PD16641
SOURCE DRIVER FOR 240-OUTPUT TFT-LCD (64 GRAY SCALES)
DESCRIPTION
The
µ
PD16641 is a source driver for TFT-LCD 64 gray scale displays. Its logic circuit operates at 3.3 V and the
driver circuit operates at 3.3 or 5.0 V (selectable). The input data is digital data at 6 bits
×
3 dots, and 260,000 colors
can be displayed in 64-value outputs
γ
-corrected by the internal D/A converter and 11 external power supplies.
Because the clock frequency is 33 MHz
MIN
, the
µ
PD16641 can be used in TFT-LCD panels conforming to the VGA
standards.

This pin inputs/outputs start pulses when two or more
µ
PD16641s are connected
in cascade. Shift direction of shift register is as follows:

Inputs shift clock to shift register. Display data is loaded to data register at rising
edge of this pin.
Start pulse output goes high at rising edge of 80th clock after start pulse has been
input, and serves as start pulse to driver in next stage. 80th clock of driver in first
stage serves as start pulse of driver in next stage.
Contents of data register are latched at rising edge, transferred to D/A converter,
and output as analog voltage corresponding to display data. Contents of initial
shift register are cleared after STB has been input. One pulse of this signal is
input when
µ
PD16641 is started, and then device operates normally. For STB
input timing, refer to
Relations between STB, Start Pulse, and Blanking Period
in Switching Characteristic Waveform.

turn off power in the reverse order, to prevent the

4. RELATION BETWEEN INPUT DATA AND OUTPUT VOLTAGE VALUE
The 11 major points on the
γ
characteristic curve of the LCD panel are arbitrarily set by external power supplies V
0
through V
10
. If the display data is 00
H
or 3F
H
, gray scale voltage V
0
or V
10
is output. If the display data is in the range
01
H
to 3E
H
, the high-order 3 bits select an external powers pair V
n+1
, V
n
. The low-order 3 bits evenly divide the range
of V
n+1
to V
n
into eight segments by means of D/A conversion (however, the ranges from V
9
to V
8
and from V
2
to V
1
are divided into seven segments) to output a 64 gray scale voltage.
