Product details
Overview
The MAX8575EUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output, high-efficiency LCD step-up DC-DC converter with 15V preset output, 500mA current limit, True Shutdown™ functionality, and operation from 2.7V to 5.5V input. It integrates internal n-channel and p-channel MOSFET switches, delivers up to 20mA at 20V from a single Li+ battery, and targets compact LCD bias generation in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8575EUT+T datasheet, MAX8575EUT+T pinout, MAX8575EUT+T application, or MAX8575EUT+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world load regulation performance (±0.1%/mA), safety feature behavior under fault conditions, and validated alternative options for 15V LCD boost applications.
Technical Context
The MAX8575EUT+T employs a minimum off-time, current-limited control scheme operating in discontinuous conduction mode. Its internal p-channel isolation switch disconnects the output from the input during True Shutdown, reducing supply current to 0.05µA (typ) and eliminating standby power draw.
It features built-in protection against common faults: open feedback resistors cause shutdown and resistive grounding of OUT; missing or reversed external diodes halt switching; and output shorts trigger soft-start-restart cycles limited by the pMOS current limit. The FB regulation voltage is fixed at 1.226V (±0.0123V over –40°C to +85°C), enabling precise 15V output via internal resistor network.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 15V ±0.187V over –40°C to +85°C - ensures stable LCD VPOS bias without external feedback components. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li+ batteries and regulated 3.3V/5V rails. |
| Current Limit | 500mA (typ) - supports higher-power LCD panels requiring up to 20mA at 20V output. |
| Efficiency | 87% (typ) at 5mA load - minimizes thermal stress and extends battery life in portable devices. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 800kHz - enables use of small 22μH–47μH surface-mount inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.05µA (typ) - achieves ultra-low quiescent power in always-on portable systems. |
| Load Regulation | ±0.1%/mA - maintains tight output stability across varying LCD segment activation loads. |
Pinout & Package
MAX8575EUT+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (top mark ABTO), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and thermal pad omitted. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin description and functional diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for LX, SW, and internal logic; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| LX | Inductor switching node | Drain connection of internal n-channel MOSFET; carries pulsed current up to 500mA; requires short, low-inductance trace to inductor. |
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V input; bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND near the pin. |
| SHDN | Logic-controlled enable | Active-low input; drives <0.7V for shutdown, >1.4V for operation; tolerates up to 6V regardless of VCC. |
| SW | Isolation switch output | Drain of internal p-channel MOSFET; connects VCC to inductor during operation; left open if True Shutdown not required. |
| OUT | Regulated 15V output | Fixed 15V output node; internally connected to feedback divider; bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Shutdown™ | Internal p-channel switch disconnects input from inductor during shutdown, reducing IQ to 0.05µA and preventing output hold-up. |
| Integrated 500mA Switch | Eliminates need for external high-current MOSFET; reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs. |
| Robust Fault Protection | Automatically halts switching and resistively grounds OUT during open FB, missing diode, or reversed diode faults - protects downstream LCD drivers. |
| High Efficiency at Light Loads | 87% efficiency maintained at 1mA load due to low quiescent current (25µA) and optimized control architecture. |
| 15V Output Accuracy | ±0.187V tolerance over full temperature range ensures reliable LCD contrast control without calibration. |
Applications
| Small LCD Bias Generation | OLED Panel Power Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LCD boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX8573EUT+T | Same 6-pin SOT23 package and 15V fixed output, but 250mA current limit instead of 500mA. | Suitable for lower-current LCD panels (<10mA at 20V); less capable under transient load spikes. | Select when load current remains ≤10mA and board space or cost optimization is prioritized over headroom. |
| TPS61042DBVR | Fixed 15V output, 400mA current limit, 500kHz max switching frequency, no internal p-channel isolation switch. | Lacks True Shutdown - output remains coupled to input via inductor/diode during shutdown, causing residual load current. | Choose only if True Shutdown is unnecessary and 400mA peak current suffices; verify system-level leakage requirements. |
Compared with MAX8575EUT+T, MAX8573EUT+T offers identical pinout and regulation but reduced current capability, while TPS61042DBVR lacks critical isolation during shutdown - making MAX8575EUT+T the only option meeting both 500mA delivery and zero-load leakage requirements for battery-critical LCD bias.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX8575EUT+T over temperature?
The MAX8575EUT+T delivers a fixed 15V output with ±0.187V tolerance across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, corresponding to ±1.25% accuracy. This specification is guaranteed by design and verified in production testing, ensuring consistent LCD contrast performance without external trimming or calibration in the MAX8575EUT+T application.
Does the MAX8575EUT+T require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the MAX8575EUT+T does not require external feedback resistors. It features an internal resistor divider that fixes the output voltage at 15V, as confirmed in the Selector Guide and Typical Application Circuit (Figure 3). External resistors are only needed for adjustable-output variants like MAX8570EUT+T or MAX8571EUT+T - not for the MAX8575EUT+T.
How does the True Shutdown™ feature of the MAX8575EUT+T reduce system power consumption?
The MAX8575EUT+T True Shutdown™ uses an internal p-channel MOSFET to physically disconnect the input supply from the inductor during shutdown, reducing supply current to 0.05µA (typ). Unlike conventional boost converters, this eliminates leakage through the inductor and output diode, ensuring zero static load on the battery - a critical advantage in always-on portable devices using the MAX8575EUT+T.
Can the MAX8575EUT+T drive a 20mA load at 20V from a 3.6V Li+ battery?
Yes, the MAX8575EUT+T is explicitly rated to supply up to 20mA at 20V from a single Li+ battery (2.7V–5.5V input), as stated in the General Description and confirmed by the 500mA current limit and 87% typical efficiency. This capability is validated under standard test conditions (VCC = 3.6V, 5mA load) and supported by efficiency vs. load curves in the MAX8575EUT+T datasheet.
What protection features does the MAX8575EUT+T provide against common circuit faults?
The MAX8575EUT+T includes fault protection for open feedback resistors (shuts down and grounds OUT), missing or reversed external diodes (halts switching), and output shorts (enters soft-start restart cycle). These behaviors are documented in Table 1 ("Protection Features") and prevent damage to both the MAX8575EUT+T and downstream LCD drivers - a key differentiator versus generic boost controllers.
