DESCRIPTION
LOW SUPPLY CURRENT: 1mA/ch
SUPPLY VOLTAGE: 8.5V to 18V
DIGITAL SUPPLY: 2.0V to 5.5V
INDUSTRY-STANDARD, TWO-WIRE
The BUF16820 is a programmable voltage reference
generator designed for gamma correction in TFT-LCD
panels. It provides 14 programmable outputs and two
VCOM channels, each with 10-bit resolution. It offers
on-chip, one-time programmable (OTP) memory that
allows the user to store the gamma voltages on-chip. This
eliminates the need for an external EEPROM.
INTERFACE: 3.4MHz HIGH-SPEED MODE

HIGH ESD RATING:
4kV HBM, 1kV CDM, 200V MM
DEMO BOARD AND SOFTWARE AVAILABLE
This programmability replaces the traditional, time-
consuming process of changing resistor values to optimize
the various gamma voltages, and allows designers to
determine the correct gamma voltages for a panel very
quickly. Required voltage changes can also be easily
implemented without changing the hardware.

BUF16820
The BUF16820 uses TI’s latest, small-geometry analog
CMOS process, which makes it a very competitive choice
for full production, not just evaluation.

OUT1
Programming of each output occurs through an industry-
standard, two-wire serial interface. Unlike existing
programmable buffers, the BUF16820 offers a high-speed
mode that allows clock speeds up to 3.4MHz.
