PD16738
384-OUTPUT TFT-LCD SOURCE DRIVER
(COMPATIBLE WITH 64-GRAY SCALES )
DESCRIPTION
The
µ
PD16738 is a source driver for TFT-LCDs capable of dealing with displays with 64-gray scales. Data input is based
on digital input configured as 6 bits by 6 dots (2 pixels), which can realize a full-color display of 260,000 colors by output of 64
values
γ
-corrected by an internal D/A converter and 5-by-2 external power modules. Because the output dynamic range is as
large as V
SS2
+0.1 V to V
DD2
–0.1 V, level inversion operation of the LCD’s common electrode is rendered unnecessary. Also,
to be able to deal with dot-line inversion, n-line inversion and column line inversion when mounted on a single side, this
source driver is equipped with a built-in 6-bit D/A converter circuit whose odd output pins and even output pins respectively
output gray scale voltages of differing polarity. Assuring a maximum clock frequency of 45 MHz when driving at 2.7 V, this
driver is applicable to XGA-standard TFT-LCD panels.

CLK
Shift clock input
R,/L = H : Becomes the start pulse input pin.
R,/L = L : Becomes the start pulse output pin.
R,/L = H : Becomes the start pulse output pin.
R,/L = L : Becomes the start pulse input pin.
Refers to the shift register’s shift clock input. The display data is incorporated into
the data register at the rising edge.
At the rising edge of the 64th clock after the start pulse input, the start pulse
output reaches the high level, thus becoming the start pulse of the next-level
driver.
STB
Latch input
The contents of the data register are transferred to the latch circuit at the rising
edge. And, at the falling edge, the gray scale voltage is supplied to the driver. It
is necessary to ensure input of one pulse per horizontal period.
POL
Polarity input
POL = L : The S
2n–1
output uses V
0
to V
4
as the reference supply. The S
2n
output
uses V
5
to V
9
as the reference supply.
POL = H: The S
2n–1
output uses V
5
to V
9
as the reference supply. The S
2n
output
uses V
0
to V
4
as the reference supply.
S
2n-1
indicates the odd output: and S

indicates the even output. Input of the POL
signal is allowed the setup time (t

Cautions 1. The power start sequence must be V

& V

to V
9
in that order.
Reverse this sequence to shut down. (Simultaneous power application to V
DD2
and V

is
possible.)
2. To stabilize the supply voltage, please be sure to insert a 0.1

F bypass capacitor between
V

-V
SS1
and V
DD2
-V
SS2
. Furthermore, for increased precision of the D/A converter, insertion of
a bypass capacitor of about 0.01

terminals (V
