temperature hysteresis. When the die temperature GND

reaches +170°C, the device shuts down. When the die

cools down by 15°C, the device turns on again. In a TFT-
LCD application, the duty cycle is very low. Even with high
values of voltage and current, the power dissipation is low
and the chip does not shut down.

Applications Information transient loads. The MAX9650/MAX9651 require a

Output Load
The MAX9650/MAX9651 are designed to drive capaci-
tive loads. A small value of series resistance improves
the performance of the device to ensure stability and fast
settling with very large or very small capacitive loads. In
many cases, this resistance is already present due to
connection resistance in the wiring and no addition-
al physical resistor is necessary. For minimum series
resistance required for stability with capacitive loading, see
Figure 2.
Power Supplies and Bypass Capacitors
The MAX9650/MAX9651 operate from a 6V to 20V
single supply or from ±4.5V to ±10V dual supplies. Proper
supply bypassing ensures stability while driving high
minimum 10μF (C1) and 0.1μF (C2) power-supply bypass
capacitors placed as close as possible to the power-
supply pin (VDD). See Figure 3. For dual-supply operation,
use 10μF and 0.1μF bypass capacitors on both supplies
(VDD and GND) with each capacitor placed as close as
possible to VDD and GND.
Layout and Grounding
The exposed pad on the μMAX and TDFN packages
provides a low thermal resistance for heat dissipation.
Solder the exposed pad to a ground plane for best
thermal performance. Do not route traces under these
packages. For dual-supply operation, the exposed pad
(EP) can be electrically connected to the negative supply
or it can be left unconnected.
