MAX754CSE

Power Management - Specialized Overview

The MAX754CSE is a specialized display driver and controller manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (Maxim Integrated). It is designed for LCD contrast control applications, specifically driving cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) to provide the necessary backplane bias power. The component operates within a wide input voltage range of 4V to 30V, making it suitable for portable electronic devices requiring regulated DC power supplies. It is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package.

Power Management - Specialized Feature Summary

• Drives cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs)
• Provides LCD backplane bias power
• Operates from a wide input voltage range

Power Management - Specialized Applications

• LCD contrast controllers
• CCFL backlight control systems
• Portable electronic devices with regulated DC power requirements

Power Management - Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as search results indicate potential confusion between Maxim Integrated and Analog Devices Inc. due to corporate acquisitions. Ensure the specific part number matches the required CCFL driver functionality rather than other MAX754 series variants like buck converters or DACs. Confirm package type compatibility during sourcing.

Power Management - Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits that require dedicated drive capabilities for cold-cathode fluorescent lamps in display applications. It is appropriate for systems needing a regulated DC power supply for LCD backplane bias. Consider the 16-SOIC package constraints and the 4V to 30V input voltage range when evaluating system power architecture.

Power Management - Specialized Part Context

The MAX754 series includes various components such as the MAX753/MAX754 dual 12-bit multiplying DACs and the MAX754CSE LCD contrast controller. This specific model is distinct from the digital-to-analog converter variants often associated with similar numbering. It belongs to the display drivers and controllers category, focusing on power management for lighting elements within display panels.
