28 V supply, 2.5 mA quiescent — TFT-LCD gamma and VCOM bias
The MAX8712ETC is a linear regulator IC from Analog Devices, purpose-built for TFT-LCD panel power — specifically the gamma buffer and VCOM driver rails. It operates from a 28 V supply and draws a maximum of 2.5 mA quiescent current, which matters when the bias rail is always-on in a display module.
Package and board-fit — 12-WQFN with exposed pad
Housed in a 12-WQFN exposed-pad package (supplier device package 12-TQFN, 4x4 mm), the MAX8712ETC is surface-mount only. The exposed paddle must be soldered to a thermal land on the PCB; the pad's copper area sets the effective thermal resistance for the 28 V input rail. The package is supplied in Bulk — no reel or tape quantity is specified, so procurement should confirm the packaging format at RFQ for pick-and-place compatibility.
Lifecycle and compliance — active, RoHS non-compliant
Note that the part is listed as RoHS non-compliant. If your BOM requires RoHS 10/10 compliance, verify the date code and the exemption status — this may be a legacy part that predates the RoHS transition or carries an exempt application.
