state. The capacitance and load at the output determine the rate at which VOUT decays. SHDN can be pulled as high as 6V regardless of the input and output voltages. With a typical step-up converter circuit, the output remains connected to the input through the inductor and output rectifier, holding the output voltage to one diode drop below VCC when the converter is shut down and allowing the output to draw power from the input. The MAX8570 family features True-Shutdown mode, disconnecting the output from the input with an internal pchannel MOSFET switch when shut down. This eliminates power draw from the input during shutdown. Soft-Start The MAX8570 family uses two soft-start mechanisms. When the true-shutdown feature is used (SW is connected as in Figure 2 and Figure 3), the gate of the internal high-side p-channel switch turns on slowly to prevent inrush current. This takes approximately 200s. When SW is fully turned on, the internal n-channel switch begins boosting the input to set the output voltage. When VFB is less than 0.5V (with or without the use of True Shutdown), the minimum off-time of the internal n-channel switch increases from 1s to 5s to control inrush current. Separate Power for Inductor Separate power supplies can be used for the IC and the inductor. This allows power to be used from a battery or supply with a voltage as low as 0.8V, or higher than the VCC operating range of the converter. When using a separate inductor supply, SW is left unconnected and the supply is connected directly to the inductor (see Figure 4). Note that in this configuration the output is no longer disconnected from the input during shutdown. In shutdown the output voltage goes to a diode drop below the inductor supply voltage. Protection Features The MAX8570 family has protection features designed to make it extremely robust to application errors (see Table 1). If the output capacitor in the application is missing, the MAX8570 family protects the internal switch from being damaged. If the top feedback resistor or the external diode is disconnected, the converter stops switching and the output is resistively loaded to ground. Similarly, if the external diode polarity is reversed, the converter discontinues switching. If the bottom feedback resistor is missing, the output stays at a diode drop less than the inductor supply voltage or 1.226V (whichever is greater). In fact, in response to most fault conditions, the MAX8570 family protects not only itself, but also the downstream circuitry. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 MAX8570-MAX8575 Detailed Description MAX8570-MAX8575 High-Efficiency LCD Boost with True Shutdown Table 1. Protection Features RESULT WITH COMPETING STEP-UP CONVERTERS COMMON APPLICATION FAULTS RESULT WITH MAX8570 FAMILY OUT voltage rises until the output capacitor is destroyed and/or downstream components are damaged. Converter stops switching. Output cap missing and FB open. OUT voltage rises until the output capacitor is destroyed and/or downstream components are damaged. LX may boost one or two times before the FB voltage exceeds the trip point. In the rare case where the capacitive loading and external loading on OUT is small enough that the energy in one cycle can slew it more than 50V, the internal MOSFET will clamp between 35V and 70V (nondestructively). FB shorted to GND. OUT voltage rises until the output capacitor is destroyed and/or downstream components are damaged. Converter stops switching and OUT is resistively loaded to GND. Diode missing or disconnected. Diode reverse polarity. Inductor energy forces LX node high, possibly damaging the internal switch. OUT is resistively loaded to GND and the converter stops switching. FB node open. Unpredictable, possibly boosting output voltage beyond acceptable design range. FB node driven above its regulation point, the converter stops switching, and OUT is resistively loaded to GND. OUT shorted to ground. Current ramps up through inductor and diode, generally destroying one of the devices. True off-switch detects short, opens when current reaches pMOS current limit, and restarts soft-start. This protects the inductor and diode. OUT to FB resistor missing or disconnected. Design Procedure Inductor Selection Smaller inductance values typically offer smaller physical size for a given series resistance or saturation current. Circuits using larger inductance values may provide more output power. The inductor's saturation current rating should be greater than the peak switching current. Recommended inductor values range from 10H to 100H. value. See the Selector Guide on page 1 for selecting the IC with the correct current limit. Diode Selection The high switching frequency of up to 800kHz requires a high-speed rectifier. Schottky diodes are recommended due to their low forward-voltage drop. To maintain high efficiency, the average current rating of the diode should be greater than the peak switching current. Choose a reverse breakdown voltage greater than the output voltage. Selecting the Current Limit The peak LX current limit (ILX(MAX)) required for the application is calculated from the following equation: ILX(MAX) 1. 25 x 2 POUT(MAX) POUT(MAX) + 1 . 25 x + 3 s x VBATT(MIN) V L BATT(MIN) POUT(MAX) where P OUT(MAX) is the maximum output power required by the load and VBATT(MIN) is the minimum supply voltage used to supply the inductor (this is VCC unless a separate supply is used for the inductor). The IC current limit must be greater than this calculated 8 Capacitors Small ceramic surface-mount capacitors with X7R or X5R temperature characteristics are recommended due to their small size, low cost, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and low equivalent series inductance (ESL). If nonceramic capacitors are used, it is important that they have low ESR to reduce the output ripple voltage and peak-peak load-transient voltage. For most applications, use a 1F ceramic capacitor for the output and VCC bypass capacitors. For SW or the inductor supply, a 4.7F or greater ceramic capacitor is recommended. _______________________________________________________________________________________ High-Efficiency LCD Boost with True Shutdown Applications Information PC Board Layout Careful printed circuit layout is important for minimizing ground bounce and noise. Keep the GND pin and ground pads for the input and output capacitors as close together as possible. Keep the connection to LX as short as possible. Locate the feedback resistors as close as possible to the FB pin and keep the feedback traces routed away from noisy areas such as LX. Refer to the MAX8571EVKIT for a layout example. Negative Output Voltage for LCD Bias A negative output voltage can be generated by adding a diode/capacitor charge pump as shown in Figure 5. In this configuration, the negative output is lower in magnitude than the positive output by a forward diode drop. If there is little or no load on the positive output, the negative output drifts from its nominal voltage. To prevent this, it may be necessary to preload the positive output with a few hundred microamps, which can be done by selecting lower than normal values of R1 and R2. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 9 MAX8570-MAX8575 For the MAX8570/MAX8571/MAX8574 a feed-forward capacitor (C4 in Figures 2 and 4) connected from the output to FB improves stability over a wide range of battery voltages. A 10pF capacitor is recommended for the MAX8571 and MAX8574. A 10pF to 47pF capacitor is recommended for the MAX8570. Note that increasing C4 degrades line and load regulation.
