HD66325A (TFT Driver)
64-level Grayscale Driver for the TFT
Liquid Crystal Display for XGA Systems
ADE-207-296(Z)
Rev.0.1
April 1999
Description
The HD66325A is a TFT driver LSI suitable for XGA systems (eight HD66325As used). It receives 6-
bit-per-pixel digital display data, and generates and outputs voltages for 64 grayscales. The output
circuit includes an operational amplifier and is capable of alternating outputs of positive-polarity and
negative-polarity voltages on individual output pins. This results in a high-quality display with
minimal crosstalk.
The effective output voltage deviation is limited to about
±
2 mV by incorporating the original
chopper-type amplifier circuit.

Multicolor display
The HD66325A receives 6-bit-per-pixel digital display data, and selects and outputs a display
voltage from 64 grayscale voltages, enabling a maximum of 260,000 display colors when using
R/G/B color filters.

•
Dot inversion drive
The voltage can be alternated between positive polarity and negative polarity on individual
output pins, allowing a dot-by-dot inversion drive even with a single-sided layout configuration.
This provides a high-quality display with minimal crosstalk. Also, since both positive-polarity
and negative-polarity voltages are generated by an externally provided reference power supply,
either an asymmetric or a symmetric drive can be used according to the characteristics of the
liquid crystal.
•
N-raster-row inversion drive
The polarity can be inverted by each N-raster-rows. The charge or discharge current under the
TFT load can be lowered and flicker on the specific display can be reduced.
•
Chopper-type operational amplifier
The output circuit includes an operational amplifier, which enables the external reference power
supply circuit to be configured using only resistance ladders. In addition, use of the chopper-
type amplifier eliminates output voltage deviations between frames and ensures high-quality
displays.
