MAX17079GTL+T

Overview

The MAX17079GTL+T is a specialized voltage level shifter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It is designed to translate logic signals from 4-Level or 2-Level standards to high-voltage levels required for TFT LCD TV displays. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. It is housed in a 40-WFQFN surface-mount package, specifically identified as a 40-lead Thin Quad Flat No-Lead (TQFN) configuration. This device functions as a critical interface element in display driver circuits.

Feature Summary

• Translates low-voltage logic signals to high-voltage levels suitable for TFT LCD panels
• Supports both 4-Level and 2-Level logic input standards
• Operates across a wide industrial temperature range for robust performance

Applications

• TFT LCD TV display signal interfacing
• Logic level translation between controller and panel drivers
• High-voltage output generation for display backplanes

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'GTL+T' against official datasheets to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free status. Confirm that the 40-WFQN footprint matches your PCB design requirements. Check for end-of-life notifications or discontinuation notices from Analog Devices, as availability may be restricted. Ensure compatibility with the specific 4-Level or 2-Level logic standards used in your target display application before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing low-voltage digital controllers with high-voltage TFT LCD panels requiring precise level shifting. Consider the 40-WFQFN package size for space-constrained designs. Verify that the input logic standard (2-Level or 4-Level) matches your system architecture. Evaluate thermal performance within the specified -40°C to +105°C range for your operating environment. Compare against alternative shifters if specific voltage thresholds differ significantly from standard TFT requirements.

Part Context

The MAX17079 belongs to a family of specialized power management and interface ICs from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. It complements other display-related components like the MAX17080 CPU controller by handling the physical layer signal translation. This series addresses the specific needs of modern display technologies where voltage domain separation is critical for signal integrity and power efficiency.
