LCD bias generator in a SOT-23-6 footprint
The MAX8572EUT+T is a single-output DC-DC converter IC from Analog Devices, purpose-built for generating the bias rail in LCD panels. Housed in a 6-pin SOT-23 package (SOT-6 supplier device package), the part suits compact portable displays where board area is tight.
Active production, RoHS3, and sourcing posture
Analog Devices lists the MAX8572EUT+T as Active on the lifecycle record. It is also fully RoHS3 compliant, meaning no exemptions for lead, cadmium, or the other restricted substances under EU 2015/863.
The 85°C ceiling is the usual limit for consumer and most portable equipment; for an automotive-grade display requiring 105°C or 125°C, a different bias part would be needed. The 2.7 V minimum input means the converter starts from a nearly depleted Li-ion cell (typical cutoff ~3.0 V) and still generates the 15 V bias rail. This low dropout headroom matters in battery-powered handhelds where the battery voltage sags under load.
Packaging options for volume and prototyping
The reel quantity is the standard SOT-23 carrier; cut-tape orders are typically a single strip or partial reel.
