MAX8574EUT+T

Special Purpose Regulators Overview

The MAX8574EUT+T is a high-efficiency LCD boost converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.25V and provides an adjustable output voltage from 2.7V up to 28V. The device utilizes an internal n-channel switch and an internal p-channel output isolation switch, functioning as a step-up converter with a maximum switching frequency of 800kHz. It is housed in a compact SOT-23-6 surface-mount package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Special Purpose Regulators Feature Summary

• Integrates an internal n-channel switch and an internal p-channel output isolation switch for efficient power conversion.
• Features true shutdown capability to minimize current consumption during inactive periods.
• Provides adjustable output voltage control suitable for various display biasing requirements.

Special Purpose Regulators Applications

• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) bias voltage generation
• Portable electronic devices requiring efficient step-up conversion
• Battery-powered systems needing extended runtime through low quiescent current

Special Purpose Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EUT+T' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format and lead-free composition when ordering. Confirm that the required output voltage range aligns with the component's 28V maximum limit. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range to maintain performance reliability.

Special Purpose Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution for driving LCD panels or similar loads from a single-cell lithium battery or low-voltage source is required. The choice is driven by the need for high efficiency at light loads and the integration of both switching elements in a small footprint. Consider the 800kHz switching frequency for balancing component size against electromagnetic interference.

Special Purpose Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated family of high-efficiency boost converters designed specifically for display applications. It complements other PMIC solutions by offering a dedicated, cost-effective method for generating negative or positive bias voltages needed for LCD operation without requiring external inductors of large physical size.
