Display Driver is optimized for GIP-based LCD TVs.
Press Release Summary:
Integrating high-speed operational amplifier to drive LCD backplane (VCOM), model MAX17108 enables implementation of gate-in-panel (GIP) technology in LCD panels. It includes 10-channel, level-shifting scan driver that can swing from -12 to +38 V and drive capacitive loads, and one linear regulator to provide internal bias for step-up controller. Amplifier features rail-to-rail outputs, ± 200 mA output short-circuit current, 100 V/µs slew rate, and 20 MHz bandwidth.
