7-Bit, Programmable VCOM Reference
with 30x MOTP Memory
General Description
The MAX9660 provides a programmable reference volt-
age for VCOM adjustment in TFT-LCD panels. A 7-bit,
current digital-to-analog converter (DAC) sinks current
from an external resistor-divider string to create the
VCOM reference voltage, which then serves as the input
to a voltage buffer capable of driving out high current.
The MAX9660 includes multiple one-time programma-
ble (MOTP) memory to store the DAC code on the chip,
eliminating the need for external EEPROM. The chip
supports up to 30 write operations to MOTP memory.
The MAX9660 has an I
2
C interface to set the VCOM ref-
erence voltage and write into MOTP memory.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
