•
10-BIT RESOLUTION
The BUF16821 offers 16 programmable gamma
channels and two programmable VCOM channels.

•
16-CHANNEL P-GAMMA
2-CHANNEL P-VCOM
The final gamma and VCOM values can be stored in
the on-chip, nonvolatile memory. To allow for
programming errors or liquid crystal display (LCD)
panel rework, the BUF16821 supports up to 16 write
operations to the on-chip memory.
16x REWRITABLE NONVOLATILE MEMORY
TWO INDEPENDENT PIN-SELECTABLE
MEMORY BANKS
•
RAIL-TO-RAIL OUTPUT
The BUF16821 has two separate memory banks,
allowing simultaneous storage of two different gamma
curves to facilitate switching between gamma curves.

LOW SUPPLY CURRENT
All gamma and VCOM channels offer a rail-to-rail
output that typically swings to within 150mV of either
supply rail with a 10mA load. All channels are
programmed using an I2C interface that supports
standard operations up to 400kHz and high-speed
data transfers up to 3.4MHz.
SUPPLY VOLTAGE: 9V to 20V
DIGITAL SUPPLY: 2V to 5.5V
I2C™ INTERFACE: Supports 400kHz and
3.4MHz
The BUF16821 is manufactured using Texas
Instruments’ proprietary, state-of-the-art, high-voltage
CMOS process. This process offers very dense logic
and high supply voltage operation of up to 20V. The
BUF16821 is offered in a HTSSOP-28 PowerPAD™
package, and is specified from –40°C to +85°C.
