Product details
Overview
MAX20069GTL/V+ from Maxim Integrated is an automotive-grade, I²C-controlled 4-channel LED backlight driver and 4-output TFT-LCD bias power IC. It integrates a buck-boost converter, boost converter, dual gate-driver supplies (+28V/−21.5V), and a boost/SEPIC LED driver delivering up to 150mA per string. It operates from 2.8V–5.5V (TFT section) and 4.5V–42V (LED section), targeting central infotainment displays requiring synchronized power sequencing and phase-shift dimming.
For engineers reviewing the MAX20069GTL/V+ datasheet, MAX20069GTL/V+ pinout, MAX20069GTL/V+ application, or MAX20069GTL/V+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its quad-string 150mA LED drive capability, integrated ±7V to ±28V TFT bias generation, I²C-configurable sequencing modes, adaptive voltage optimization, and AEC-Q100 qualified operation from −40°C to +105°C.
Technical Context
The MAX20069GTL/V+ implements independent regulation paths: a synchronous boost (VPOS, up to +18V/150mA) and inverting buck-boost (VNEG, down to −7V/100mA) for source drivers; dual charge pumps for gate drivers (±21.5V/±28V, 3mA each); and a programmable-frequency (440kHz/2.2MHz) boost/SEPIC controller for LED strings. All outputs support undervoltage detection and fault reporting via FLTB pin and I²C register reads.
Startup/shutdown sequencing is managed across seven preset modes-selected either by SEQ pin resistor or I²C-ensuring controlled ramp-up of VPOS, VNEG, VGON, VGOF, and LED strings to prevent display artifacts. Phase-shifted PWM dimming (500ns minimum pulse width) reduces input/output ripple and audible noise without requiring external timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage (TFT Section) | 2.8V to 5.5V - powers internal bias converters and logic; supports direct connection to automotive 3.3V or 5V rails. |
| VPOS Output Range | +7V to +18V - adjustable via resistor divider on FBP or I²C; regulates positive source-driver supply. |
| VNEG Regulation | −VPOS (min −7V) - tightly tracked negative supply eliminates need for separate feedback network. |
| Gate Driver Outputs | +28V / −21.5V, 3mA each - sufficient for TFT LCD panel gate-on/gate-off timing with low quiescent current. |
| LED Channel Current | Up to 150mA per string - supports high-brightness automotive displays with four independent current sinks. |
| Dimming Ratio | 10,000:1 at 200Hz - enables precise brightness control across daylight-to-night ambient conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +105°C - qualified for under-hood and dashboard mounting locations per AEC-Q100 Grade 2. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX20069GTL/V+ is housed in a 40-pin, 6mm × 6mm TQFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP). Pin assignment is validated per Maxim Integrated's official datasheet revision 1.0 (2022).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TFT-LCD bias and LED backlight driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX25530ATPA/VY+ | Single 150mA LED channel; no integrated TFT bias; requires external gate drivers; supports ASIL-B FMEDA. | Targeted at simpler displays with lower channel count; lacks quad-string phase-shift dimming and integrated VPOS/VNEG. | Choose when functional safety documentation and modular architecture outweigh integration benefits. |
| TPS65150RGER | Non-automotive grade; no AEC-Q100 qualification; fixed VPOS/VNEG outputs; no I²C interface; max 100mA per LED channel. | Designed for industrial/commercial LCD panels; unsuitable for automotive temperature or reliability requirements. | Consider only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where −40°C to +105°C operation and fault diagnostics are not required. |
Compared with MAX20069GTL/V+, MAX25530ATPA/VY+ offers stronger functional safety support but sacrifices TFT bias integration and multi-string dimming flexibility, while TPS65150RGER provides basic bias functionality at lower cost but lacks automotive qualification, diagnostics, and adaptive power optimization.

FAQ
What is the maximum LED string voltage supported by the MAX20069GTL/V+?
The MAX20069GTL/V+ uses a boost/SEPIC LED driver topology with output voltage limited by external MOSFET and diode ratings. While the IC itself does not specify a hard ceiling, typical implementations support up to 45V per string when using recommended 60V-rated external components. The MAX20069GTL/V+ datasheet defines operation up to 42V on VBATT, and proper layout and component selection ensure safe operation within this range without exceeding internal current-sink voltage tolerances.
Does the MAX20069GTL/V+ support independent dimming of each LED channel?
No-the MAX20069GTL/V+ supports only simultaneous or phase-shifted dimming across all four channels; individual channel brightness control is not implemented. PWM dimming is applied globally via the DIM pin or I²C register, and phase shifting (90° offset per channel) is enabled/disabled as a group setting. The MAX20069GTL/V+ does not provide per-string current or duty-cycle adjustment-its architecture prioritizes EMI reduction and thermal uniformity over per-zone dimming.
Can the MAX20069GTL/V+ operate without I²C communication?
Yes-the MAX20069GTL/V+ supports full standalone operation using resistor-programmed pins (e.g., SEQ, FBP, MODE). Default VPOS/VNEG values, sequencing mode, and dimming frequency are set at power-on without I²C. However, real-time diagnostics, fault register reads, adaptive voltage optimization enablement, and dynamic sequencing reconfiguration require active I²C communication. The MAX20069GTL/V+ remains fully functional in pin-strapped mode for basic display power delivery.
What thermal management features does the MAX20069GTL/V+ include?
The MAX20069GTL/V+ integrates thermal foldback and shutdown protection triggered at +150°C junction temperature, with automatic recovery upon cooling. Its 40-pin TQFN package includes an exposed thermal pad requiring ≥4 thermal vias to inner ground plane for effective heat dissipation. Under full load (four 150mA strings + bias supplies), measured junction-to-ambient θJA is 32°C/W with 25mm² copper pour, enabling continuous operation at +105°C ambient when properly mounted. The MAX20069GTL/V+ also reports thermal warnings via I²C status bits before shutdown occurs.
Is the MAX20069GTL/V+ pin-compatible with earlier Maxim display power ICs like the MAX16984?
No-the MAX20069GTL/V+ is not pin-compatible with MAX16984 or other legacy Maxim display PMICs. It uses a unique 40-pin TQFN layout optimized for its integrated TFT bias + quad LED driver architecture, with distinct pin assignments for VBATT, VIN, FLTB, and sequencing control. Migration from MAX16984 requires PCB redesign, though functional overlap exists in bias generation; the MAX20069GTL/V+ adds LED driving, phase-shift dimming, and enhanced diagnostics not present in MAX16984.
