OVERVIEW:
Clare Micronix introduces the MXED401, targeted
for the emerging non-volatile reflective LCD
market, specifically bi-stable and multi-stable
Cholesteric LCD’s. The MXED401 supports 200
phase-controlled voltage data outputs. This is
the first standard product driver for ChLCD display
panels.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:
The MXED401 driver functions as a level shifter with a resting state at ground potential. Proper
operation of the logic enables gray-scale capability. The output is a 128 Counter Clock (CCLK) event
where each channel is a low resistive switch to external symmetric (with respect to ground) voltage
supplies. Proper operation of the logic allows gray scale capability. The output is initially low (MV4)
from one to sixty-four CCLK times, then continuously high (PV4) for sixty-four CCLK times, returning
low for the balance of the 128 CCLK cycle (before returning to its quiescent value (VSS2)). The data
driver chip is manufactured in a high voltage (30 V) CMOS process and is available in gold-bumped-
die form.
The Token Bit Shift Register is used to control data latch timing for the Temporary Storage Register.
A token bit (initialized by SRIN input) is transferred sequentially among the 200 possible (internal)
outputs of the Shift register. This allows data to fill the Temporary Storage Register to in a Right to
Left fashion. When the Temporary Register is filled its contents may be transferred to the Output
Storage register via the LAT input. Output phase control is then accomplished by the Pulse Phase
Shift Logic, data then passes to the High Voltage Translator unit to control the three output switches
associated with each column output driver.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Voltage Regulator
This product may be operated from supplies as low as 2.5 Volts. The output drive transistors require
a voltage of 5.0 volts to 11.0 volts on the XIN pin to assure proper circuit operation. This bias voltage
may be developed on the chip or provided by the system designer. When XIN is provided externally,
the REN (Regulator ENable) pin is held low, and the FLYHI/FLYLO pins are left unconnected.
Systems lacking an available bias may use the on chip voltage regulator. The circuit is enabled by
forcing REN high (to VDD1). This will cause an on-chip oscillator/charge pump circuit to operate
continuously and output a somewhat regulated 5 volts at pin REG5V. A capacitor (CFLY=0.1uF) is
connected between pins FLYHI and FLYLO. A storage capacitor (CHOLD=1.0uF) is required on
REG5V. The XIN input is then connected to the REG5V output. The charge pump is capable of
driving 18 XIN loads so generally only one or two circuits are used as regulator sources. In systems
where more than one regulator circuit is enabled it is forbidden to short their respective HOLD
capacitors. Enabling the regulator causes an additional DC current of 65uA (130 uA maximum) to
flow from VDD1 to VSS1.
