384-OUTPUT TFT-LCD SOURCE DRIVER
(COMPATIBLE WITH 64-GRAY SCALES)
MOS INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
DESCRIPTION
The
µ
PD16732A, 16732B are 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 65 MHz when driving at 3.0 V, 45 MHz when driving at 2.3 V, this driver is
applicable to XGA-standard TFT-LCD panels and SXGA TFT-LCD panels by input display signal 2 systems (Clock
divide).

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
2n
indicates the even output. Input of the POL
signal is allowed the setup time (t
POL
-
STB
) with respect to STB’s rising edge.
POL2
Data inversion
POL2 = H : Display data is inverted.
POL2 = L : Display data is not inverted
LPC
Low power control input
The current consumption is lowered by controlling the constant current source of
the output amplifier. In low power mode (LPC = “L”), the V
DD2
of static current
consumption can be reduced to two thirds of the normal current consumption. This
pin is pulled up to the V
DD1
power supply inside the IC.
LPC = H or Open : Normal power mode
LPC = L : Low power mode

Bias control
Description
This pin can be used to finely control the bias current inside the output amplifier.
In cases when fine-control is necessary, connect this pin to the stabilized ground
potential (V
SS2
)
via an external resistor of 10 to 100kΩ
(per
IC).
When this fine-control function is not required, leave this pin open.

Cautions 1. The power start sequence must be V

& V

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

-V

and V

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

terminals (V
