10-channel, level-shifter with built in op amp for LCD TVs and monitors

Maxim's new MAX17108 is a 10-channel, level-shifting scan driver that can swing from -12V to +38V and drive capacitive loads. This IC integrates a high-speed operational amplifier to drive the LCD backplane (VCOM); and a linear regulator to provide the internal bias for the step-up controller. Optimized for GIP-based LCD TVs and monitors, the operational amplifier features rail-to-rail outputs, a ±200mA output short-circuit current, a 100V/µs slew rate, and a 20MHz bandwidth. This device is capable of operating over the temp range of -40°C to +85°C.
