The MAX8575EUT-T: One compliance detail to flag before committing the BOM: this part is RoHS non-compliant, meaning it contains lead or other restricted substances above the RoHS threshold — a consideration for designs bound by RoHS-10 exemptions or destined for regions with strict hazardous-substance regulations.
What the part does — LCD boost with true shutdown
The MAX8575EUT-T is an LCD boost converter with true shutdown, meaning the output is completely disconnected from the input when the shutdown pin is asserted — no leakage path through the switching element. This true-shutdown feature matters in battery-powered LCD applications where the display backlight or bias rail must be fully isolated during sleep to prevent the battery from draining through the converter's internal diode.
Package and procurement posture
Supplied in Bulk packaging — loose units rather than tape-and-reel — which suits prototyping, small-run production, or rework stations where a full reel is unnecessary.
